and I'm no exception to this rule.
Why is this true?
Unrealistic expectations I think is the main reason for this.
I found life to be (especially frustrating) between 18 and 25 the most.
by 30 I started to get a hang of being alive here on earth and creating the world I wanted to live in for myself much the way my father and grandfather did too.
However, 18 to 25 was really rough for me because of unrealistic Expectations.
I found people expected a lot of me because I was tall and handsome and intelligent and this wasn't always a good thing for me because I couldn't be everything to everyone even though I tried.
So, the first thing I would say is that you need a realistic assessment of what is happening in your life but often that just isn't there at the time.
It reminds me the most of what my father said to me about making decisions in life.
He said, "You will never have enough information to make really good decisions in life ever"
So, all you can do is to make the best decisions with whatever information you have at the time while realizing you might have to make different decisions later as you receive better information.
So, always just keep making your decisions realizing that you will never have enough information really to make any decisions at all at the time.
In this way you don't just freeze up and stop making any decisions at all like some people do which tends to cripple them and end their lives because they refuse to make decisions even to save their own lives because of their fears.
So, why are people usually happiest after about 50 years old?
I think the worst mistakes they have made are mostly behind them and so there is some peace in this where if you have treated yourself and others okay you can have some happiness and peace in your life from about 50 years old and into old age.
Because if you cannot live with the decisions you make then you won't.
So, peace and happiness comes from making decisions you can actually live with the rest of your lives.
