An Introspective Look on Aging.

This article is includes thoughts, I never before had. I suppose it's not my actual age (60) that makes me look at things (such as my inevitable death) forces me forward to to continue to develop accomplish or complete some of my goals. 

 

As the sun sets on one's life, it's an unfortunate realty that one spends some of their time and thought about who they once were, what they once had done, or even the things you wanted to do yet never did. 

In a way my original writing on this blog is helping me to direct my focus. It's better to take a lot of swings and often go down swinging for the fences. Then to get caught spending your years looking at the "proverbial pitches" of life and going down without ever swinging at the ball. In other words, I admit to spending a great deal of my life, watching life itself pass me by. Never really putting myself all in, nearly because on some level I was more afraid of success, than I was of failure. 

Failure was something unfortunately I knew all too well. Success was fleeting, yet often seemed possible. Then after succeeding, I would do or say something, that screwed up so many things. Will writing these ideas down help? I don't know.

This title implies a more comprehensive and longer piece. It's another one of these ideas that I will need to come back to.
