“Do you know what is responsible for much of the difference between Youth and Age? Just one thing. Youth looks forward always to something better. Age looks backward and sighs over its “lost” youth.”
~ Robert Collier, The Secret of the Ages
Age is always relative, my friend. When you look around you see some people who seem to never age while others age prematurely. Perhaps some of this may be a result of genes but the majority comes down to how you take care of yourself — and with this I don’t mean just physically.
Have you made conscious “lifestyle choices” or have you simply followed the examples set by your parents or peers? What you’ve been experiencing in life is a reflection of the accumulation of years of choices made on a daily basis. Habits rule our lives.
And with life as we’ve known it crumbling around us, you might be tempted to look backwards and focus on what you’ve lost or are losing. But what if what you lose was holding you back from something you’d like even better? Losing it would be the best gift ever.
Life is gifting us all with a fresh start, my friend. Regardless of where you are right now, adopt Youth’s approach and create a vision for your future that you’d love living. Everything starts with a vision. You deserve to live an inspired life.
