We all go through different stages of our lives. We also take on different roles in our lives. We are born. We are born either a male or a female. We learn about our bodies. We learn to lift or move our arms from left to right and from top to bottom. Everything is new to us. We want to put everything in our mouths.
As we get older more restrictions are placed on us so we can learn civility. The boys have to act a certain way while the girls have to a certain way. We enter public schools to learn more about social interactions. We’re learning to take part in groups. And yet we’re learning to become more independent from our parent(s).
At 18, we think we know more than our parents. We’re learning a new sport at school. We’re at our first job. We’re learning how to drive for the first time. Some of us have the opportunity to go to college and being away from home for the first time.
We pursue our first careers. Many of us get married and having our first child for the first time. Fifty percent of us will experience our first divorce.
As we get older we experience our first health problem. We attend our first funeral of a loved one or a co-worker. Or we experience becoming an uncle or an aunt for the first time.
We begin to take more of a teaching role, as we get older. We may experience having our first grandchild. We begin to start reflecting on our lives for the first time and what we’ve done in our past.
We experience some regrets but we experience some joy as well. We start to slow down for the first time. We notice that things around us seem to be moving faster just as time is. But we still live because that’s what all we know to do.
Thanks, Joe.
Nice.
