The distant future, then, gradually has less value to you personally.
Treat your limited time each day with extra presence and care.Īs time passes, you naturally have more of it behind you and less of it in front of you. Here are four such rituals Angel and I often recommend and implement with our course students and coaching clients: 1. So with that philosophy in mind, challenge yourself to implement the right daily steps - the right daily rituals - starting today, and let the positive effects of doing so gradually compound in value until you reach your sunset years. But - and this is a big “but” - the steps taken in the morning do have a significant effect on the afternoon and evening. Philosophically speaking, the afternoon and evening always understand what the morning never even suspected. And we begin to refocus our attention on what truly matters. We begin to realize just how much nonsense we’ve wasted time on. By doing so, though, we also distract ourselves from what matters most.īut the older we grow, the calmer and more focused we tend to become, and the less pointless drama, distraction, and senseless busyness we tend to engage in. And as our (subconscious) minds continue to dwell on these things, we try to distract ourselves to numb the tension we feel. We literally scrutinize and dramatize the insignificant annoyances in our lives until we’re blue in the face, and then we sit back and scratch our heads in bewilderment of how unfulfilling life feels. We get overwhelmed and caught up in our own heads, and sometimes we don’t know our lives to be any better than the few things that aren’t going our way. You get to work skeptically with inner resistance.Īnd you let needless stress get the best of you.īecause you’re human, and human beings are imperfect creatures that make daily misjudgments. You take your important relationships for granted. You give too much of your time to meaningless time-wasters. Yet today, just like the majority of us, you are distracted by almost everything else. Little else will matter.ĭeep down you know this already though, right?
God willing, you will be gifted another decade or more of life experience.īut even if you aren’t, the core principle of this article remains relevant:Īs you age, you will learn to value your time, genuine relationships, meaningful work, and peace of mind, much more.
