Did you know that time moves faster as you get older?
It's a depressing thought...but it's true.
The
second half of your life will SEEM to go MUCH faster than the first
half...even though they are exactly the same length in years.
Why?
It's relativity.
No, not Einstein's theory...just the fact that we perceive time in relative terms.
For example, the first 10 years of your life SEEM to pass very slowly, because those 10 years are 100% of your life.
But the second 10 years SEEM to pass more quickly because they are only 50% of your life.
By the time you reach your 70s, a decade seems to FLY by because it is only 1/7th or 14% of your life.
Yes, time moves more quickly as you age.
That's the depressing part.
Now to the motivation.
Regardless of how much time you THINK
you have left on this planet...it's going to SEEM to pass much faster
than you expect it will.
