Time Goes So Fast. I remember when I won this. It was one of the first times I’d flown in years. Meeting everyone was fun- I did deal with the inevitable anxiety- but I reminded myself that I didn’t have to go to every event. That helped. I remember being stressed in the airport. Now airports give me no trouble at all. Progress.
It’s easy to think that you have done your best work when you were younger and see an accomplishment in 2007 as something that won’t happen again. That is what depression wants you to believe. One minute it’s 2007 and then it’s 2012. I ask myself- what have I done in between? How would you answer that? Have I done enough?
We can do ANYTHING at ANY AGE. What happened in the past can be awesome or awful- but what matters is what you do now. (That was a pep talk to myself.)
People can have huge accomplishements, but if they are not happy, it means nothing. Others can have less dramatic lives and be very happy.
