““I try to live my life, as if I am 85 or 90 years old in retrospect. I was handsome and young still, I was becoming still on the journey. And some how I was able to relive it again. I try to have the gratitude and appreciation of hindsight now. This has really helped me enjoy the moment the excitement of living and building a life rather than lamenting on the next milestone or accomplishment. One day we will also say, I used to do this and I used to do that and I miss when it was like this or that or I looked like this. And back when my children were still young. So the here and now feels like a second chance or that I am reliving so every day feels exciting.””
