What is one major difference you notice as an adult as opposed to a child?

I notice in my 30s that all the things I want require long term investment. The three things I work on are, physical fitness, career, and a morally acceptable life. I figure if I achieve that, all the other things will come, like marriage, friends, parties, vacations, love, hobbies, social events, tasty food etc…

That people can be very complicated. When I was a child, I only thought there were good guys, and bad guys. But now I noticed it isn't that simple.

As an adult, one major difference is the awareness and acceptance of delayed gratification. In childhood, immediate rewards often take precedence, while in adulthood, you recognize the need for long-term planning and persistence. This realization aligns with your focus on investing in physical fitness, career, and ethical living, which ultimately supports achieving personal fulfillment and meaningful connections.
