Making The Right Move At The Right Time

(For full text with comments please click on the title)

In life there is something call stage of life. If you miss something in life and you do not do it right that is all. There is no turning back. I myself have missed lots of steps in life and hoped that I have made the right thing at the right time.

Life is simple but sometimes it is just out of our control because we made a mistake and did not take the right action. I have seen sons and daughters who disobey and fight with their parents. If you sit down and understand the situation. The cause is the parents. If you see a young lad sending his parents to old folks home, chances are he will be in the old folks home too.

We need to take the right action at the right time. As the case above the parents will not be able to educate the children again if they miss the chance. Things that are passed are out. That’s make the difference of an educated child and vice versa.

As humans step in the teenage life and young adult there is too lots of things that you need to make right. Too early or too late does have consequences. We need to act and grow according to our mental growth. There is no return if you reach the stage of self realization to fast which I have and I do hope I was like other people who can enjoy their life much better at that time. Sometimes thinking too much is not good. You may be wiser but you won’t be doing the right thing or won’t be enjoying your life.

Party? Have children? Switch jobs? What is the right time? Do not make things too fast or too slow. Then the question: “When is the right time?” I wish I can tell you that cause the right time to do the right thing might differs. I do have a rough outline which I created and hope it can somewhat provide some guideline based on personal opinions other view are always accepted if it make sense. The table will be updated accordingly.

The stage of maturation. The thinking starts to settle down. Some even reach the stage of self actualization. Some of the attributes or characteristics that needs attention:

  • Self-control - restraint, emotional control.

Settled down in terms of their sense of identity and place in the world, be raising a family, and have established career. Mid-life crisis. The process of Individuation. Some characteristics of mid life are:

  • search of an undefined dream or goal
  • desire to achieve a feeling of youthfulness
  • acquiring of unusual or expensive items such as clothing, muscle, cars, jewelery, gadgets, etc.
  • paying extra special attention to physical appearance
  • need to spend more time alone or with certain peers

Change the crisis by better understanding of your own selves. Religion may help at this stage. Just ask yourself what do you want in life and make do with it with the time you have.

51>

(Senior citizen)

Nearing the average lifespan of human being. Retirement. Enjoy life at its best. Death is getting nearer and it is a fact.


Enjoy life while you can as you will never know the date you are leaving. Appreciate the people around you. Tell them you love them and tell them thank you for being around cause sometimes it might be the last time you are able to tell them. I still wonder why so many people like to walk over dead bodies to achieve success. You will be one dead body too sooner or later, why harm people?
