A client put the frighteners right up me the other day, when they said—with real conviction—that they were terrified of growing old.
I think it was the certainty with which they delivered this clear pronouncement (in addition to them being roughy the same age as me, with a similar focus on the outdoors, and on fitness) that had me sit up, literally, in my chair, as my mind panicked briefly:
📦🗣️ “Oh my god, yes!!! Why am I not more bothered by growing old?! How could I have missed that?! Am I just in denial, or what?!?!”
