You SHOULD want more

It's a common theme as you get older.  The thoughts that what you've done up to this point hasn't been enough.
"I'm 30 and I still haven't..." 
"I'm 40 and I can't believe I didn't know this before..."
"I'll be 50 before I accomplish this goal..."
"Why didn't I know, do, achieve, get "this" so many years ago?"
I was having these thoughts recently and BAM!  something wonderful occurred to me!  I should want more.  I look forward to still learning when I'm 45, 50, 60, 65, 77... whatever age I am, I hope to still want more.  Why haven't I already done it?  Because I haven't.  Will I accomplish it?  Well, we'll just see, won't we?
And what if I DON'T accomplish "IT"??  What then?  NOW, I'm older and still in the same place... or am I?  I mean...Really?  Whatever it is - starting your own business, getting in shape, getting married, getting divorced, working on your relationship(s)...if you don't accomplish exactly what you set out to, take a look at what you did do by just trying.

I look forward to, every year, striving for more.  Trying for better... not settling, not accepting the thought that "I'm too old now" or "It's too late"...Yeah, I like that...Life is good...How old am I?  hehe...
