Time disappears when you are in love with your life’s unique possibilities. And once you get there it doesn’t matter how long it takes. Your age will feel irrelevant.

The ‘inner urge’ for something more is a natural course of living and doesn’t recognize age. The key is to move forward in the direction of your dreams.

Don’t fear discomfort. It can bring you a more meaningful life.

Leave behind a comfort zone that lacks purpose and satisfaction. Your inner urge will reveal itself when you practice mindfulness and become present. You will have clarity about moving forward in some small way and momentum builds.

You can be 27, 47, or 77, or beyond. The desire for more purpose and meaning continues urging you forward throughout life. This feeling doesn’t get silenced with a healthy vitality of a happy mind at any age.

Neuroscientist, Dr. Andrew Huberman, reports it is this activity of “moving forward,” that suppresses the amygdala (the area of the brain that activates the fight or flight response), and instead, signals the reward areas of your brain to release dopamine, the feel-good chemical associated with happiness.
