Life as is known is not one stretch of living. Life is divided in phases and periods. One phase doesn't last forever and only leads to the next one. How well an individual maximize a stage may determine how well the next stage might be. These are the stages of life.
1. The Stage Of Fun.(Birth to about 29 years)
This is the period from childbirth to about the end of youth. This period is divided into childhood, teenage, and young adulthood. This is called the age of fun because the approach to life is always weak. Most times in this period, individuals live a life of freedom and may lack resposibility.
Decisions in this stage are made mainly without regard of the consequences. Actions are carried out without thinking of the outcomes or implications of the actions to family and society. Because of all these weak approaches to life, individuals may lack little or no power of deep reasoning. It is also important to note that lifelong mentalities and philosophies are usually formed at this stage. Also, careers are usually determined at this stage and talents and gifts are also discovered.
2. The Stage of Reason.(About 30-59 years)
This stage encompasses adulthood. At this stage, youthful exuberance would usually had worn away and the realities of life has set in. This is usually a time when individuals get married, start working and also raise children. There is usually a high sense of responsibility to family, society, work, and religion and the effects of decisions are considered before making and implementing them.
This is the stage when men usually achieve or don't achieve the dreams or goals they set during the age of fun. At this stage, old habits(usually bad habits) are dropped and replaced by new ones(usually good ones). Dreams, aspirations and goals are still vigorously pursued at this stage, and making or having more money is usually the top priority of individuals. In the stage of reason, individuals usually regret the mistakes they may have made in the stage of fun, and may wish there is opportunity to go back and live it right.
3. The Age of Reflection.(60 years till death)
This stage is more of reminiscing about the past than looking forward into the future. This is the time when most individuals retire from working and the power and strength to work has greatly diminished. The approach to life is usually balanced and loneliness and boredom are usually the biggest nightmares of this stage. Individuals reflect on the lives they had lived from birth to that time, drawing strength only from good memories.
At this stage, individuals usually talk more about their lives and want to know more about what is going on locally and globally. Also, individuals tend to think that this stage should be used to heal old wounds, forgive people who had offended them and seek for forgiveness from people they had offended in preparation for death.
Whatever stage of life you are, I hope I am close to the truth in describing it. If you have enjoyed this post, please share. Thanks.
