Occasionally I read a post that is so worthwhile that I am driven to share it. I did that today. It's at Soul Seeds and is entitled Why We Should Embrace Our Age by Loretta Laroche. No matter what your age, I recommend you read it. If you are my age, I strongly recommend that your read it.
I gleaned a lot from Ms. Laroche's words, not the least of which is the learnings she has had as she has aged:
• making each day feel like a new beginning
• reinventing yourself on some level so that you don’t become your own “Groundhog Day”
• spend time in community with others
• become more involved in the pursuit of altruism
• find the bless in the mess
• laugh as often as possible
• keep a positive outlook: “if you think the worst and get the worst, you suffer twice; if you think the best and get the worst, you only suffer once.”
I'll let you glean more as you read the article!
That last point about a positive outlook resonates with me. I try to keep myself on a positive track for that very reason. Besides, I believe what we put out is largely what we get back.
