3 Little Things That Will Matter More Later In Life

What to Start Paying More Attention to Now So That You Can Avoid Having Regrets Years Later

There is a saying, “The older we get, the wiser we become.” Have you experienced your priorities changing as you’ve gotten older, and hopefully, much wiser?

I know when I was in my early twenties, fresh out of university, having career success was something I thought was important. Also, acquiring material things was something I also pursued, but as I have gotten older, it has become less and less important.

Why Does Our Priorities Change?

What causes us to change what we believe to be important as we get older?

One explanation could be that as we start achieving the things we think we want, we find that we are not satisfied or happy as we thought we would be.

If we do the things we do in order to feel happy, and if we don’t feel the happiness we thought we would, it makes us question what is truly important in life.

This may be a reason why we hear of middle-aged and older people making big changes in their lives because what they were doing previously was not making them happy.

Rather than wait till we’re much older, wouldn’t it makes sense to pay more attention now to what will matter more later in life? We can either be making a living or designing a life.
