The older you get the more you have to say goodbye to the things you used to do.
The high dive doesn’t seem worth it. Skiing at high speeds seems foolish and your days of cave diving seem like a distant memory.
It isn’t just the physical capabilities but also your hopes, dreams, and aspirations can begin to fade. (This is also why become more rigid with age.)
However, what we used to do doesn’t determine what we can be.
We can focus on what opportunities we have now instead of dwelling on how things used to be.
While the future is uncertain, the past is determined.
People can evolve, we can morph, and we can change.
