The older you get...

I heard a saying once, it goes "The more you learn after you think you know everything, is some of the most invaluable stuff you'll take with you in life." Lets huzz on this for a minute and ill tell you who said it at the end of this post..

This saying is so true if we think about it for a hot second. Go back to our senior year of high school.  Some of us were star athletes, some of us were excellent students, and some of us were confident socialites. Think back about how we felt.  We felt accomplished in our sports, we felt established with our friends, we felt  successful in our academics, we did it! We owned the world! This was it for us, we thought we knew everything.  Our future was set in stone as we signed letters of intents to colleges, accepted scholarships, and enjoyed our carefree summer...

Then freshman year of college started...Felt like a small fish in a big ass pond didn't we? We had to redefine everything! Friends, school, sports, confidence.  What we thought we knew wasn't so much all that important was it? Through the process however, we learned.  We learned about ourselves, we learned what we like, we learned what the true meaning of friendship is, how to be selfless, how to love. And before you know it its senior year in college again.  We feel accomplished, established, successful, we did it! We owned the world and it is ours for the taking...

Then we start our first job... see a pattern here?  At 18, we thought we had everything covered. Then we turned 22.  At 22, we thought we had a firm grasp of how life was suppose to be.  26 came around fast.  At 26, it seemed as though life cant throw us another curve ball. We're now 28. Do we feel like we have everything under control? Probably..... but just wait when we turn 34 and look back. I bet we reflect and realize we were naive at our current age now.

The point is we are always constantly learning at every stage. Anyone who denies this is denying a simple truth in life.

I for one look forward to learning more each year I age.  I like knowing that the person I am becoming doesn't have a ceiling.  I like knowing that there is always something to learn, through different experiences, with different people (no matter the age), and from different circumstances.  Its comforting to know that whatever happens to us, we will always learn...

And I heard this saying from an interview that Tony Romo gave to a reporter... He was asked if he thinks he has the Quarterback position mastered.  He replied with that quote, I think he was talking about life not just football.... 

Will huzzz with you again soon!
