The problem with this view of life is getting the timing right. Sometimes
the sideways skid can go on for decades, and that isn't fun. My
grandfather, who died at 96, started saying at about age 70: "Dang! If I'd
known I was going to live this long I would've taken better care of
myself."
Enjoy the ride!
