This is where the beauty of life's adventure comes in. At forty, you have a unique opportunity to rewrite your narrative. You can discover new passions, forge fresh goals, and challenge yourself in ways you rarely thought possible.
It's a time to ride the wave of transition and create your own destiny.

Uncovering My Stoke After Forty
Life after forty can sometimes feel like a rut. You've got responsibilities, maybe kids, and a career that can feel more chore than passion. But here's the thing: it doesn't have to be that way. I used to think my "stoke," that fire in my belly, had fizzled out like an old campfire. But then anything clicked. I realized I needed to rediscover what truly excited me, and I wasn't afraid to step outside the box.
It wasn't always easy. There were days when the fatigue was real. But I kept pushing myself, trying unconventional things, and slowly but surely, that spark came back to life. Now, I wake up each day feeling more energized than ever. I've learned that finding your stoke after forty isn't about age; it's about making a conscious choice to live with purpose and passion.
- Celebrate your inner child
- Say yes more often
- Explore a hobby
The best part? It's never too late to find your stoke. So go out there and live life to the fullest.
Trying to Hang Ten in My Prime
Well, I'm entering my prime and decided it was about darn time to conquer a lifelong dream: surfing. Now, before you picture some gnarly dude hanging ten on the biggest Costa Rica Surf Camp waves, let me say - I'm more of a amateur. But that doesn't mean it hasn't been intense so far. The sea is crazy, the sun is fierce, and I'm constantly getting wiped out. But you know what? Every time I make my way back to the surface, there's this unbelievable feeling of joy.
I've learned a few skills already - how to get on the board and even paddle a little bit. I haven't quite mastered the hanging 10 yet, but hey, development takes patience.
I'm loving every second of this journey, and can't wait to see what comes next.
