Growing Older....The Right Way...

Growing older can be exciting, adventurous, fun, scary, and sometimes depressing!!! However, that being said aging is a natural process of life. Sadly, many of us live as though we will never get old.

And... when old age hits us we are usually unprepared.

As you know, aging is simply The natural order being reversed. Even though we think we do everything we can to hold on to our youth, trust me getting older is inevitable.

So why not age gracefully, happily, joyously and simply LIVE!!!

When you and I confront this reality and the sooner you and I confront this reality we can then began a healthy relationship to life, getting older and even death.

Don't invision yourself sitting in a rocking chair, peeking out of a window, remembering what was and what use to be. Age should never be treated as a disease but as a cure, a joyous cure of no longer being young.

Growing older is a joyful priviledge and honor!!!

So, use the wisdom that you have gained over the years to be a better you. Stop being concerned  about wha others think of you!!! take life by the horn and dictate the destiny God has issued to you before you were ever conceived...... And.... Live!!!

Rebuke thise so call aches and pains that hits you because of aging. Listen, according the The Word of God Moses lived to be an Hundred and twenty [120} years old. The Word of God also states that the countenence was Moses was not changed, meaning that he still looked young, and he was healthy and agile.

So, the question I ask is why do we let ourselves go, waste away, collapse, degenerate?

Because we grow old does not mean that we should let our bodies go to waste.

STILL LOOK YOUR BEST .... STILL BE THE BEST ... STILL SEEK THE BEST...

FREE YOUR MIND OF I'M OLD, NO... YOU ARE MUCH BETTER!!!!

BELIEVE THE WORDS I AM SPEAKING!!!!

You don't need to fight to stay young, you don't need to fight from growing older ... But you need need to fight to be the best you can be and to take the inevitable, which is growing older -- by The horn and lead it to aid you in becoming a better man or woman and not let it lead you on a downward spiral.

 Here is something many have issues with  that growing older in wisdon can cure

When you are young you get worked up about what people think about you. The good thing about getting older is that you realize what people think doesn't matter. it is what you think of yourself that matters most!!!

There is so much more we can talk about when it comes to growing older. So make your growing older fun, exciting and enjoyable.

Understand, as we get older we don't have to compete with the younger crowd, we don't need to force ourselves in  their world. Because when you grow old the right way if the younger crowd will love having us around.


Just be who you are,  and venture out when you please and grow older The Right Way!!!

Bottom line, take care of yourself and grow older gracefully....

Walk the Talk...






 http://www.doyouwalkthetalk.com/

Just click the above link, then click the go to link when it appears...


                                                              There was an incident that happened on my job that required credibility. I chose the truth over friendship. As a result my upper management awarded me with the link you see above.

After all was sad and done, the friend I was prepared to lose came back and apologized for putting me in that position. Our friendship remained and My credibility was kept in tact.

I was proud of myself for making the correct choice of choosing truth over a lie, even to the tune of loosing a friend and proud of my friend for having the guts to ask my forgiveness, which I gladly gave.

Yes, my friend was fired, but our friendship remain!!!

Recently I was awarded The Silver Award and yes it contained a monetary value. The same manager that presented me with the link above congradulated me on The Silver Award and reminded me of this link that he sent to me more the two years ago. And yes I forgot above it. But the amazing thing was that, he remembered and sent it to me again.

Credibility, Honesty, Fair play, Trust will take you a very long way. And, even when you forget, others will remember because the words I mentioned above are Powerful, penetrating words that will last ... even  if you forget and when you are gone...

Choose truth over a lie!!!


Nothing more need to be said!!!


These are my thoughts.... I welcome yours!!!

The weight of life.....


This may be a little difficult so stay with me. How much does your life weigh? Imagine for a second that you are carrying a backpack. I want you to pack all the stuff that you have in your life.


Now you start with the little things, shelves, drawers and knick knacks. Then you start to add larger stuff. Clothes, table top appliances, lamps, T.V, etc. Your back-pack should be getting a little heavy now.

Then you go bigger. Your couch, car, your home. Stuff it all into that back-pack.
Now fill it with people. Starting with casual acquaintances, friends of friends, folks around the office.

Then you move with people that you trust with your most intimate secrets. Your brothers , Your sisters, children, parents and finally your husband, your wife, your home, boy-friend and your girl-friend.

Get them into that back-pack. Feel the weight of that bag. These things weigh us down until we can barely move. Make no mistake; your relationships are the heaviest components in your life.

All of those negotiations, arguments and secrets, compromising. How much to they weigh?

Listen .... The slower we move the faster we die. Make no mistake, moving is living. Some animals are meant to carry each other to live symbiotically over a life-time. Star-cross lovers, monogamous Swans.

We are not Swans. A swan can move as slow as they like and live. A Shark, if it moves slowly, will die. It is important that Sharks move in order to channel water through its gils to allow it to breath. Therefore we are Sharks. How do I know? Because we are constantly moving trying to accomplish this & that.

We think if we sit still something will pass us by. Because we take little time to share ourselves with those who loves us and whom we love.

We are busy with the rat race of this world's life, its economics, its politics, etc. But even Sharks will take a moment to glide and enjoy the moment. Why don't you?

Therefore, how much does your life actually weighs? Do you honestly know?

Listen, when it is all over here, when your love ones are looking at you for the last time; and if God allows you the time to reminisce over your life, what will be more important? your worldly accomplishments, the money you accumulated, your home, cars you've purchased?  Relationships??????

What? ... What? ...What?.....

What kind of legacy do you intend to leave behind. These are good thoughts to ponder ... these are good questions to answer.....

I stated this in a precious blog:
Every man must live with the decisions he make in this life.  And you have two choices ...  -To exercise the spirit of a boy or The wisdom of a man. 

The same applies to women.  ... You too have two choices ... To exercise the spirit of a girl or The wisdom of a woman.



These are good thoughts ....And good questions to answer... What do you think?

Be Yourself.......

.

How does it feel when life doesn't feel real and you're floating about on your own? You life is uncertain so you draw the curtain pretending there is nobody home.

But don't be arise, open your eyes - they can't tell lies, so don't you disguise what you see, the mirror is free.

I sometimes strip naked just as I came into the world and look at myself in the mirror -- directly eye to eye. I sometime ask the question:

Lord, are you pleased with me, are you grieved with me. I want an honest report as to how you see me?  The one person you can never lie to is God. This I know. But you can lie to others, including yourself.

Why do we lie? Why do we seek an image that is not true? Why do we hide who we really are? What is the real reason?

Remember we do have a Saviour, Even though, by our behaivor He was killed and they thought He was gone; song birds are talking and The runners are walking and The Prodigal son is coming home.

When he does come home, look in his eyes, they won't tell lies, but if he defies what you see, he will give you the key.

Always Be yourself .......

We need choosers, so we build computers and we program ourselves not to see; The truth and the lying, the dead and the dying a silent majority.

But ..... don't be arise, look in their eyes, are they telling lies - The ones that they learn on T.V?

What a way to be free......

When you begin to see the skin you are in --- then you will know that you are the only one of its kind. So if I cease to be myself ... then who is going to be me?


Listen, we have The Grace og God to run this race....


See yourself .... Be yourself .... Free yourself ....

I getting old and I need to have a Heart of Gold .... Therefore I choose to Be myself!!!!

You strive for the same.......


Lastly... When you and I walk in the shoes that God has given us from birth and when you look at yourselve in the mirror, we may be amazed at what we see: Hint...
