What Do You Not Fear About Getting Older? – Vol. 528 – Dec. 19, 2019
I answered this question on Quora back on December 26, 2018 – and it has received 64.5K views (I am writing this post on October 9, 2019) and 840 upvotes – so I figured that it would be a good idea to share it with my readers.
I have worked in elder care for a very long time – well, in and out of it. And, I can tell you that the reason people get aged is that they hold much resentment, have too many regrets, eat crap, don’t get out in the sunshine, don’t move their bodies, and blame the world for their problems.
The elders that I worked with who had great attitudes were those who were still interested in the world around them. Many overcame many challenges – as immigrants not knowing the language with no money starting over again during their teens in a brand new country, or elders who came from very poor families who had fulfilled lives because they focused on what they wanted and made it happen.
SO, there is no fear of getting older if you take care of your mind, body, and soul. If you involve yourself in activities that you enjoy and fulfill you and have loving relationships – that can be with great friends as well as family members. If you don’t get along with a family member, that’s fine so long as you haven’t any resentment over it. – because resentment kills – creates all types of disease of the body and mind.
I am 57 years old (at the time of the writing), and though I am certainly looking a bit different in the mirror, I can honestly tell you that I have so many things that I still want to do with my life, so many interests and live my life doing those things I enjoy. This is what keeps one young at heart and in mind. And, I don’t take myself too seriously anymore. Life is too short and is to be enjoyed!
