One hard lesson that I learned in the recent years as part of maturing process is to accept that “I HAD the moment and move on”. In other words, accept your moment of doing certain things has passed and moved onto the next stage of life. Lingering on will only cause disappointment and frustration. There are different things to experience in the next phase of life that can be equally interesting and exciting if not more. It is part of life’s nature. We should embrace and go with it.
For example, the things that I considered I HAD the moment and moved on.
1) I don’t eat as much as I want to anymore. My metabolism has slowed down and I need to moderate my diet if I want to keep my weight (and waist for that matter).
2) I don’t burn the midnight oil anymore. My general energy level has gradually dropped. It will affect my general health adversely more than before if I do so.
3) I don’t sunbath at the beach anymore. Enough sun damage done already :<
