A lot changes after 40 — most of it health-related and unavoidable. Your testosterone level, your thyroid, your prostate, every day aches and pains, fatigue, etc. Be prepared for it, because, believe me, there’s a reason Father Time is still undefeated.
I just turned 58 a couple weeks ago and that doesn’t seem possible. In my mind, I’m still 28 — the way I think, the way I talk, my hobbies, goals, motivation etc., nothing has changed. But man, your body is going to start reminding you real soon. I’m still one of those “age is just a number” people, but reality can be a *****.
The way you treat your body between 40 and 50, is a huge key to life after 50. And how you mentally handle the physical roller coaster ride, is a big key also. Hang in there, young pups.
