Age is just a number...right?
We have heard it all before. 'Age is just a number', 'You're only as old as you feel'
I get the idea in that the number is not important and it doesn't necessarily reflect the way you act or look, but on the other hand, my age is a number that signifies 4 decades of life experiences. I've learnt some pretty useful stuff in 40 years. Some very trivial and useless information too but even that may come in handy one day!
'If I knew then what I know now' is a phrase we often hear but although hindsight seems like a wonderful thing, the only moment that matters is 'now'
It is a phrase filled with regret and actually pointless, so why waste time speculating over what might have happened. We can only reflect on the lessons we learn along the way and see them as opportunities to continue to improve.
Everything I have done, every decision I have made has made me the person I am today and I'm pretty happy with the way that person turned out.
