33

I turned 33 last month. The first thing I always think about when I hear that age is that that's how old Jesus was when he was crucified. I'm as old as Jesus made it to. Doesn't that ramp up the pressure to "do something" with my life? Regardless of your religious beliefs about Jesus, In 3 short years between the ages of 30 and 33 he changed the course of western civilization.

Other religious founders also had their epiphanies around their 30s. Paul apparently was also around 30 at his conversion on the road to Damascus. Buddha was 35 when he received enlightenment under the bodhi tree. Muhammad was visited by the angel Gabriel at age 40.

So this could be a big decade for me right? I'm excited to find out.
