Mistakes we make
The biggest mistake we make in life is that we end up spending most of it trying to be who we are supposed to be instead of who we want to be.

Yes. I am 58 and determined to spend the last 1/3rd of my life being and doing what I’ve always felt I should have been doing. Of course with age comes wisdom, experience and confidence. I’m ready to be me, build something big and have fun in the process.

Well said Werner. It is indeed the problem that gets acuter as we age and become more “successful.”

True, it took me a long time to start living up to my expectations of me. Instead of living down to others expectations of me.

Agreed. Paying attention to one’s own capabilities and only having expectations of thyself if the best way to avoid disappointments
Actually my grandfather taught me that.
