I'm pretty sure that it has. Age will do that to you.
Do you think the best part of your life has already happened?
Nope! Best part of my life is yet to come.....and soon I hope!
NO! My husband retired last year and I don't work. We are in our early-mid 50s, so we can start traveling now. We are doing Hawaii this year. We did Alaska last year. There will be an RV in our future so we can visit the rest of the 48, or at least the ones we haven't already lived in or visited.
Yep ... Childhood ... Play as much as you want, other people pay for everything, no responsibilities
If you live in that frame of reference, then the "Now" of your life is surely lost.
NOW is the best time of your life, because it is a moment of consciousness that is BEING experienced. Even our memories of what was tend to betray us.
Live in the Now and be open to truly wondrous things.
