Karl's Blog: You're As Old as You Feel

How old do you feel today?

No matter how old you are chronologically, how old do you actually feel right now?

Hopefully, you are feeling younger than your years and truly alive.

Ideally, it would be good to be young in body, ancient in mind and timeless in spirit.

With each passing year, there is the danger that we take on board the West's general view of ageing ... that we start to degenerate, that we become slower, weaker, tired and ineffective.

There is a danger that we start thinking, saying and believing things such as ... 'it must be my age'; 'I'm not as quick, supple, strong or energetic as I used to be' and so on.

We become old before our time simply because we think it!

Yet, throughout the world and particularly in the Far East, there are many examples of people in their 80s and beyond leading very full, meaningful and active lives.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: ' It is not length of life, but depth of life.'

So true!

You see, age is just a number.

When we choose to live a life that is active in mind, body and spirit, we remain youthful right up until the time we are ready to pass on.

So, let go of those limiting thoughts about age.

It's never too late.

What really matters is the life in your years!

Enjoy your day!
