Laptops often get quite hot due to their compact size, especially in games in gaming laptops you often see idle temps in the 50's. Therefore you should not be overly worried, it isnt going to die within the reasonable future simply due to those temps. However if you see you temps go up int the high 70s make sure to clean out your heatsinks and fans with some canned air. (something you should do regularly)

Heat shortens the life span of all components, granted laptops have confined space so heat is always a problem. So will it shorten the life?, well ya but it's a natural result and it doesn't happen overnight.
