Thankyou

MIDLIFE CRISIS Don’t give in to your “Inner Child “ when turning 55 this will just compound the devastating effects of getting old. Childhood trauma will create a difficult time aging and getting old.

Only Jesus Christ was able to fulfill that void for me

I’ve been focused on bringing positive people (family and friends) into my life and not caring so much about work and people that just bring you down. At 54 - I want to spend the years I have left building loving relationships. That’s all that matters now

Just what I needed to hear today 🙌

Andy have you had a colonoscopy, I ask cause my dad turning 50 and hasn't had a colonoscopy yet.

Andy Pandy! So proud of you! X

I’m 56 and grab an hour’s Kip in the afternoon when I can at the weekend when I’m not at work.!

Wise words. I connect with a lot of what you said. Also Birds of Prey in the sky, Red Kites etc, Inspiring.🦅⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The mind likes doing, the body likes being. Slowing down is good for both.

I take a walk daily have a coffee and listen to music job done aged 55..what i find hard is loss...friends and family is hard

I'm in my seventies and can now hardly bloody move.

There is only this moment no past no future! Enjoy the moment!

How young were you 20 years ago from now at 55.? How old will you be in 20 years from now.? I’m the same age as you and we haven’t got long left and that’s a fact.!! So enjoy every day because you don’t know what’s around the corner.????

hahah wait till your having a sneaky hour in the arvo

It's a great relief to hear this I'm 42 and I'm only learning to slow down and stop trying to take on the world in aday

A great message my friend! Cheers 👍

If a twenty year old could look through the eyes of a 55yr old, then their life would fall into perspective. They would be more grounded and achieve more balance and calmness. I am 58 and and feel the tranquility of life each day. Yes, there are still the same stresses and bad news each day on tv, but you realise you are an individual and in charge of your own space around you. Do the best you can and be contented.

I think life appears faster as you get older because they always say time flies when you're having fun... Life should be more fun... If you lived a life with a bit more joy then no one would need holidays... Everything's packaged up in time for you...0 - 5 at home or nursery, 5 - 18 school, 18 - 21 college/uni/apprenticeships, mortgages, children x lol x as you get older you realise what's important and spend time on your joy.... I've always worked to live, but instead of chasing material stuff and money I chose to do jobs I enjoyed... I had a choice when my boy was diagnosed with autism, either look after him myself, give up my jobs, or hand that responsibility to the state and have a team of strangers dictate to me what I could and couldn't do?... I chose the former... Turned everything upside down... Way I looked at it I was just putting my life on hold while I got my son used to life... We've had tears, but we've had far more laughter... My joy is my garden, I'm very creative, so I like to change things each year, on little to no budget.. Love upcycling and am currently in the middle of painting the kitchen and hallway... I've learned a lot of minor trades over the years... purely due to a low budget, the housing will cover maintenance and repairs, but decoration is down to tennant, and as soon as you freshen up one area, everything else looks grubby and the cycle continues... Eat the nice foods, try the nice drinks, life's far too short xxx

I’m 53 look at my pic, get ya kit off, climb a tree and play in mud kiddo :)

Time is different in all.minds and doesnt exist none tangeable

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Andy.

Fifty-five years is just over 20,000 days; that's how long you've been alive, so when you take it from that perspective 20,000 days, you have to realize something during that time: you may have had an off day, you may have had an hour, you may have had something happen in a minute, and you thought oh my god my life has just ended and then after several days the situation that you found yourself in that minute that day that our perspective of it changes 55 years is and the matter of fact a long time when you break it down into days you realize to yourself you're never wasted one single day. 8000 days is 21 years, approximately 10.000 days, just over 27 years. 50 is only 19.262 days.

The reason for it is we percieve time by comparison, fraction, ratio of our total time spent alive. When we're 2 years old, a year is half of our lives. So it subjectively takes a long time to pass. When we're 50, a year is a 50th of our total lifespan. So it seems short. A good thing about this for me is that when I get older I have more patience for things that take time - and those things tend to be more rewarding. When I was younger I used to get frustrated if something took more than a few minutes to cook.

At your age I'm surprised you remember being 55.

We are all still the child we once were inside…. It’s just that the physical vehicle fails us. Our minds are still young, but we reach a point where the body cannot keep up with the minds desires…..

aww, bless you. I agree and approve this message. Our culture/society denigrates older age because it wants people to disavow it, though it's the most natural thing in the world. But it can be liberating! So since it's something we all do (or will) have in common, why not embrace it? With your very wholesome attitude you need not fear. It will stand you in good stead.

Your accent sounds like you are from Birmingham, are you from Birmingham?

Who was it who said, 'people have 2 lives: the 1st one starts when you're born, the 2nd when you realise you've only got 1 life'?

I'm glad I had children later in life, it gives you a perception of being younger. Now at 62 my children are only just becoming adults when some friends of my age have grandchildren their age. Yes, time does appear to go much faster as you get older, faster and faster, but you have to be more concerned with keeping fit and healthy than worrying about your age, after all, if you are alive the number will just keep going up, there's no point in worrying about it.

I don't actually see it that way. It only feels like yesterday when I think of a single moment during the past...yet the more I recollect, the more I begin to realise that there are millions of different memories locked inside my mind, and a kalidascope of amazing things that I've already done...so many experiences that I can only wonder how I managed to fit them all in during such a short 66 years. The ying & yang of life...with no regrets. I don't feel less mentally or physically able than I was as a young lad 🌱...simply because the boy inside remains alive...and I'm still fit and strong. We all turn to dust in the end, so happiness means far more than longevity. It is not what we HAVE that matters most, but what we have DONE.

7 hours ago… the 2nd like… Millions are gonna watch this soon… I’ve taken note of all of his wisdom

I really like that! Your videos are giving me a boost on a journey I'm trying! I am going to try a few things you have taught me. Thank you and keep them coming please 👍💪

Stunning advice 👌🏻

Love this!

Agreed

So glad this got recommended to me, I think every person who stumbled/stumbles across this short will benefit from hearing this. Appreciate you pal 💪

I’m stuck at the moment, after a big epiphany regarding my family. I’ve had counselling and have accepted that my family are toxic, but struggling to move forward without them in my life and career. It’s like I’m frozen with fear . Fearful of making mistakes with friendships, fear of failure, fear of judgement and rejection ! I’m sick of feeling this way ! Just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to moving forward 🙏🏻

Your soul is worth so so much. Don’t sell it for cheap, you sell it for cheap when you give into sin. God knows your worth more than that and you are worth more than that to Him. There are two beings right now at the auction for your soul, one is God the other is satan. Satan offers you things that won’t last, and satans intent is to watch you suffer. God offers you his own Son and His intent is for you to be loved and provided for by Him. He loves you so much, you are worth more than you know to God. Turn to Jesus today, He is here and He has put this in your path so you may have a chance to know His love and the life found in Him.

What if I can’t let go of

How do I say this to my partner and myself that I have a problem with the past, whether it’s shame, or guilt

Well said

Wise words!
