I wanted my book to have a humorous side therefore I added the “Life Begins at 40 quotes” and “Life Begins at 40 funny quotes”. I have saved the last part of my book to aphorisms. Here are the “Life begins at 40 birthday quotes” and also “woman turning 40 quotes” from the Life Begins at 40 book.
Everything Has Been Said for Age 40
It all started when I was wearing lipstick in the mirror and I noticed that my lower teeth were protruding over each other like a truck hit… Oh my God, what a shock… I couldn’t believe my eyes first. I approached the mirror and looked even more carefully. What happened to my pearly lined teeth? It was as if my lower jaw and teeth did not belong to me… My eyes were opened like a big reflex, the moment I tried to understand whether this was real or not, it will not go out of my mind even if I die. I went back and forth for minutes, even days, in front of the mirror with fear, anxiety and panic, “what is happening to me?”
I studied myself. Even the seed of the incident of the emergence of this book may have been sown at this moment. I looked from afar, came closer, looked again. The next day again… It was not enough, I put the make-up mirror in my mouth and reflected the image with the big mirror. Don’t laugh yes; It was like a cartoon scene…
Why Life Begins at Forty?
40 years old is a ‘big statement’, the process started with my realization of my physical change in a tragicomic way with a memorized fear. In fact, the fear that ‘I will not be able to work anymore’ made me unhappy. I was getting old or gaining experience… Which one to choose was up to me. Of course, it took a while to digest. While defeating this, a wonderful me emerged. I turned my ego to a Lego. Then I learned how to use the energy of the universe. I can ‘bang’ the courage to make the choices I want to live. Now I’m very satisfied with myself. I’m fantastically creative and I am having the absolute happiness.
