Actually it is right now."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve noticed a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> of changes in myself as a direct consequence of aging. Overall, I have a higher level of composure than I did as a 30 year old. I&#8217;m better at accepting without agreeing with points of view that diverge from my own on almost any subject. Well, maybe not accepting but listen and not argue. I more regularly and rigorously remind myself that my beliefs &#8211; even my strongly held ones &#8211; are not facts, and that each of my corresponding points of view is simply that, mine. \u00a0I use the IMHO a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> more now. \u00a0I think I&#8217;ve attained some wisdom (as distinguished from enlightenment) from having my backside kicked multiple times and as a result, <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> generally better choices than I did at 30 or 40 and maybe even at 50.<\/p>\n<p>Three developments have surprised me as I&#8217;ve aged, however:<\/p>\n<p>First, my patience regarding some things has actually diminished, which contradicts what I was led to believe by my parents and others &#8211; that I&#8217;d become much more patient as I got older. As a result, I now avoid two types of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>people<\/strong> like the plague: The first are those who uniformly put their own interests ahead of those of other people, including their own families and closest <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>friends<\/strong>. The key word here is &#8220;uniformly.&#8221; The second are <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>people<\/strong> who I refer to as &#8220;naysayers, doomsdayers, and dreamslayers.&#8221; Those <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>people<\/strong> view every glass as half empty and every personal aspiration as out-of-reach or self-indulgent.<\/p>\n<p>The second development is my sense of urgency and desire to accomplish things as my vitality naturally diminishes with age. \u00a0I want to get out and see more of our country, spend <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>time<\/strong> in our motor home and travel, do more with my hobbies (<strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Ham<\/strong> Radio, genealogy\u00a0and others), take classes on things I never thought I would have an interest in years ago (History and writing). I feel as if I have a long way to go and a short &#8211; or shorter &#8211; <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>time<\/strong> to get there.<\/p>\n<p>The third development: my frustration with <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>people<\/strong> who have stopped growing and are OK with that. These are <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>people<\/strong> who seem to believe that the first 25% of life is for growing and the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>last<\/strong> 75% is for resting. They are who they are going to be. They&#8217;re satisfied, entitled, bored or resentful. Their skills are outdated and\/or their perspectives have congealed and solidified. They pine for the way things used to be and whine about how things are, although, I do fall back on this at times as I see some things that sure worked better before the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>last<\/strong> few changes were implemented and see where we should <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> corrections on some new implementations to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> them better. Many regard themselves as victims and all others as villains, this I probably hate the most, the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>people<\/strong> that always blame their current predicament on others, the economy, the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>last<\/strong> employer, etc. \u00a0They <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>need<\/strong> to quit blaming and just get out and fix the current, and sometimes you have to do things you don&#8217;t want to, but if you have a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plan<\/strong> it will lead to things you want to do.<\/p>\n<p>Here are my wishes for all of you: Create the life you dream about. No excuses, no blame, no guilt. Build a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plan<\/strong> and carry out that plan,and <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> changes as you <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>need<\/strong> to. Do more; give more; help more, learn more, save some. Become the person you have always wanted to be. Establish goals and take relevant action toward their achievement. Measure your progress; <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> course corrections along the way. Learn from your mistakes, of which there will be many if you&#8217;re actually doing things. Read the great books, not just the trivial for entertainment. Visit museums. Develop new skills. Make new <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>friends<\/strong> and appreciate the ones you already have. \u00a0Focus on the things in your life that <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> you happy and force you to move forward.<\/p>\n<p>Most of all, whatever your aspirations, never quit!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of all, whatever your aspirations, never quit! <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ishmaels.net\/blog\/2010\/12\/26\/is-it-too-early-or-too-late-actually-is-right-now\/\">&#8220;And Now the Rest of the Story &#8211; &#8220;Is it too early or too Late?
