When your a child you think all of your life is ahead of you.........
When your middle aged you think.....Oh Sh't not long now!!!!!!
Preservation thats the key. The older you become the wiser you are. Not in everything just in in survival.
As you age, you think about what will happen when you mess up. As a kid you dont think about that, you think your invincible, you think you can live forever.
I'm at the stage when my brain thinks it can still do stuff....but when it comes to it, it bottles out and surrenders. Not a good situation to be in. Confidence is key to anything in life. Will I ever get it back....... I don't know, probably not. But it doesn't mean I can't try and overcome it and give it a good kicking now and again.
The point to life is living. Not just plodding along day after day in some dreary existance, but finding a spark that will ignite a passion or a desire to try new things.
If you can't look forward to life, whats the point in carrying on. You might as well give up and retire.
