Aging Gracefully: The Next Chapter
-This is 38
-As the years pass by I may appear older on the exterior but in the interior I feel younger. I guess you could say that I age like a bottle of fine wine.
-Tastier, wiser, yet, curious and foolishly dancing my way through life like a child.
-What I've learned is that there is no right or wrong way to live life, just be in each and every moment, enjoy the experiences no matter how good or bad. Embrace change and do not be afraid to chase your dreams.
-Life, it moves by quickly, so worrying, fearing the unknown or what you can't control will only hold you back. Take that leap, blindly take the far-warned path, flow with the tides, go the way you want with no regrets and live the life you desire.
-The opinions of others are useful but don't live by someone else's beliefs or way of being. They're not you and never will be. Never feel belittled by or overshadowed by someone’s high profile status, "professional" background, accolades, or certificates, pieces of paper, titles and roles do not define a person, only their actions do. Be the better person without the use of titles, pieces of paper or words, only your actions. Sometimes the best actions will go unrecognized, that is ok, because the universe knows and has a way of returning positive intentions back to you.
-Be you, live true to your heart and soul for those are the authentic guides, light, teachers, and answers to all you wish to be and see. Listen to your heart for it will take you there, where ever your there may be.
-Patience is key, love for all living beings and entities and seeing the beauty in all is medicine for the heart, mind and soul. Feed them with positive energy and blossom into someone real, beautiful, true and original.
-For those who fear getting old, fuck that, embrace each year with open arms and take the time to reflect on the passing years, think about those who came into your life in the past, and those currently in your life, there is reason for their existence in your life.
-Time is circular and know that although when it seems time flies and there is no more time to do this or that or say what you wish but don't, well, now is the time to tell someone you care about them, love them or appreciate them, now is the time to live your dreams and do what you desire. Dive into this new year and write the next chapter of your life. Make it a good one.
-Here's to 37 and cheers to 38.
