I was ten, and all I wanted was what everyone else had.
I was twenty, and I fought everything everyone else had.
I was thirty and tried to convince everyone I had what they had.
I was forty and thought I would lose everything I had.
I was fifty and realized I had more than I had ever known.
If I have learned anything, I have known so little for most of my life.
I comply, eventually. Is that ever worth anything?
One thing I am sure of:
The fight has always been within.
I have been my most significant opposing force.
What would it be like if I could turn back the pages of my life and erase those fruitless struggles with my greatest adversary?
The question is, however...
Are those battles the ones that taught me the most and gave me the greatest returns?
It is hard to comprehend.
I have always said it is "no way but the hard way."
