With the passage of time, people gradually mature and accumulate wisdom in the baptism of time.
In the journey of life, seemingly trivial things often seem particularly important later in life.
These "lifesavers" may be more meaningful than the wealth we have worked so hard to accumulate.
1. Satisfaction and happiness.
People are always pursuing a better life and a higher state of life.
However, later in life, we may realize that we have overlooked a lot of valuable things in our pursuits.
The love of family, the loyalty of friends, and peace of mind are the "life-saving straws" that we need most in our later years.
Successes, fame, and material possessions that once existed become less and less important later in life.
Being content with what you have and knowing how to value what you have can be your greatest asset later in life.
2. Regardless of life and death.
As we age, our understanding of life and death grows.
In our later years, we may have a deeper appreciation for the fragility and preciousness of life.
At this time, we need to put life and death in perspective and learn to accept the natural rhythm of life.
Letting go of the fear and anxiety of life and death and cherishing every moment of the present moment has become an important part of life in later life.
3.Live for yourself.
As children, we were so busy with work, family, and children that we rarely had time to live for ourselves.
However, later in life, we need to focus more on our inner world and personal needs.
It's so important to live for yourself, whether it's pursuing a hobby, enjoying some quiet time, or letting go of some of your inner baggage.
Only by finding inner peace and contentment can we live a retirement life that is truly our own.
In our later years, these three "life-saving straws" may be more important than the wealth and status we once sought.
These "life-saving straws" allow us to spend our old age more calmly and peacefully, have a peaceful mind, and enjoy a truly happy life.
