Time flies when you're having fun, which is true, but even more so I think time flies when you have a car. I recently had a birthday (thus the reason I missed a day last week) and I am now a quarter of a century old. That makes me look back on life and feel like I haven't accomplished much. I have a long list of to-do's before I die, and haven't gotten very far on many of them. But that's when I realized I spent the first 25 years of my life learning. You don't get the chance to accomplish as much as you would like, because you're to busy learning how to do what you love, and even what it is that you love.
That's why I propose the the following break up of live stages: Learning, Loving, Living, Leaving. Like I said the first 25 years you're learning everything from walking to advanced mathematics. Then there's the next 25 years where you should understand yourself fairly well and are able to do the the things you love. Writing and traveling are my two biggest right now and I'm trying to follow through on those. The 25 years after that are Living. You've finally gone through enough of life that you understand the power of the moment, and you try to get the most life out of every moment that you have. Then there's the last 25, where you prepare to leave. Things don't matter quite as much and you start giving them to those that need them. You try to connect with your family as much as you can, and being right seems less important. Now these are finite rules, and to me it makes me work harder to achieve a since of balance between the four. I don't want wait till I'm 50 to start living in the moment, and since you never know when you're moment is, I always want to be prepared to leave gracefully from this world. So I try to pull all of these moments together into a consistent, which isn't always successful, but does bring about a more fulfilling life.
But maybe I missed a moment, What are you life stages?
