The key to aging is to anticipate, then plan

What will life be like 10, 20, 30, 40, even 50 years from now?

Do the things today that will solve for the normal and predictable aging issues.

How i define my aging limitations

 

If asked, “When is a person considered old?”, what would you say?

How i define my aging limitations…

The only limitations i have are those i impose upon myself.

To serve, to strive, and not to yield.

How much time do we have?

The photo and today’s blog topic seem mismatched. Kinda like the way we begin our day – thinking about death or thinking about life. Check the deaths or check the births?

 

How much time do we have?

A 93-year old just placed the newspaper back on the pile and i asked, “So what’s new since yesterday?”

She said, “I just skimmed it, I only read the deaths.”

Wow.

What a profound moment.

Begs the question, “Why was that the priority?”

For me, is it finally carving out time to write those (seven) Disney books i said i would write?

How do we live a lifetime with meaningful purpose?

When will we know when it’s time to let go? Specifically, for every human being, is there ever a time in life when we can let go of the life-sustaining power of a having meaningful purpose in our life?

Spending the last five days of 2015 living in a senior housing facility with an almost 93-year old with daily visits to the adjoining nursing home to visit an almost 90-year old.

They have nearly 40 years more experience than me. They know things i may never know.

How can i tap into this in a positive way?

What if my questions cause them to think about regret rather than joy?
