Life Understood

When you’re in your 20s, you’re busy exploring life.

When you’re in your 40s, you’re busy shouldering responsibilities.

Only after you’ve met your responsibilities, there is time to wonder about what really matters in life.

Søren Kierkegaard said:

“Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards”.

Maybe that’s the only way. We usually come to understand life at a time when it’s too late to make use of this wisdom. We look back and beat ourselves up for the mistakes we made. If we had only known earlier, we would have lived differently…. But is it true? Would a better understanding of life have helped us or would the lack of life’s experience make us unable to appreciate it?

Life Understood series is for all age groups, those trying to find themselves, those trying to make sense of it all, and those caught all the way deep in “making it”.

No matter what stage of life you are in, it’s good to compare notes. The insights experts share in Life Understood may surprise you. They may change the way you think. They may inspire you to make changes or… affirm you. Either way:

“The unexamined life is not worth living.” Socrates
