Why do we care about getting older?

I mean, some people don’t, but it can create some stress and anxiety, like you’re behind on shit or you’re just too late. It can shake your sense of identity, leading to limiting beliefs about what’s possible or “realistic”.

Part of my mission is to redefine what aging means and looks like (by doing things like pursuing your passions, never stop exploring and living in the unknown).

This starts with a mindset shift about what your age really means.

What do you think you can or can’t do? Do you feel like you’re behind or missed the boat? Have you ever felt stuck and anxious because you’re not where you thought you’d be at this point in your life and now it feels too late to catch up or to start over?

Well, you’re not alone. And luckily, it’s definitely not too late and you’re not that old.

I can prove it.

I can prove that (with a subtle perspective shift) that you’re probably actually young. It just takes a small nudge to shift your whole outlook on life and aging.

After that, it’s way easier to rediscover the spark, excitement and patience you get from knowing you have more time (not less). The energy of feeling young makes it simpler to take risks and pursue creative passions…quit your job, hop on a plane and start a new life as a beginner all over again…halfway across the world.

This is everything for me.

We must preserve the art of being a little bit reckless.

(another core value/philosophy of mine: be more reckless)

Embracing age starts by realizing that you’re probably not as old as you think

For quick logic, we could use a relative argument. To a 20 y.o., I’m probably old lol. But to a 56 y.o., they’d probably give anything to be 38 again.

But this is just cheap math.

I want something deeper, something that can rewire my whole mindset and perspective on life.

And I found it.

It’s been a pretty big unlock for me, changing my whole energy state, confidence and motivation for pursuing certain things (like YouTube, music and art).

I can confidently say that I no longer care about getting older or believe that any of us actually are [old]. But more importantly, I no longer attach myself to any of the limiting thoughts that usually come with ‘getting older’.

Thanks as always for sticking around. Until next time,

Later ✌️
