What do you think gets better with age?

Speaking of me, patience improves with maturity. As time passes, you realize that not everything goes the way you want, plan, or intend. Furthermore, this realization causes you to focus on more essential things in life, such as spiritual matters, and you turn away from excessive materialism.

Let me explain in astrological terms. In a birth chart, the 10th house represents, among other things, career. Ketu, the shadow planet, is connected to detachment. So, in my birth chart, I have Ketu in the 10^th house. When I choose or take on a job, I don’t consider how much money I will make; instead, I ask if I will be comfortable and happy with that job, as it fulfills me spiritually. However, I developed this attitude through maturation, as Ketu is a shadow planet that makes me notice things slowly and late. Of course, some other aspects in my birth chart contributed to this behavior.

Another thing that improves with age is that you become more confident about yourself and your opinions, and you don’t let others easily influence you. Moreover, you learn to receive criticism more effectively and use it constructively. I believe this process leads to you becoming more assertive and a happier person.
