Is getting older all that great?

  • It all depends on your attitude as you age...

    People tend to accumulate minor to modest medical conditions as they get older. So I can no longer do a number of things I used to do when I was younger.

    At the same time I find myself appreciating life more - and creating more meaningful and significant relationships...

    I also view that I am still in my prime wealth building age group... Now that I have learned more about what that takes and have passed my youthful ignorance on some things...

    Life is only getting better in general, even if I have to change what I do now and then...

    • I hope to get that peace of mind one day. And appreciating life- I thought it was the other way round, that older people became more jaded!

      Also are you Australian?

      • Solidly American.

        However, most truly successful people develop this kind of attitude.

        That always should lead to a discussion on what is "success". Its not just money... its a lot more (and some very successful people had no money - just had enough to do what they wanted to do: Mother Theresa is an example.

        Napoleon Hill list 12 factors that make a person successful in his book "The Master-Key to Riches". Money is only a part of the last one. If you get the others down you will naturally have enough money (money flows to the successful like water runs downhill: there are real reasons for that).

        I'd also recommend a more recent book on how to become successful at anything: "The Compound Effect": By Darren Hardy.

        Go fourth and be successful,
