Aging has at least one thing going for it; you get experience.
While we are “growing up,” which is something I continue to do every day, I can think back on times in my life when I thought that taking on a challenge was exciting, and it was just that; a challenge. I came from the school of thought that challenges formed you and basically made you into something better; someone stronger. Challenges do make you stronger, and you learn a great deal about yourself when you are managing a challenge, regardless of what it is.
They say that you get experience when you did not get what you wanted.
Embrace the experience. Enjoy your journey. Learn as you go. Realize that challenges you take on, you ultimately pay for.
Positive and negative outcomes aside, the beauty of experience is feeling peace within you, and not necessarily needing to prove yourself to others. You’ve been there. You’ve done that. Allow yourself to enjoy your journey through life. Start today.
