Last week, I wrote It Never Gets Easier Than Now.

I also asked that question–”what was easier when you were younger?”–to some people I admire. This week, I’m going to feature their responses. First up: Seth Godin, bestselling author, speaker, and my former boss.

Dreaming was easier.

First, it was easier to sleep, but that’s an entirely different story.

I meant real dreams. Visions. Ideas of what was around the corner. I still do it, I push myself to do it, I work at it and it pays off. But in my 20s, it just happened. And I wrote em down. Writing your dreams down is a great idea.

What was easier? For me "Life as a package was easier !!!"

Sometimes when I look up to my own life, I realize how much things got complicated in the past 10 or 20 years because of technology even I enjoy every single stuff that got into my daily life, from the internet, mobile telephone, wifi, DVD, Plasma TV, etc .... and lately Web 2.0

Life was simple, Life was easier !!!

Ohh I'm no longer young.,.. boo hoo I can't live my life.

Seriously do you fall for that? The youth can keep their youth. I would NEVER go back to being young. Why? Because older women are better in bed so I got that as an older man. Secondly I am WAY smarter about life than at 20 and realistically I can take a year out and not worry about some stupid corporate ladder or a career.

Your life begins now and pondering the past is pointless. Live now! You have no choice. Think about it.

Argue for your limitations and they are yours and as you get older the arguing comes easier. You needn't follow the rules of the flock if you refuse to be part of it. It is way easier than you think (or are conditioned to think).
