I have spent a good 2-3 (maybe 5 lol ) years so worried about turning 40 where I would be in life? what I would have accomplished? Would I be single or married? Would I have another kid before then and so many more thoughts and worries.
Now that 40 is right around the corner 29 days to be exact, as crazy as it seems I am more excited than I am worried about the number.
Don’t get me wrong I still want to be accomplished but my age doesn’t matter I can still get whatever I want at 40, 50, or 60. If it is God’s Plan I will have it.
If I do in fact want to be married I still have time and I am truthfully not in a rush because of my age. I am happy exactly where I am. My mom got into her last marriage at 45 and it is the first example I have of a healthy marriage sometimes I think getting married older is the way to go.
If I want to go back to school I can, my dad became a lawyer in his 50’s if you want it you can have it.
The closer I get to 40 the more I am enjoying who I am now and life as it is. I think in my 20’s and 30’s I spent a lot of time looking for outside things to validate me and because of that I never really felt happy.
I felt less than for :
- Not having or owning my own home
- Not having a business
- Being the single friend
- No having enough money
My happiness now comes from the inside no matter what I do or do not have.
What I realized over the last maybe 6 months to a year is that it is all in Gods timing what is mine will be mine no matter the age I receive it . When I get all that is meant for me I will not squander it because I waited a long time to for it.
Forty feels like a new beginning for me like I am about to walk in my purpose and I am excited!
