AT 40
Like me most of us are in our 40s now, others may be celebrating soon. Some may have celebrated with their family, relatives and friends. Others just let it passed with their colleagues in office, and a lot more observed the day in silence away from home...even far away overseas more engulfed by the demands of jobs that gives hope for his kids, relatives. For me, just smiles of joy from the people who believe in me completed my day, few weeks back. But not after I thanked Him for giving me the opportunity to see and live life, to amaze in His Creations...for the gift of life.
Coming into this age is not an easy task. All of us has our own stories to tell...about perseverance, difficult times, fleeting happy times... about love. But we made it no less... and we are going to proceed further.
Anxiety and fear to some, excitement to many, challenges to others. That's what comes with this age. Life begins at 40, after all... they say. Anxiety and fear that we may have not learned the lessons of the last 40 years we existed and we don't know how to face yet another 40 years or even less. Excitement seeing more the unknowns to come. And challenges for those who continue to soar heights in their chosen fields, in their careers.
At 40, we are entering into the most important part of our lives. It is in this part that values matters most, or should matter the most. Going into in peak of our careers, we tend to influence more things in life, we demand more. Sadly some demands are out of this world, or beyond the norms of morality, justice and equality. But we could still go back to realities of good, clean life... a lot of time still.
We always remember our youth upon reaching 40s. We remember when we could still run and walk with gusto, when we still weighed less, when our hair still all black and intact, when when our memory commanded sharpness in crunch time... realities we could not avoid, could be delayed maybe by technology but not too long. Graciously, we just embrace it. Our heart and mind will always willing to guide us through, after all.
Let's go for the unknowns, for the excitement, for the challenges. Let's go with values. Continue believing in ourselves.
We still have the best things in life for us....even at 40s and beyond.
