Why is it that we cringe at the thought of getting older instead of thinking about the great things that age brings.. I thought of this question when i turned 25 this past summer, and began reflecting on what i had and hadn't accomplished in my life up to this point.. i began to panic a bit while focusing on what i hadn't done, but i wasn't giving myself enough credit for what i have accomplished.. i had to realize that life isn't a sprint it's a marathon and if you plan on making something of yourself then you have to pace yourself.. Now being young is a great time in everyone's life, and anyone who knows me knows i think children are the greatest thing on earth.. but compared to when i was walking on

south beach in Miami, shirtless with a drink in my hand and conversating with beautiful women. you can have playtime and naptime back everytime.. In my opinion the prime of your life is when your 30-
55 years of age.. that's when you have a wife/husband. kids. home. a Bentley(at least i'll have a Bentley) all the things that make up the great American dream.. With age your body does begin to break down though.. remember when you were a kid and it seemed like you could do just about anything physically and your body would never break.. that's your body looking out for you early in life.. but you have to maintain it later for success. by beginning a

healthy lifestyle early you can help your body along this journey.. and i don't know about ya'll but i'm gonna keep my six pack till i'm 70.. This world isn't mastered by knowledge. it's mastered by experience because that's the greatest teacher ever.. that's why we love our grandparents and cherish them because of the wisdom they bestow.. there are only so many history books a person can read to grasp a historcal moment from the past.. So we all should embrace getting older, don't cringe.. it's an honor to wake up every morning and deal with the bullshit life brings as far as i'm concerned.. just remember this if nothing else.. that life is like wine, and it gets better with time (i didn't mean for that to rhyme) (damn, i did it again)... what do you think?
