my new dawn

i turned 48 a few days ago

here’s a few things i’ve learned about life so far

one – if you have the desire inside to accomplish something, then chances are you’ll accomplish it – because from desire comes determination, from determination comes persistence, from persistence comes accomplishment

two – no, you don’t know everything when you’re younger, you just think you do

three – the world is full of deception – don’t be fooled by so-called experts, know-it-alls, eggheads, PHDs, etc… – always think things through for yourself

four – as age increases, one’s ego should decrease – humility should increase – on the surface it seems contradictory, but as humility increases, so does one’s personal power

five – a romantic relationship with someone you love is still the best thing going – better than a great career, a great house, a great anything else

six – God is love and He’s absolutely real – He lets us know it when it’s His time for us to know it

seven – when you’re older, exercise often or pay the price – recovering from an injury is a bitch when you’re older
