At some point we have to come to terms with our age, and realize that we need to act appropriately. Often we did not get what we wanted out of life, and this is a realization that enables us to achieve peace of mind. To be content with what we have, even grateful for it (if possible), enables us to live a peaceful life. Often as we age we can get stuck thinking we did not accomplish enough. We can look back with regret. But really, there should be no regret. Most people just live their lives, day to day, not having accomplished the things their younger selves set out to do. The trick is to enjoy what we do have, including the people around us, and to be grateful for even the little things. As my doctor said, I still have my teeth. If we have air in our lungs, it's a good day. So, to sum, health is wealth.
