Herewith, three “gifts” one 40-something would give a 20-something as their “Forty-Godmother”. What are yours?
1.
A strong center of gravity. To be able to separate good comparison (setting goals and aspiring to grow into a continually better self) to bad comparison (focusing on what you don’t have and fixating on the external).
2.
Insight to be honest with yourself. You can’t lead others or be in a true partnership if you don’t know why you want to get there yourself.
3.
Patience – not everyone grows up at teh same pace. It doesn’t hurt to give people a little leeway / chance to grow as long as it isn’t hurtful to yourself.
