Plot in to the cycle. What season are you?
From gestation until birth is a quiet moment of life. From birth to age 30 is the learning season while age 30 to 45 is the survival and acquisition period. The period 45 to age 65 is the accumulation time for which is the retirement threshold. If life is extended then 65 to age 75 is the distribution or philanthropic age for few who were able to maximize the opportunities that exist in the learning, acquisition, and accumulation seasons of life else it becomes dependency age. From the age 75 is devotion age and more time talking about legacy. Yonder age 80 until death is another quiet period of life. There are few exceptions to this but it is important for you to plot yourself in by your age to know if you are living in your season, faster or a backward outlier.
Many of us allow these seasons overlap then we start living the past in the future. There are many of us who are careless about the stages of life but either we call it theoretical or real, there is the 'age to status' or as it is in the professional world ‘age to grade’ that should happen to man.
Are you acquiring while you should be accumulating or are you accumulating while you should be devoted to ensuring peace and serenity in the world?
