Want to Be Happy? Think Like an Old Person (2017)
Some thoughts from someone who recently became an "old" person. Around turning 50 I suddenly realized that my life will probably be always somewhat similar to what it is now. The big ambitions and dreams are gone so I don't feel that much pressure to achieve anymore. Also at that age the options to change one's life are pretty limited compared to being in your 20s.  Which makes me much more content compared to when I was younger. I have also accepted that I will die some day.I don't think younger people should adopt that mindset necessarily. It's good to have ambition while you are young but maybe you shouldn't listen too much to other people. In the end being young is hard. There are so many options for living your life but there is no way to tell which one will be right for you. So there is a lot of luck involved. Some people pick the right path. Many don't.
