Many of our new members are young and this brings to mind the wonderful energy they will bring to the site. I know that this time of life is full of excitment, many plans for the future and yet fear creeps in to arrest much of this. Look at the fear as a control button. When you have great plans and hopes, reguard any fear
as the factor that allows you to take a closer look at what you are thinking. Also be sure you truly classify what you fear.
As you grow older the responsibilities grow, you find yourself in jobs with family to support or at the very least others, be they only friends or other workers to consider in you plans. You look back to when you were younger and only had one person to be concerned with, yourself.
Through each stage of life you will find different challenges, but if you can stay true to yourself and your goals are honest you can enjoy each step. Blessings.

Life is always filled with stages. I can tell you from experience that life becomes a blur when you get married and have kids. It seems like we are just moving along without actually enjoying a thing. I can tell you that I actually feel cheated out of the entire decade of the 90's. I hardly remember anything about it. My most vivid memories are from when I was single back in the day. And now that I am no longer married. It's almost like a life sentence. But we do go through stages. When we are young we all think we can beat the world at its own game. We slowly come to realize that we can never win that battle. We do learn that we can survive in harmony with life. And thats when it gets easier.

Have you forgotten? You are in charge of your life. It's in your point of view.
Many things that you have found trouble others find joy. If life was easy you would not grow and would soon become bitter. Right now you have a chance to challenge yourself and become the person you know you can be. I find great wisdom
in much that you have said, but I feel also great sorrow that you cannot let the past go. Just remember that I am in your corner as I am sure many others who read your posts are also. Blessing

No need to feel sorrow for me or my situation. I am okay with it. I am not that bad. Yes I am depressed and have been suffering from it for a while now. I also know going through a long relationship and a break up like mine can bring people into a tail spin. I have been there. I know the feeling well. But I also know that I can pick myself up and move on. I am just trying to do it in my own way. As for letting the past go, well, it is more then that really. I did lose an entire decade. At least thats how I feel, cheated. I did have a good childhood and single life as well. I am not really holding onto the past as much as I am holding resentment for what the evil ex has done. That is something I will never let go. I am not bitter my nature, only on this issue. I also never forgive for this situation. I will forever hold her responsible for what she put me through and what she did to the children mentally. I know there will come a time in her life that it will all come rushing back to her and her guilt will overcome her. I live for Karma to do its thing to her. Thats what keeps me going. Sweet revenge without having to do a thing. Life is wonderful.

You are scaring me.
I don't have the money to buy a new ram because I don't earn,so I miss playing a lot of new games out there.But If and when I finally begin to earn,will I lose the urge to play?Am really scared!!.Even worse would it be if I lose my reflex due to age.I quarrel with my mom over this topic.She is not interested in playing games and thinks very low of them.I will make her read your post

yes its really scary when we think about future, and when i hear about few stories. Being young is good and that's what i like. Parents become busy in their life and loose all their interest to play and enjoy .

It is not easy to become a complete human being. Every stage of life has its hiccups. We learn nothing from schools that would guarantee a trouble free life. We have to learn from our bitter life experiences. And for the young whose source of energy is limitless, the world is your oyster. But this source of energy can only work effectively with you and for you when you are in harmony with it.

hi, may be you are right.
Now i am seriously in search of good job. I remember those days especially the school days when i was tension free and no worries at all about future.
But now I am always worried, i am sometimes thinking about the old age. which i don't like,because lot of health problems as we grow old. The other day i asked my mom is there any secret medicine which helps me not to grow old.

If you take good cae of your body it will last you many years. With the right treatment so will your mind. Keep learning, exercise, challenge your mind with new information, and keep your body fit with exercise, good diet and good sleep.
No matter what you believe about other lives, this is your body's only life, take care of it. Remember stress can undermine all your good intentions, learn to meditate and do it each day.

and as we pass through these stages of life, we take them as an endeavor towards a successful living. and as we go through these stages, problems are approaching us, and all we have to do is to pray.
