🔥 10 of the Best Things About Getting Older

This is how we start winning.

In partnership with

Getting older feels like a quiet upgrade.

Less noise. Less fluff.

More signal. More of the things that matter.

I worry less about what people think and care more about what feels true.

Can you relate?

Here are my top 10 best things about getting older

↓

1 - Clear priorities

You know what matters because you have tried the other paths.

You stop chasing every idea and choose the few that move your life forward.

Experience compounds.

2 - Better boundaries

No becomes simple because you are not trying to impress anyone.

Yes becomes intentional because you know what it will cost and what it will give back.

If its not a hell yes, it’s a no for me.

3 - Real confidence

You have proof from your own life.

Wins, misses, recoveries.

You trust your read of a room and you stop asking for permission to act.

You trust your instincts.

How to be successful in life:

Productise yourself.

Find what feels like play to you, but looks like work to others.

The more you do things that are natural to you, the less competition you have. You escape competition through authenticity, by being your own self.

4 - Deeper focus

You are not pulled by every new thing.

You pick a direction and finish the work.

You know that’s how progress is achieved.

5 - Fewer but stronger friends

The circle is smaller and warmer.

Less small talk (I really dislike small talk đź« ) , more real talk.

6 - Taste

You can spot quality faster.

In work.
In people.
In ideas.

You choose simple and well made, and it lifts your daily life.

7 - Money habits

You save by default and invest with a plan. Fewer impulses, fewer regrets. Sleep gets easier when the basics are handled.

8 - Health awareness

You listen when your body speaks.

Food is medicine.

Prioritise food that fuels.

A lot of things can be solved by going for a walk.

When i’m walking I get my best ideas.

You’ve learnt that resting is a natural part of working hard.

The problem is never hard work.

It becomes a problem if you don’t recharge.

For me it’s not about working OR enjoying life.

It’s all LIFE.

I’m building a life I don’t need a vacation from.

9 - Calm

You stay away from drama.

You patience grows.

You understand yourself better.

You understand other people better.

You respond instead of react, and most problems shrink when you give them a little time.

10 - Perspective

You have seen seasons turn.

Bad days end. Good work compounds.


You trust that showing up is what builds a good life.

Because no one is coming to save us.

It’s up to us.

Until next time,
