From Youth To Now

All it takes is to hang out with younger people for a while to make you realize how much your own ideals have changed over the years.

I often look back in embarrassment at all of the naive beliefs I had toward future goals, people and all of the wonderful ways I could make the world a better place.

So what happened between then and now?

I think for many of us, we get to a point where the demands of work, family and the trials and tribulations of surviving another day beat us down just enough to give us a more realistic perspective. We notice that the things we thought unbreakable soon develop cracks and the people we admired are capable of letting us down.

We tend to get more selfish with our time, engery and money and find ourselves becoming something we never thought possible.

Call it life. It happens.
