Thinking Older

Current mood:calm

.. .... ..

Not many times do people just sit down and think about or reflect on things when their younger. I by no means have lived my life, hopefully I will live a hundred percent, right now I am only thirty percent of the way. As I was saying, when I was younger it seemed that time just race before my eyes. Days seemed like only a couple hours. Now that I am older I find myself just sitting around thinking about life. I have not been schooled on philosophy or anything, but you do not necessarily need to be schooled in philosophy to have a pursuit of wisdom or to have that hunger to constantly seek out a general understanding.

All of this leads to me thinking about life, different human ideals, perspectives, and other things. I have children and mostly I tend to think about how the world will be for them when I become old and irrelevant, about eighty percent of my life. I wonder if I can help mold them and point them in the right direction. I want for my children to be successful by being at peace with their selves and their spirituality. I worry a lot because I am only one part of many components that will go into making my children who the are.

I have also been thinking about the ripple effect from action of others. There has been a huge shake up throughout my workplace, for lack of a better description. I just think of how far away from the point where the rock hit the lake this ripple at my work is. It's just crazy to think about things work sometimes. Now that I am reaching the downhill portion of my life when it comes to age in sports. I find myself having less of an opportunity to go out and play sports. Sports used to be and in a way still is my conduit to escape various issues for a time. Now a days all I have is my thoughts.
