If it’s moral and no one should get hurt, take a chance. Sometimes it will work out well in the short term, others in the long term and some not at all. The experience will be worth it.

50 Is Half Way
It is often said that 40 is mid life. But I’d argue 50 is more the middle. We don’t remember much from under 12. Then 12-18 is a wild ride of changes and growing up, though for most people many things are done for them by parents or boarding school. Food is covered and so is lodging.
So adult and independent years start around 20. Then 20 to 50 is 30 years. And 30 more years puts you at 80. That’s a great lifespan for those that make it.
So 50 is the mid point. Stay healthy and fit, both physically and mentally, so you increase your chances of a long and enjoyable life!

Think Better, Feel Better
This is very true. If you have poor thinking, you’ll have poor experiences in life. You may worry, be negative, get angered easily or have unrealistic expectations.
If you can train your mind to think better, be more positive and balance your emotions, you are very likely to feel better more often.
Give it a try for a week or two.

Irrational Fears
Is being afraid of flying an irrational fear? It feels very real, and even terrifying, for some people. Even though statistically you have a greater chance of being injured or dying while on the ground, if you focus on that one crash you heard of, and assume you’ll suffer the same fate, you can work yourself up into a frenzy.
Alternatively, if you start to focus on the statistical probabilities of a successful flight, and visualise that success, even through some turbulence and some bumps on touchdown, you can overcome your mental fear.
Relaxing and deep breathing can help. Visualisation is great. Positive reinforcement is very helpful too. With time and effort you can train your mind to overcome anything.

Laughter Is Great Medicine
I went to a Live at the Apollo comedy taping with a couple of friends last night. One had procured tickets. It was a fabulous night out. Great chat at the pub before, between sets and after the show. It was interspersed with 6 excellent comedians performing at a very high standard.
We laughed A LOT.
And it feels great to laugh so hard and so much.
Get thee to a comedy club, pronto!

What Are You Reading?
Does it fill you with joy or sadness? Are you more tense because of it? Does it make you angry, frustrated or alone?
Reading is a great and underused skill. Though reading good, positive and enriching things is so important. Don’t waste your time on junk. Look at what junk food does to a body. Imagine that with your brain.

Plan!
Few people want to plan for later life and ageing but the sooner you do it, the easier and better it is.
Don’t leave the tough decisions about DNRs, funeral arrangements, inheritance, finances, POA, care, assisted living, long term care, and medical decisions to the last minute. You’ll be too tired and disinterested to do it. You might not be thinking straight or you may have dementia.
Plan ahead while you’re younger and energetic and clear headed. You can thank me later.
FYI: Amazon has a deep sale on and my book can be purchased for the price of a coffee but could help you become a happy millionaire! (Great value!!)
Grab a copy or two as gifts for some friends and family! At these prices they won’t last long. I just saw a half dozen purchased in the last half an hour. And there are now less than a dozen left! Act now!
