Choose your Age

I love this idea and mental shift. Choose your age. As a motivational speaker I get to be a motivational speaker each time I speak.
“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?” – Satchel Page
How old are you today, my friend? Would you like to be younger? You can be!
That’s right. You can choose your age. The following quotes contain the clues to avoid the aging process. “The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.”
– Madeleine L’Engle
Because you don’t lose all the ages you have been, you can pick which one you desire to be. Your past experience serves as a guide for that age. You remember what you thought,
how you felt, the music you loved, etc.
“You can judge your age by the amount of pain
you feel when you come in contact with a new idea.”
– Pearl Buck
To avoid aging, consider this Pearl Buck quote. How excited are we to consider new ideas? How much pain do we feel when someone presents a new point of view? How open arwe to a new concept or paradigm? To remain young, let’s strive to keep our minds flexible, even if our bodies are not.
Here is another clue to choosing our age. The secret lies in our choice to love. Loving deeply is the equivalent of the Fountain of Youth. I have often wondered why the elderly seem to wither and die after they are removed from their families and friends and sent to nursing homes. This quote
explains it. Love keeps us young, and loving deeply keeps us even younger. We all know an 80-year-old youngster, and a 40-year-old senior. How old do you choose to be?
