What bold action will you be taking today or this week as a result of being reminded about this truth many of us tend to forget too easily?

I am 50 and I realised that I don’t care about legacy. I spent my whole 47yrs trying to placate and please others and not rocking anyone boat but at the end of the day people don’t really care much because you can never ever please everyone. The best thing to do is to live your life true to yourself and then you will never be disappointed. I am 50 and retired and living my best life being a nomad.

True success is not being rich owning many cars and houses etc, true success is how joyfully you live your life.

What is more depressing is that in most Western countries, you spend 40+ years working 5-6 days a week, only to have the Government take 60-70% of you income in the form of taxes, fees etc. while inflating the remaining 30% away due to the impact of borrowing on the money supply and just plain printing money to fund budget deficits. Sad part is, most of the money is used to create an army of Government agencies to make your life more difficult and restrictive.

It took me a while to understand that....now I work enough to fund my lifestyle in my own business. I don't need a Mercedes or Rolex to be happy, a Mazda or Casio works fine. I now spend more time in nature, traveling, working my classic car and riding my motorcycle.

I’m 27 and I’m living the life I wish, full of travel, hard works, readings, only good friends and healthy relationships and spirituality

Who cares what others say about you at any time? Not to mention when you are dead! Live and love to your fullest now.

I am 63 years old. My wife of 30 years passed away two years ago, even though she was a total alcoholic I think that shortened her life by many years. One of the many things that I wish she had should have done was get outside more less TVand put down the wine bottle. That was 2 1/2 years ago when she passed now I have a girlfriend I’m getting ready to get married and she loves being outside. She loves camping. She loves hiking. I think I met her for a reason. As a handyman, I’ve had 1400 customers and I was constantly working, so I think it’s time to hang up the toolbelt permanently.

Sorry I don’t want to leave any legacy to this world. I just want to leave a peaceful, stress-free normal life of an everyday man

After crossing into my 30’s time started feeling exponentially more precious. I don’t really care about having a career anymore, I’d much rather live my truth. Looking forward to a nomadic lifestyle next year!

[NightRidah]

Honestly, once it ends i couldnt give a single crap what people talk about me. Thats their problem. I aint comong back to hear it anyway.

Just turned 60 a week ago.
Time is precious
Used to drive sports cars and all that stuff. l fired my landlord at a 55 and over community and bought a brand new RV where l currently live there cheaply.
Life gets better at 60.

I am 50 now and you realise you live your own life and not someone else’s.There are so many things I look forward to doing and it’s all about variety and learning new things also.Every day try to learn something, its v good for the soul.

I’m 38 and I feel the same way you explained. Like half way through life, it seems like you’re running out of time. That’s where life begins @ 40 makes sense. You reflect how far you came and what’s left😮 You crave for achieving something magical.

Mom (61) died this February because of heart attack, complication from her diabetes, add the chronic kidney problem due to here lack of proper sleep and hard working nature in her food business for 20 years. All of her hard work after retirement and she enjoyed what she got for 1 year... All for that time and energy spent... For nothing... The Irony of Hard Work, to "Retire for a Comfortable Life"....

[ladybird]

Exactly why I am done buying stuff and only spending my money to do things I enjoy and the legacy of what i enjoy doing.

[kayflip]

I think it's wrong to think about how much time is left in life. Rather, we should just enjoy each day and live in the moment. After all, once we pass on, none of this matters anymore.

[repboy]

I managed to spend at least 25 years traveling and living all around the world through work. Now settled and doing something I love. Material goods really are nothing . It’s experiences .

Underrated video. I'm 30 and just had a kid, bought a beautiful home and was able to afford my dream car... had to sacrifice my childhood, because I thought this is what makes me truly happy... realized that money DOES solve problems, but it doesn't make one happy. Went down to my true self, understood concepts about consciousness, what life is really about and learnt more about god... today, I can tell that you're 100% spot on. Everything goes back to being present, being mindful and balance EVERYTHING in life, including the distractions, the fun, the happiness, the sadness, the tear, the sweat, the laughter... you have to balance everything, including how much you're conscious and unconcsious throughout.. ultimately, this will help you to master your mind, which brings true happiness as EVERYTHING makes click now... you understand literally everything, and everyone. Today, I'm not even mad on my worst enemy or if someone insults me... it's because I developed a deep understanding throughout the adversities i faced in my life. These 80 years are just a temporary phase, use it wisely and master your mind, defeat your ego, become happy, be happy, spread happiness...
