How many stages of life

As the width of our purposefull desire narrows we may  question many things. The answers can come from many directions.  Which one to choose. Are the answers spot on by mistake or do they have the value of knowledge.  In what manner do we trust such a wide pool of offerings.  Are we worth the risk and how far will we fall in failure. At what time in life is it to difficult to climb back up. Do we pick our battles or still go full force and hope the right stuff sticks. Being at the top at some point has to be more than it's worth and it's not giving up when it's time to pass the torch. Digging deep for the realization of our needed choice is being brave in and of itself. In stepping down is always a form of stepping up when the attention of loved ones is always in the balance. Go from boardrooms to pacifiers for the grandkids.
