Life, however fleeting, is still long for us as the humans living it. Imagine living over half a decade and thinking, "Is this it? Is this all I get?"
Kind of selfish and self-serving to think that the anyone, much less life itself, owes you anything. I once heard the phrase, "We make our own luck."
Simple, you want to do or be better at something... What do you do to get better? You work at it, you push, you find new ways to make it happen... The world owes you nothing and will prove that to you over and over. Life is owed the things it takes for us to continue living. Attention, self care, and willinginess to continue moving forward against odds and bad times.
So, I'm now 54 (and a few days), what do I do now? I was asked, about one year ago, are you satisified? Did you accomplish what you wanted?
Yes. Quite simply, you don't stop becuase you met your initial goals. You find new goals. If no one reads one of my books or watches the media I create-- It does not stop my existence or change my life. I live for my family, but I also live for me. I make the life that I chose and my surroundings matter. No one controls my life, faith, or choices. Now, let's see how much farther this road goes...
