Old...never.

   

I have decided a while back that I refuse to get old. I have decided to reject it consciously. The numbers of our birthdays weigh us down by a little each year, as we are told by society that we are getting older. Age is simply a number- a fraction of time as we know it, just cycles around the sun. Time is just an illusion anyway, as now science tells us-so why don`t we accept it?

So why allow it to influence us? It is all a story we allow ourselves to believe and we do. In actuality, we, ourselves create old age by accepting what society is dictating to us, not how we actually feel. Thus, we start disengaging more and more from life, as this belief becomes more entrenched within our psyche and becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. One becomes disinterested in the present, or future and stays anchored in the old habits, old beliefs of the past. We start focusing on all the negatives we are told that accompanies the passing of the years, instead of focusing on all the positives that accompany the wisdom one acquires.

There is a fountain of youth within us-that is our mind, especially our imaginations which is empowered by a “creator” energy. We are endowed with this, which is a form of grace, a power source that drives life and each cell of our body. It is the actual driving force of all life-not just human life. Our talents, our creativity, our thinking, our interests, our well being spring forth from this place. It flows into our life and into the lives of people we love, this is the elixir of longevity. It is the fountain head of health, happiness, peace and joy. When we tap into this source, we will truly have defeated age.

Thus- I hope that we all shall tap into this magic. The belief that it is possible is the first step. Second is to cultivate it-never cease being interested in new things, new ideas, new ventures. Third is to live it-we have to practice everything to make it happen. And just -”do it” whatever makes you feel happy and brings you joy. Forget the rules, forget society, forget the illusion of old age. You are as old as you feel. Think and thus I AM...thus we are!
