Growing Up

If your like me all throughout growing up I have always looked forward to something. When your in first grade you wish you could be in second, but when you hit second grade you see its not that much different and great so you then look forward to third grade or middle school as the time when the fun begins. However, when you get to middle school all you want to do is get to high school and then once you become a freshman all you want to be is a senior and graduate. But, when you have finally become a senior just like you have desired to be for about four years you get bored and hear about your friends in college having amazing experiences and great fun.

What this ends up being is a never ending cycle of wanting to be older or get somewhere, but when you get there you only find out that the next year is probably much better.

Living in constant anticipation of the future isn't really a good thing because you end up forgetting to live right now at the moment your at. If your always waiting to get to the better older age you will reach it eventually, but it probably won't be as good as you hoped. See if you don't focus on making your life better now adding time to the equation probably won't get you far. So if your always just looking for the better older age and not working on improving your life now it won't be improved when you reach that desired age.

If we are always looking to the future age so much so that we don't enjoy where we are at right now we will end up never reaching the pinnacle of life we are searching for. We will eventually reach the age we want to be at, but then we won't enjoy being that age because we again just turn and look at the next best age to be.

Life doesn't improve all by itself we got to do something to improve it. We got to work hard and put time and effort into our life to make it better instead of just waiting for time to hopefully make it better. We should understand that there are some profound problems that can be caused by not living in the present enough.
