My life began when I stopped watching News

Mou Nir
Every man has two lives and the second one starts when he realizes he has just one.

Jason David
Stay healthy. Exercise. Keep your hobbies and interact with people who see the best in you.

As someone who recently turned 40, my biggest mistake was trusting others instead of myself

C Blaze
You start to realize why people start to really excel in this age, also why large, multinational companies discriminate towards people over a specific age and it's because of the simple fact that they cannot be manipulated anymore.

Pedro Garcia
I'm loving my 40's. Its the "I don't give a fuck" age. Loving it.

Life begins when u find urself..it doesn't matter at what age.

Steve Young
I’m 45 years old, failed in business but optimistic. Last week one of my uncles passed away because of some disease. I attended his funeral last Sunday. He was a multimillionaire. But nothing he could bring with him. Just cherish your family members and true friends in your life because you don’t know when and how you leave the world……

Olivera Stevanovic
This could be said in one sentence : Life begins when you start doing what YOU want ,not what other people wants  you to do.

I'm a father, farmer, and contractor and apparently I've been too busy to worry about this stuff. I'm weatherbeaten, dirty half the time and exhausted the rest...I like it. Turn off your phone and go for a run.

Sandra B.
As a woman, life begins when you become unbothered. Be who you are. Do what you want. Be free from society stigma & expectations. Have kids or not. Wear makeup or not. Be who you want you be. You'll attract people who truly love you the way you are without judging you. You'll attract real people who also live their lives unbothered.

Mike Trevino
Bought my harley at 38. Every year before that except for 2 i was a homless drug addict. Didnt care if i lived or died. Been clean for 3 years and i can honestly say finally my life has a purpose
Carmaela 26
I'm 38. As a teen I looked forward to my twenties. In my twenties, I looked forward to my 30's because I felt like I could be more myself. Now I look forward to my 40's. I have never hidden my age. I am always reinventing myself, but true to my core. The older I get, the less I have tried to fit the box others try to put me in and the more I just do as I please. I'm going to be a very ornery old lady...and I will love that too. And at 38, i have long lost both parents, most of my family, my kids are nearly grown and I am divorced. I don't want to go back to my maiden name, i don't want to keep my married name. This year I am changing my legal last name to something completely my own. It symbolic of my new self. This is a great time in life. Enjoy it and do whatever the hell you want!

Mid-life crisis is waking up the reality of life. It's disenchantment, it's weariness... It's understanding we've fooled ourselves with the collective mirages and lies.

ssunkite1
Life begins when you stop kidding yourself and trying to keep up with the society's conforming norms. It begins once you look at yourself using the tools of truth and sincerity not whether I'm right or wrong but rather what works or not. Detachment from the tribe is extremely scary but liberating to be yourself.

WM Lamp
When I was 20s , people told me life began in 30s. Now I am in 30s, you tell me life begins in 40s. Life never begins and never ends

Martijn Giovanni
When times are really good we forget they're going to bad again, and when times are bad we forget they're ever going to be good again!

A Mother's Love
When I turned 40 my eyes opened to the reality that no one else can define me. Not my parents, not my spouse, maybe my children due to their innocence. This is an amazing experience and I'm determined to enjoy all of it.
UKSF
I tend to agree with Jung that the first forty years of life are just research. After that is when you start more specifically putting into action what you learned. It’s a much more empowering way of thinking about the age 40.

TimBrown5000
I realize now that the first 40 years of my life were spent getting my bearings so to speak

Walt O'Hara
I am 45 years old and I am healthier than ever in my life, I improved my diet, my relationship, I changed my habits, I started a daily exercise routine. There is no secret, just take the wheels of your life, like a grown man, and do what is best for yourself and your loved ones.

Guy Bejerano
The age is just a number. Life begins when you wake up.

