4) Handling Decisions

As we age, we understand the difficulties life tends to throw at us. We learn to endure hardships , and overcome obstacles. Gradually, the hard-earned benefits of hindsight start to add up. We see where we went wrong earlier in our lives, allowing our past mistakes to inform our current situations. We can assess the pros and cons of complex choices on the basis of our past experiences, rather than having to guess about the implications of taking one path rather than another.
