When is a Man at His Prime?
Is it when everything is bright and new? When there are endless possibilities to what you can achieve? When your ability to learn is at its peak and you are excited about everything?
Some may say it comes when you take that first leap on your own. New friends and experiences coming everyday. Making your own choices, taking responsibility for yourself can make you feel on top of the world. There are still things to accomplish, still mountains to climb.
Starting a family can be a roller coaster. The thrills of getting married, having children, and getting settled are greater than anything experienced before. Sometimes the fears of taking care of others can be unnerving but the love and pride you feel when holding them close makes everything seem worth it.
Maybe our prime comes when we hit the pinnacle of our financial career. Success can bring happiness and satisfaction to some. Is this the point we can say that we have hit our peak?
I have a theory. The greatest time in your life isn't during the climb. It is when you have the experience, the memories, and the understanding it takes after living a full life that you truly can look back and say yes, this is the prime of life! It is all of life's experiences added together. Don't waste a single minute waiting for the prime to come. You will see it some day and it will be glorious.
