There comes a point in any mans life when he comes to realize that,...the bad days are now going to outnumber the good, time is limited,...all the things you wished and hoped for in your 20's aren't going to happen,....everyone and everything in your life is going to get old and sick....

Nope....positive attitude is one of the keys to health and happiness in my opinion....I let very little actually bother me these days and really appreciate the things I have

Life is a gift, enjoy every day to it's fullest. Think about all the things you should be thankful for, and take for granted... works for me.

exactly...i simply dont worry about things that i cant change

and if there are things that bother me that I can change I just make the change...either way no reason to worry about shit....change shit or accept shit, but I dont stress about shit...

No, I'm 39 now. I do feel it more when I don't get 8 hours of sleep (used to live on 5-6 and feel great). I eat well and still exercise everyday. Sucks getting older it really does and not looking forward to getting older but live each day like it's your last. Some of my friends who are my age act like they are dead and look like they are 60.

Not me, but check back in 20 years and maybe I will have a different opinion

Easy for you to say,…I've taken a lot of hits, bad beats, bad decisions, bad relationships,…money's almost gone, health questionable,…no real trade other than gambling, which hasn't been too kind to me in recent years...

Thought I could make it as a pro gambler, HA what a mistake

Yep , life is wearing me down. I think it first started around 35 , then when i hit 40 i realized i was never going to feel 34 again , then when i hit 45 i realized its even worse than 40 , and now i'm 50 and its worse than 45.

...but i do smoke and drink , so i guess its to be expected.

I'm just the opposite on sleep. When i was younger i had to have a full 8 hours or you couldn't drag me out of bed in the mornings , but now i only need 6 and i'm good to go. (but i do take a 45 min power nap everyday)

Guess I picked the wrong day to give up crack.

Where's that sharp knife?

Life is tough, it wears everyone down eventually. We do need to try to be positive and see the good in life, but that only works when you believe there is a higher purpose for your life. I would encourage you to look deeply and figure out why it is that you are here. For me, I see a merciful God that welcomes fuck-ups like myself. I look forward to death with anticipation because I have hope. And I somehow believe that there is a reason why I'm here now. Life is not fair, and there is no explaining the things that do not make sense. But the disappointments force you to a place where self is not enough.

Yeah it does... in my late 20's I've come to realize people are usually fake and meant to disappoint you. I trust no one entirely. I realize life is not fair and the good and noble don't always reap their harvest, and usually to make it, you gotta step on a few toes and bend the rules a lot. We have been raised to believe all that nonsense that there is justice and that we must live by it when in reality, we die for the lack of it.

No reason to kill yourself either... keep struggling by making mid efforts or really take a risk worth going down for if it could change your life. But whatever you do, be in good terms with that decision and don't complain later.

Powerful posts by the Zit-man and Illini.

And, by the way Illini, guess the "political correctness police" will be coming for you about you pic there soon! LOL

You should probably talk to someone. Someone who does not post on a gambling/sports forum.



And just to cheer you up, whenever I am feeling a little down, I tell myself that it could be worse. I could be a mod on a freaking gambling forum....haha......I think I'd shoot myself.

Hey pocket,

I am past crabby. Need a break. It is killing me seeing posters finally land on a major sports (baseball), and then just throw a ton of shit on the wall and see what sticks. In this case seven picks a day! (Lucky seven) Would have to be lucky..... who over the age of 4 thinks you can come out ahead spit-balling seven plays a day?
