Each Phase in Life Has Positives and Negatives...

In life each phase has its positives and negatives. In youth, we have freedom from many responsibilities. We have strength and stamina, but we lack experience, wisdom and patience. In our older years, the switch happens. We gain experience, wisdom and patience, at the expense of strength and stamina. Each serves its purpose. Think about it: why do young men fight wars? Because they lack fear, they are strong, and have the stamina to endure. Why do old men lead them? They have experience, wisdom and patience. They save the young with warfare strategy, while the young save the old with their strong fighting skills. Each phase has its positives, we just need to recognize and embrace them, while letting go of what’s not important anymore. You are who you are because the life you lived. You wouldn’t be who you are if you lived a different life. Accept it, and share the wisdom and experience you gained along the way. You’re still important and necessary.

29 The glory of the young is their strength;the gray hair of experience is the splendor of the old. Proverbs 20:29
