I've been thinking about this lately.
In some ways, we are the product of the choices we made. But the choices we made in the past gives us the resources that we have to work with now.
It is generally harder for an adult to learn new things than for a child. Neuroplasticity just goes down with age.
I sometimes wish I had focused intently on getting good at a few things as a child, instead of just dabbling in a bunch of things. I also wish music has a bigger part of my life growing up.
But now, as an adult, I am a professional dabbler. I aim to make the best of that.
Also, I have been needing an amazing amount of sleep, and this has lasted for a long time...at least a year. I sleep on average half the day. Usually 10 hours during the weekdays, and 14 to 19 hours on Saturdays and Sundays. There are some health issues that could be the cause of this, but I don't want to go into detail here.
So somehow, I have to make the best of my waking hours. I am still figuring out how to do that.
Of course, I could work a lot to change my patterns (especially the sleep thing). That is another option.
So, what about you guys? What are the limitations that you have run into? What do you plan to do about them?
