The older I get, the closer I come to living my best life. This has nothing to do with yachts, money, social standing, or good deeds done. It has to do with coming closer to being myself. To speaking my truths, not the truths of others. To loving even Japanese beetles. OK maybe I don't love japanese beetles.
I know many who measure their life-status (and personal value/worth) in this way but it's a false economy and one that doesn't always repay those who invest into it.
