LIVE YOUR LIFE!

LIVE YOUR LIFE!

Live your life and forget your age. Another magical quotation and one that many people need to practice. Ask any older person how old they feel, and I guarantee you they feel and think way younger than their real age. Also, when we get older, we are conditioned to "act our age." By following this advice, unhappiness is the result. Life is short, to constantly act according to what others expect of you is sad. Learn to live in the moment and make the most of every moment. If you want to laugh, if you want to scream, then do it! Live life to the fullest. Live YOUR life, not the life others dictate you must lead.

A PERSPECTIVE ON AGE

A PERSPECTIVE ON AGE

Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many! This is a powerful proverb to start with, so true, but so rarely thought about. Having turned 58 this past year, it's a saying that hits home very powerfully, and yes, maybe it is aimed at the baby boomers and above. But even if you are 25 and reading this, it applies. Whatever your age, consider for a moment the people from your life that are dead today. How many were younger than you? That's when this proverb hits home, when you realise how lucky you are to be the age you are, and healthy. Consider two people in their seventies, one still drives a car and enjoys life, the other has Alzheimer's and needs to be under 24/7 care and supervision. If you are fit and mentally healthy, I suggest you give thanks and smile for every morning you wake up alive and healthy. A perspective on age.
