The challenge: If you could go back to any age again, how old would you want to be and why? What age would you least like to be and why?
I am not much for regrets or looking backward. Certainly, a limited amount of reflection is good to learn from mistakes or errors in judgment. Given that hindsight is 20-20 there is plenty to be re-evaluated. But go back? No.
I loved turning 40. There is a credibility that comes with the age. A confidence and courage comes with living that long. You are now a full fledged human being with definite opinions and the right to speak them without anyone looking at you funny because you “aren’t old enough” to have that viewpoint. A full resume that reflects where you’ve been; and, still you are young enough to have dreams for the future.
Who knows, it might be better when I turn 50!
The only age I would not want to be is whatever age you are when you are no longer learning and growing.
Right now? At 43, I’m glad to simply be my age.
