There was a satirical video I recently saw about how amazing life is at age 30…. as long as you exercise five times per week, limit alcohol, avoid processed foods, sleep 8 hours, meditate… and the list went on.
It’s different at age 80 though. Walk regularly. Keep brain sharp with puzzles. Remain engaged in community activities. The list goes on.
Different in high school, too. It’s great if you can be the first to learn the viral dance, get in trouble (but not too much trouble), play sports, and share your snacks at the lunch table.
What I witness time and time again is people getting frustrated with the difficulty of life.
The reality is that what you’re going through now is no more difficult than what you went through years ago or will go through years from now.
It’s only different.
You made it through then. It should offer you some peace of mind to know that.
Fortunately for us, while we don’t have good control on that level of difficulty, we do have control of what exactly is different; what do we sign up for; what kind of legacy are we trying to leave now?
