4. It's also easier finding joy in smaller things as we "age" (mature).

Too much of our lives are spent in trying to acquire, make money, afford housing and food and the middle-life needs. Too much time is spent trying to please others (spouses, parents, children, bosses).

With the knowledge that our lives are winding down - sometimes very quickly and sometimes not very nicely, it is good to accept the little gifts and pleasures. No need to go for the big splashy shit anymore!
