[QUOTE="DaveStebbins, post: 2213782, member: 1427"] Speaking from the far side of 40 (turned 43 yesterday), I'll recite some of my favorite cliches. There's many things in our lives that we have no control over. However, one thing that we always have control over is our attitude (barring certain medical/psychological diagnoses). You can focus on the good things and blessings in life, or you can focus on how unfair life has been to you. It doesn't change anything except your perceptions and your happiness. I examined things a couple decades ago and made a conscious decision to be happy. It was stupid, and senseless and I felt like an ass. Except that, after a while, it actually made a difference. My life turned around, though my circumstances didn't change. Life's been great ever since. Sure, there are lots of things that could be better (mostly my own shortcomings), but I'm healthier, happier and in better shape than I was twenty five years ago. I'll also echo some other sentiments previously stated by others. Though I'm a big fan of responsibility, I feel that maturity is way over-rated. One of my favorite sayings is, "They can make me grow older, but they can't make me grow up." In summary, life is out there waiting for you. You can go though it any way you want. There are people who have everything and aren't happy, there are people who have nothing and look forward joyously to every day. How you choose to go through life is just that: your choice. -Dave [/QUOTE]
