When you reach the age of 50 or thereabouts, you begin to look on the world with different eyes.
The one thing I have seen recently is just how much young people make really bad decisions.
At 50, your decisions are based on a lot of things but are mostly free of emotions. You take things a bit less seriously and you also realize that not everything that everyone does is about you.
It is easy to see the bad decisions that people make everyday by just opening up the newspaper and reading it. The criminal section is literally mind blowing.
The problem with some of these bad decisions is that they can’t be undone. You can’t take back your irrational behavior. People don’t unsee the things you’ve said and done.
Take a moment to think before you speak. Think before you act. Think beyond the moment. I know it can be difficult but life isn’t always about the single move in front of you. It can be about the several moves that are ahead of you that you can’t yet see.
Help your heart get out of the way so your head can see the path ahead.
Ok. I have to give the soapbox back now.
