30 things no one tells you when you reach the age of 40: 1. No one prepares you for the fact you will go to more funerals & this will increase as you get older. The people you love will eventually pass, so we must cherish them now while we have them.
2. At 40 you will see a massive divide between people who took care of their bodies & those who didn’t. 3. When working out in your 20's & 30's it's results first & injury prevention second. After 40 it's the opposite.
4. Age makes it easier to become pessimistic & bitter. Being optimistic & happy is harder & it's something we need to train. 5. Self esteem comes from doing the thing you said you were going to do when you said you were going to do it.
6. If you choose the easy path then life becomes hard. If you choose the hard path then life becomes easy. 7. The older you get the more you gotta work on your mobility stretches & lifting weights with full range of motion. This keeps your body nimble & prevents injuries.
8. It may hurt your ego but you need to hang around younger people. They keep you energized & on top of the trends. 9. The worst games on the planet are status games. If you play this game you'll never be satisfied & you'll never feel like you're enough.
10. Our parents had a different way of saying "I love you". Some said it through cooking food. Others say it through sacrifice. Just because they didn't verbalize it doesn't mean they didn't say it in different ways. 11. Freedom means having the courage to be disliked.
12. Stay away from people who put money or status over everything. You will eventually get caught in the crossfire. 13. Every parent needs to do the Green Box exercise to relieve the burden on their family when we pass. H/T to @girdley:
