WHY YOU SHOULD GROW UP AND ACT YOUR EXPERIENCES.

Act your age! I’ve been stuck with that statement for years, not really understanding how to act differently between 37 and 38. When you start to chunk down the years there is a clear difference in how we act, not by the age but as a result of the experiences, learning and wisdom from those additional years under our belt.

For a long time I thought that I had my life squared away, everything mapped out and planned, I thought I knew it all and that my life was pretty much on point and there wasn’t much that could be added or that I wanted that I didn’t have.

My career was going well, there was regular money coming in, quality friends and family, my children were healthy and on a great path educationally. I was all grown up, therefore how possibly could I have grown further?

Sure I could become fitter, healthier, earn more money but that wasn’t growing up, just refining where I was already at.

Looking back I can’t believe, despite how much I knew, how naïve I was, life wasn’t as it seemed and despite all that was good I wasn’t fulfilled, much of what I thought I wanted wasn’t, you could say I was lost within a functional and typical societal cycle.

I wasn’t alone.
