Don't die before you're dead.
If you're referring to my own reference to being 40, I didn't suggest that I was old, aging or dead.
But I have aged. I won't go into all the details about how I've aged, nor will I assume all of us are aging at the same rate. My 40 may be another person's 50 or 30. I'm also not suggesting that aging is necessarily a negative. Like most things in life, there are pros and cons to it. I don't want to be 20 again, that much I know, but I wouldn't mind a few extra years of fertility. It probably goes without saying, but that's a biggie.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
