I am sixty, but nature was kind enough to grant me the illusion of choosing my age from a broad window. Knowing and then living according to my priorities becomes easier as I age. We are free and incredibly flexible; don't let anyone tell you there are no alternatives. Physics and time are set, OK, but everything else is up to you. There are no authorities outside of physics, and nobody can be absolved for poor decisions. You are the master of your life at 20 or 40 (dudes at 80 and 100 know it already). Are you overwhelmed by life or stressed? Run an experiment: say "no" to the following three requests that take your time and attention, and carefully note the result. Adjust and repeat until you feel you are in control.
