Becoming more serious about life as I get older

I’m getting older.  I say this a lot, but what do I mean by it?  I do not have the urge to listen to loud obnoxious music, except at certain times.  I no longer like to drink very often—hardly at all actually.  I do not even really like to drink period.  I do not like the loss of control that alcohol does to my body.  I do not like the way it makes me feel to a certain a extent.  Not the loss of control, but rather the loss of intelligence.  I take life a lot more serious now because I feel that I know who I am and where I’m seeking to go in life.  I am becoming more direct with people and insist they are with me too.  I’m growing up to the point where others who are not grown up annoy me.  I’ve done a good job at minimizing this, though, realizing that everyone, no matter who they are, has a valuable influence on me, and can help me through certain situations.  This I learned from the teachings of Og Mandino.  I love everyone I meet because they are of value to me and I am of value to them.
