Thoughts on Trasitioning Life Stages

You know the quote that says "Life is like a stage, there are entrances and exits." plus, there is a center stage for the best moments.  It rings true especially if one switches from one lifestyle to another lifestyle, whether it be from a relaxed lifestyle to a working lifestyle like school, or it can be something like going from being single to getting married.   What I really discovered is that it's not a matter of when the transitions come, it's a matter of how we handle the transitions.   If we change and become better people with the transitions coming along, we enjoy them a little more, while if we treat a transition like an unexpected transition, it can overwhelm us easily.
