You know, so many of us have this line that we're drawing between now and the end of our days

and life does not care about that line.

Matthew here, welcome to another episode of Love Life. If you're somebody who feels like your friends, maybe people in your family are all getting ahead and you're not.

If you feel like they're moving on and you're stuck where you are and you thought you'd be way further ahead in your life than you are right now, this is for you.

I want to give you the gift of a clean slate today. Check it out.

Life doesn't care about the straight line trajectory you have planned for yourself. That just is all about an ever upwards trend towards financial independence, towards relationship bliss, towards familial connection and bliss,

towards more peace, towards less problems, towards a less cluttered set of cupboards in your house.

So many of us have this line that we're drawing between now and the end of our days that's just all of these things are getting better.

And life does not care about that line. It will capriciously take people from us that we didn't intend to lose at the time they were taken.

It will clutter up new drawers while you clean out old ones.

It will injure you at a time when you were really excited about getting yourself in shape and then you can't. It will rob you of your finances in a bad business deal that you thought was a sure thing.

It will rob you of a relationship that you thought was forever.

Life is constantly disrupting these plans we have. And it makes me think about how often in life, well two things really.

One, we can always feel like we're grieving the loss of some future.

Because we've already crossed over, we've crossed the line of being able to ever do that thing.

But life is long. Especially when you give yourself the opportunity to do lots of things or enjoy lots of things.

Life can be quite long. And there are always chances to reinvent ourselves. There are always chances to have a growth spur.

There's always chances to learn something new or to get better at something.

It's interesting, Jameson. I heard the average age for successful start-up founders is, or the peak age for successful start-up founders is 45.

Or it was either peak or average. Maybe it was the, no, I don't think it was average. I think it was saying the statistic was saying that people who start of 45 are disproportionately successful at creating start-ups.

The reason being that by that time they have experience, they have contacts, they have wisdom from failures, they've done it wrong, they've been unprofessional, they've screwed it up, they've done all those things.

And when they start later in life, they have all of that under their belt.
