After the age of 40, life changes. You no longer want to deal with drama, with conflicts, with giving explanations for the things you do. You start making some "selection".
You choose to be surrounded by fewer people, you generally choose quietly, sometimes even out loud. You start to focus more on people who are at peace with themselves.
You begin to see things as they are, without exaggeration and without adding to the values they may lack.
You dedicate the best part of yourself to the person who knows how to go to the depths of your being. Some things you learn to keep close to yourself and some things you learn to let go.
So start making a choice between valuable and worthless things. After all, what has no value does not serve you. This includes many things: words, persons, objects.
You start to hold close to what only makes you a better person. For others, learn to practice the art of indifference. This art form never has an end and does not make you arrogant at all, on the contrary. You may look selfish, but it does not matter.
Everyone has to be a little selfish to defend their own interests in life. There is nothing wrong with this conclusion.
If you waste time with people and worthless things, there is no time left to keep to yourself, as it should be, those who are really worth it. You may sometimes think that time is enough for everything, but when you are over 40, you realize that time flies and it is not worth spending with worthless people and things. This is the difference you make in this period of life, so you understand the importance of time and decide to spend it with those who make you a better person./bota.al
