It's surprising how fast 10 years can go! When I looked back from 50 I realised we had just been marking time. It was a difficult decision for us to borrow to invest in realestate but I was determined to move forward with intention. Once we made a move we had some ups and downs but came out better than when we started. We took calculated risks to bring about change. Change is pretty scary. Now when I look ahead from 70 I realise that there are some things that I have to do sooner than later or they just won't happen. That's why I did all my international travel before I was 60. I like reading about what you are doing and I look forward to reading about your successes.
I’d like to do some pack free walks, travel a bit more, sew some quilts Such things get harder as you age. A fit 80 year old is nothing like a fit 60 or 70 year old.
I'm already feeling worse at 40 than I thought I would.
But I'm also trying to keep in mind that age is mostly one's mindset 🤞 (and I'm sure I'll also feel better as I improve certain physical habits too 😉).
You seem so sharp and active and lively! I'm looking forward to hearing about your walks and travels and quilts! :-)
Thanks Lou. I’m excited to see so many people of all ages deciding to take control of their lives. Substack is a good place for me to hang out and absorb stuff.
Thanks Mika. Even a decision that ends up wrong is better than no decision.
You are awesome. Kudos to you.
Love this so much! So inspiring!
You made intentional decisions to get you to where you are. ✨✨
What a powerful post! It's rare to see someone plan out multiple decades at a time, and I love the vision!

Yes!
