– Michael Bernard Beckwith
For the most part, it seems to me that people tend to become happier as they age. When I compare people in their 20s and 30s with older folks, it becomes clear that over time, most of us gain the wisdom to not worry about the ever-changing details of our outer experience. We learn that it’s impossible to please everyone, that doing our best is enough, that life’s storms pass, and that the stuff we worried so much about when we were younger wasn’t really worth the price of our happiness. Wisdom tells us to look for the good, stay in the moment, and choose to allow our many blessings to make us happy.
