The problem is not your body but your mind

The thought of growing older is never appealing. Not only do we feel bad over the physical changes that take place, but with every passing year we look back and wonder what could have been. What could we have achieved if only we started getting serious about life when we were younger? What great things could we have done if only we had a good “start?”

What so many people do not understand is that age is just a number. Life is life and if you are alive you have the potential to achieve anything you set your mind to. You have time to accomplish things. You have the wisdom that comes from a lifetime of experience. You have friends, contacts and a world of knowledge that would take a younger person a lifetime to learn.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you are too old to start making changes in life or that you are too old to change the world! If you have definite goals and a burning desire to achieve them then you have precisely what it takes to fulfill a dream. That is true whether you are 18 or 81!

  3. My Mother-in-Law just turned 94 and celebrated by going square dancing! She also goes to the gym 3 times a week, sings in the church choir, and still goes on the buses to the gambling casinos! She doesn't "live her age", she lives her life! What a role model!
