It's hard to grow old in America. We are a youth not wisdom loving culture. So, it's important to keep a positive anti-aging attitude about aging and the best way to do that is to re-evaluate at what age you think old begins.
Are You Old at 50, 60 or 100?
Fifty isn't old compared with 100 and although you may never reach that three digit age, it can certainly change your prospective about what it means to be old.
While exercise, healthy eating and getting a high dosage of anti-aging nutrients are important, the best anti-aging weapon is always going to be your attitude.
When Old Age Really Begins
- When you stop laughing especially at yourself
- When you stop learning
- When you lose your burning passion
- When you stop caring about your appearance
- When you stop making plans
- When you stop caring about love and sex
- When you stop seeing the good in others
- When you give up on yourself and life
- When you stop doing things just for the fun of it
- When you consider yourself old
We start aging at the moment of conception. Aging is a journey with each stage a new sight to enjoy. While stopping the aging process is only possible by dying, the real trick is to keep living every day you are here.
The best part about having more years, is that 1. you lived that long and 2. you had untold experiences that made you stronger and wiser.
Be inspired by other wise masters in filmmaker Andrew Zuckerman's book Wisdom: The Greatest Gift One Generation Can Give To Another.
You'll learn how valuable your wisdom is and discover that you have much to give to younger generations. Zuckerman asked seven questions to 50, over age 65, famous writers, actors, artists, designers, politicians, musicians and religious and business leaders. Their responses may just inspire you to feel truly young in spirit.
