I'll tell you, the difference between 40 and 53 is huge too. I'm nowhere near the same person as I was 13 years ago. I stopped proving myself and out-manning the next guy. Screw that crap! It's a waste of time. Giving is also better than receiving because I find you get back more than you give anyway. And yes, I see mortality as clear as ever. Time is too precious to waste. Find people and things you enjoy and take care of them.
Amen brother. A lot of people don't put themselves into the list of people and things. Got to take care of yourself, too. That is critical. The big difference between me now and five years ago is boundaries. I set them and enforce them relentlessly. It makes your life so much better. Less stress, more enjoyment, better communication, more fulfilling relationships with everyone.
