REJUVENATE or STAGNATE!
Simply Said: "What does not kill me makes me stronger!" Nietzsche
"Don't go around saying the world owes you. The world owes you nothing. It was here first!" Mark Twain...
"Chop your OWN wood, and it will warm you TWICE!" Henry Ford
"Wouldn't it be great if people could get to live suddenly as often as they die suddenly?" Katherine Hepburn.
So much of life is ATTITUDE & how we view what we see:
You can't help getting older but you CAN help getting OLD.
Tips from one who is in "selective" denial....me.
(1) See the Winter of our "Life's Book" as a wonderful ending....as an Exclamation Point of a life lived according to Value, Character, Compassion and Faith.
(2) Be smart about medicine but do NOT let it "identify" you as a person.
(3) Spend as little time in a Doctor's Office or around Negative people as you safely can.
(4) If you don't see BEAUTY around you...please look again
(5) Look back only to refresh lessons learned..DO NOT WALLOW THERE!
(6) Appreciation and attention are Universal Needs! Make the people around you feel GLAD they know you!
(7) Love someone MORE than life itself.
(8) You are Daily writing a "song of life". Don't depress people...uplift them with your "song".
(9) Getting older is just "modifying" your '57 Chevy!(see below) as you go. You are a CLASSIC..show others younger
how it goes by example.
