Mental acuity and age

I have noticed something extraordinary about getting older:  I’m actually smarter. The stuff I tried to learn when I was younger makes sense now when before just seemed utterly incomprehensible. All the lessons, advice, and constructive criticism seems more reasonable and actually useful.
This could be experience that I have gained through hard times. When I didn’t do something right, I suffered the consequences. It had taken years to learn, but I’m glad I finally have. It is empowering.
Internet marketing also has become more understandable. I guess I know what I am looking for in an online business. I also know what I want to focus on and what sites to send all my credits.
Promoting myself now makes sense. Using standard affiliate sites might not get my ad noticed as well as a personalized splash or capture page. I am quite sold on getting a good one developed.
It had taken many stops and starts, but I think I am now on my way on this journey of personal development. With a perspective gained only through time and experience, I believe I can see this journey through to achievement.