Stacie Hulm
At 46, I’ve recently come out the other side of my mid life crisis. My angst had less to do with fearing death and more about being angry with myself for not achieving more. This is until I realized that no one else is watching my progress, and even if they were, it doesn’t matter. This freed me to appreciate the lasting blessings in my life like the family I invested a lot of my time in. My home, husband and kids. I’ve got nothing to prove or complain about and everything to be thankful for, plus, it’s not over yet... I’m much more chilled now and ready to enjoy whatever life has left for me. Aging can be liberating in that way.

MHCO
STOP CONSUMING MEDIA. Stop choosing sides.. Life is RIGHT NOW. RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. Don't let the distractions of Politics & the Media define us of who We are.

List
"At fifteen, I determined to start my learning journey. "At thirty, I stood on my own two feet. "At forty, I understood the challenge of life. "At fifty, I knew my destiny. "At sixty, I perceived the detail to what I hear. "At seventy, I could follow my heart , without transgressing what was right." - Confucius

Formless 45
I had a crisis at my 40th birthday No life, no real friends, no relationship present or past, realised it's too late to get married and have kids, pathetic useless job that made me miserable, didn't know what I wanted to do, not even relatives actually cared, waiting to grow old and die alone. Ended up on drugs. Things got even worse on drugs but it woke me up and things started to change for the better Skipping a long story and how I got better, I now do whatever I want and I have rejected the convention life

Diamond Mind
This is so fascinating to me. This is basically, in a nutshell, about human evolution taking place in my opinion. We are evolving past the point of playing out our traditional societal programming. The human species want to have a more all-encompassing experience on this planet. Collectively, we are waking up to the knowledge that we are more than reproductive tools. Beautiful. This gave me more compassion towards humanity honestly for why we do the things we do. It’s biological, it’s cultural.

Seyma Bekar
Life begins when you realize that anyone and everyone around you can be here today but are not bound to be there for you forever. It begins when you realize that you don’t have to please anyone more than you have to please yourself. It begins when you feel truly independent. When you enjoy existence of company but you are also totally ok by yourself. When it’s easier to let go. When it’s organic to love people around you and is easier to forgive them while not forgetting drawing a line between yourself and those who hurt you. When you truly forgive your parents and feel endless love for them. When it’s easier to accept that you sometimes may need to let some people leave your life to protect your sanity although it may feel cruel.

Precious Alcantara
At 43, I’ve never been this decisive in my life to stay fit, experience the risky sides of life in creating wealth, and making things happen to me. The freedom of choice that I have now from those painstaking younger years is so liberating. Even if physical changes in my body haunt me, as long as I can challenge myself to do more , to have more and be more., life is so wonderful and worth living everyday.

最大的感悟,就是接受并包容自己。接受自己的能力极限,自己的身体的健康范围,自己的一切。对自己有心想做但做不到的,可以释怀,不再埋怨责备自己,坦然面对。 比如国内父母的养老无能为力,比如给孩子们上不了更好的私立。
简单说,会花更多的钱和时间精力给自己身上,对别人尤其是家人尽心而不累心的帮之、为之。

我觉得这个帖子是整个周末最有营养的帖子。也许正是戳中自己的困惑吧。曾经自视甚高,现在却在玻璃天花板下迷茫。觉得再努力也就不过如此了。 那么,还是回到老祖宗的话吧。穷则独善其身,达则兼济天下。现在既然事业到了瓶颈,就好好的独善其身。把身体练好,把自己的能力储备好。把自己的人脉储备好。另外就是,修身,齐家。把孩子管好,enjoy家庭时光。

挺好的quotes,20、30的时候上学参加工作成家立业。每一步走的似乎都是有剧本安排的。到了40什么该有的都有了,比你混的好的不乏其人,比你不幸的也不少。以前的那些欲望达到的,没达到的现在也释然了。学会自我安慰后,比来比去也没意义了。现在只想多抽出些时间来做自己喜欢做的事情,和自己喜欢的人聚在一起,在盼望孩子们快长大的同时又留恋他们和你在一起的时光。也许到了50+空巢时候,生活又会有不一样的期盼和乐趣了吧。
