The Hidden Benefits of Age-ing
Wisdom, Joy, and Fulfillment in Growing Older
In the past, land was the most valuable commodity. Today, the most valuable commodity is data. Companies pay millions for data harvested from the populace as it allows them to create products that will generate guaranteed profits.
Ergo, your personal experiences, memories, and thoughts (personal data) are immensely valuable.
At 20 years old, you lack significant experience. By the time you're 30, you have a decade of experience to reflect upon, enabling you to understand your behaviours, analyse past events, and identify areas for improvement on a vast scale. At 40, this doubles and so on…
Every ten years of experience is a treasure trove of data.
Your experience allows you to avoid making future mistakes while giving you the insight necessary to help you prosper. You develop a deeper understanding of what you want to stand for.
Every detail within your life’s mainframe can be accessed - the same way a computer hard drive can be explored.
You have the capability to examine every aspect and detail, learn from mistakes, and apply your insights to make the next ten years more refined, elegant, and intelligently lived.
At 20, you didn't have this advantage. But at 30/40/50/60, you have a/or decade/s of data to leverage. This is especially the case if you have a journaling practice.
The more data you have, the likelier your life will keep getting better — if you’re able to harness that data.
Age which is a synonym for time - is the greatest gift we have - when leveraged with a reflective mindset.
But to develop that mindset to the greatest degree possible, we have to self-analyse. Whether it’s through coaching, journaling, or conversation with our close ones - life offers us countless mirrors.
