Today I did the math. At age 38, there’s 27 more years until retirement age of 65. I started my career at 22, so that’s only 16 years under my belt. Only slightly over 1/3 into my working path. There’s still lots of time.
Also today, we had a dance party in the rain. Well, we were under a canopy but enough rain was coming sideways that we felt it. My ankle also felt it. While I’m still healthy, I know my body is aging. We need to make the best of the time we do have. Don’t waste it, there’s not that much time left.
It’s a balance. Set goals as if have unlimited time. Execute your plans as if you’re out of time.
