I have noticed a few lines in my face and a few grey hairs that won't seem to change colors..I cried to my husband last week will I always have this animalistic personality? I am emotional..and so darn passionate..passionate when I talk..passionate when I walk..I seem to be on amission to make every moment count.
At 46 something is different in the way that I think..the way that I feel and the way I handle my life..its a realization that right now my dreams are coming true...if I notice it...if I chase it...it will be in my hands..having happiness..and an understanding of life...Do yourself a favor...
and consider These Few Pearls Of Wisdom.. On Aging Gracefully
- You can't always get what you want-Teach your children early on rather than spoil them so the grown up world will not kill them... or destroy them. so they will do more than survive in this world and let them florish and have made the job of parenting worth every struggle that you went through.
- To stop and smell the roses-Really appreciate what you have and notice it and take time to experience it..that moment..you will never get back..the clock always ticks and we continue to move forward. Time moves the same..but in a sense time moves faster..when you start to realize your time on the planet is very limited...you start to think of mortality....morality...and humanity..and you start to ponder..What have I done to make a difference in this planet. There is a sense of urgency that comes with it and I believe the urgency is why time seems to move faster as you get older.
- I think back when I was in my twenties...I wish I had more guts..I wish I wasn't so shy..and I wish that I was smarter. Yes I held myself back...out of fear..out of self conciences and lack of confidence. Funny how things change as you get older...you become smarter..and wiser...with life experience..you know..it really doesn't matter what others think..you need to be happy the remainder of your life...because the reality is you only have one shot at it..whose life do you want to live?
- You can't change people-That's right one of the hardest lessons I have had to learn. Resistance is a huge force in why people do not succeed...if you really do not want to change something..often times we cannot convince ourselves let alone someone else..how the heck do you think you can convince someone to change. They have to want to change..they have to acknowledge they have a problem for the need to change and in truth they have to view it as a problem and find a solution then make the decision in order to successfully make a change. It's a lot of work especially for the resistant.
- No one ever promised you a rose garden-That's right-who said you would never experience heartache or drug abuse or death maybe have trouble with bills or your marriage would be perfect. Who wrote that story..that's right..its a story and nothing more. Nothing is ever perfect..in life.. Challenges makes us stronger..makes us appreciate the good things..without the challenges or the bad things..how would we measure the good things, think about it really?
