When I turned 40, I was heard to say that had I known how great 40 was, I would have turned 40 ten years before. I felt I was at the top of my game: Training regularly, mentally sharp, marriage good, daughter good, career good. Awesome! I'll be 49 later this year. My advice: Keep training, it is the best and most important thing. I stopped for a while (long story) and ended up with Old Man back problems (10 minutes to fall out of bed, 5 minutes to crawl to the toilet, peeing in the toilet a gymnastic accomplishment, not to mention getting back down...). Second most important thing: Don't have a bullet list, just do shit. Do act in a play. Do learn an instrument. Do be in a movie. Heck, be in several movies (play many different characters, from hero to clown to psycho). Do abandon a successful 12 year solo career when offered a partnership in a small but growing firm (now I have 4 spouses, yay! And growing pains. Yay!). Always say "yes, that would be cool", never be afraid 1. 1 Still working on that, haven't been bungee jumping yet. But my firm will have 10 or so employees in a few months, with almost as many subs, and I'm in 5 DVD/Netflix releases planned for 2014. The 40s rock. The 50s are going to be awesome.
