I love being young. Most people would tell you that being young is hard, because your not established at all, your not sure of anything really. I disagree, being a younger guy has been a blast, not to say that sometimes it’s hard, but I see things through fresh eyes, I am not hindered by past experiences that would change my perception on issues, and I love it. I am not much of a puzzle solver, Sudoku is the devil, word scrambles are impossible, and I would rather choke on a marble then play scrabble, but for some reason the adventure of becoming who I was created to be excites me. It is a puzzle everyday, and as much as I can’t stand puzzles, my life interests me. I am not tied down to any one specific way, I have no relationship to consider when making life choices, I am not married to my minimum wage retail job, I am free. So right now I am not worried about the future, but not being worried does not mean I don’t soberly consider my future endeavors, because I do; what I mean is that I have people in my life that will and do give me wisdom that they have acquired along their life’s journey. I have learned to cherish the wiser and not to despise them like most of my generation has, and I have learned so much from them.
I choose to keep moving forward, and not let myself stay where I am in life. I can’t do that on my own, I have people with more wisdom and experience coaching me and mentoring me through my beginning steps as an adult. There are a few steps that I believe we should take in our youth, so when we become old, they will not be a hassle to achieve. First, we in our youth should learn to be servants, to serve anywhere and everywhere, instill servant-hood now and it will stay with you for life. Second we need to heed the words of the old, there experiential knowledge will help us through our walk in life. And lastly, we need to learn to be quick forgivers. Forgive and let it go, don’t let it grate on you.
Youth is an amazing thing, use it wisely and accomplish a lot!
