What’s still appropriate for my age?

This may sound like a crazy question, but it’s one worth asking as we’re getting older and would still love to do a bunch of things, but aren’t quite sure if we can still afford to get involved into them without hurting ourselves, doing lasting damage to what’s left of our body or just looking stupid in attempting to do and failing at succeeding at such things. 

So, for starters, I’d say forget about that last reason, because we shouldn’t care about what others think of us. We’ve traveled far enough not to receive approvals or boos from the gallery. What we do, well or poorly, only concerns ourselves. 

As for the two first concerns, we should always be careful about what we’re getting into. We shouldn’t get hurt, because repair time is now much longer than when we were younger and with a limited amount of time left, we shouldn’t have to be stopped for healing or for overdoing certain activities.

We should also make it a priority to maintain what we have and so we can still enjoy it to the end, whether it’s physical or mental. 

In a nutshell, we should continue to dream and plan for the future, but leave enough room for personal discipline, for required maintenance too, and never forget to think thoroughly before we undertake anything original, daring or projects out of the ordinary. 

Instead, and while wasting no time, we should carry on at at our own comfortable pace and continue to execute anything we undertake the very best we can, so we can take some well-deserved pride out of the process!
