Get happier as you get older

As I get older, I get happier.  Thank God!  If I had known this (and believed it), I would have been happier in my twenties.  With time , your confidence grows, and you have the ability to embrace who you are.  Shortcomings and all.  I think you are also able to not sweat the small stuff.

Don't waste time dreading getting older.

Studies prove that it's correct.  We do get happier as we get older.  Especially beyond the age of 50. Worse, "Neurotic people—those who are prone to guilt, anger and anxiety—tend to be unhappy." But why wait?  Who has time to waste a few decades when we could enjoy ourselves more RIGHT now?
