Turning 40 is a time of deep self-reflection that comes with leaving the first half of life behind and stepping into the second. You set aside the question “What do I want to be?” and start asking, “What do I truly value?” You filter out the noise of life to clearly prioritize what truly matters; focusing on what’s most valuable feels far more meaningful than chasing after everything. Of course, during this self-reflection, you don’t forget to look in the mirror and tell yourself, “Wow, I still look 28… just need a shave.” The best part is that instead of saying “I’ll do it someday” like before, you start saying “I’ll get it done this month”… Because you now know the value of time all too well. Happy birthday to me. 😀
