Have you already peaked in life?

Ever worry that you've already peaked in life?

Ever lie awake at night fighting the gnawing dread that your best days are already behind you, that your crowning professional achievement, your legacy, was that pretty solid presentation you did 4 years ago that got rave reviews from a client?

Me neither. 😉

But in case you have ever wondered about such things, data from the Erasmus School of Economics may make you feel slightly better.

The research centered on a desire to quantify human creativity- specifically to determine at what age people like writers, painters, and musicians are at the "peak" of their careers.

The data also shows that while few peaked before their 30's, plenty of them produced their most influential work in their 40's, 50's and beyond.

I guess all that is to say... the best days are still to come regardless. Careers ebb and flow just like life. And sometimes you're just in a rut at work and it makes everything feel more amplified.

Continue to collect experiences, opportunities, titles, companies, projects that encourage learning.

Learn, implement, grow, learn more. That's the secret sauce to "peaking" at any age.
