50% of your life is not gone.

you have lived 50% of your life.

we live the life that is in front of us, and that is it.

life has always been a struggle. we can always assume that the rich and powerful live wonderful lives, but again this is a fantasy to make us feel better while we struggle living our own lives.

The rich and powerful are not exempt from psychological distress and struggle.

A house is a house, a family is a family, a car is a car, it doesnt matter how much they cost or how valuable they are. It is the value that we as individuals put on those things that are important to us, that makes the difference.

Im nearly 70. I am in the final years of my life.

These days I reflect back on a life well lived.

that is all we can do.

There is nothing special about life, we live and then we die. it is what we do while we are here that is important.

40 for me was the beginning of a new adventure. Afer 4 years of study, I had just qualified as a therapeutic counsellor and started going to university to do my masters degree in psychotherapy.
