Decade of Decisions

It is interesting that the climax of life occurs quite early. A decade of decisions I've heard it called. The rest of life is determined in these few short years. The complications of finding an occupation and a spouse, determining where to live, or obtaining a vehicle and home. I feel that this is put upon us not because we are ready, but because we are not. Only in challenging situations do we grow and change. Thus in our early adulthood, we need to strip ourselves of childishness and become responsible. Through these obstacles in our life we can grow to become the oaks of the world firm in the winds of the secular and spiritual challenges of life. Hard work and patience is key. One needs to go for what they want no matter what anyone else says. When you fall, you keep going until you succeed. Then it is our opportunity to raise the next generation to do the same. It is a constant cycle. I am frustrated at sundry times by this decade's tasks, but am excited for the challenge and the hope of what lies in store.
