@nuss amazing list Here is a wishing that you have a amazing 40th birthday. I can relate to some of them. One thing I have learned as every year passes the maturity and intelligence increases . My only regret about myself is not coming out of my comfort zone. I'm work in progress. Some day will take a much needed step forward.
Dear mangaii- thank you for the nice words! I feel the same way- with age and experience, we definitely get more mature in dealing with situations. Coming out of the comfort zone is the hardest thing. I have been pushing myself over the years to do something different, try new things but it’s so easy to stay where we feel most comfortable.
Went through all the 17 things you have enlisted in detail. No doubt , all the 17 things are very important. But one utmost important stuff is missing, which one has to imbibe in oneself as one crosses 40. It's a very very important stuff, conspicuously absent in your list of 17. Can you guess what it is ?
Hello Nuss, Your write up is as fabulous as your forty years of life. Inspiring and simple thoughts to be followed for a less complicating life. Liked it very much. Keep going and my best wishes. - ShoSho
Not sure what you are referring to but would definitely like to hear. I can add many more things; however, I feel these are the most important lessons I've learned in my almost 40 years. look forward to hearing from you!
That made wonderful reading! full of positivity. Agree with all your points for a fulfilling life. Personally though being a senior citizen and quite happy with my situation and everything around in general, still have not learnt to be assertive of my rights where required, when it would inconvenience others in the family. This is something, I need to work on. Best wishes for very fulfilling wonderful years ahead.
One spiritual path either devotion based or wisdom based is necessary for every human being after crossing 40. Thiis is the stage when body pain due to tissue damage here and there on the body start setting in ; diseases start manufacting. However Healthy lifestyle and healthy food can postpone them. All together they cannot be stopped. Children grow up. We want them to live in some way; they want them to be some other way. Wanted things do not happen ,unwanted things keep happening. So one needs a spiritual path to make the mind more mature and accept the fact that we cannot change every reality that goes on around us. That spiritual path should be able to give us balance of Mind whenever things go wrong around us. Till 40 it's ok , not having such a spiritual path. In my opinion , this particular aspect is the most important for anyone after crossing middle age.
