I am in my 50s and also have stopped to worry about stuff. I also don't worry anymore about things "I should achieve". It hasn't happened until now so it probably ain't gonna happen ever. It's a thin line to walk though. I see people who don't ever seem to be be content, keep chasing things that they most likely won't achieve and are very frustrated with this. My body is also not getting any better so I have accepted that I shouldn't try stuff I did in my 20s.
To me it's a source of content and acceptance but depending on your personality it can go the other way.
I still have things I want to do but if they don't happen I am OK with that.
- hellofunk 8y ago> It hasn't happened until now so it probably ain't gonna happen ever. I think it's perfectly fine to be content with this perspective. However, just a note that many, many people and figures past and present fell into their zone for the first time even in their 60s.
- maxxxxx 8y agoThat may happen and would be great. I just don't think it's worth to put pressure on myself to achieve something I haven't been able to do for 30 years. For example: I would love to run my own small company. But I have learned repeatedly that I am no good at selling and also not very creative in coming up with new products. So now I am content with a regular job.
