Our mind is evolving with our experiences and age. We learn how to deal and cope. Some challenges we face still cause stress and fear, but the way we pass through them, and the way we deal with the outcome, no matter what it is, that’s the gift of getting older.
It means, maybe, that the more we actively experience and learn when we are young, then it pays off later when older.
On some areas, our weaknesses or fears, or what we consider as such, only grow with age. That’s exactly the opposite of the first paragraph. Why is that so? were those fears too deep, did we avoid dealing with them when younger?
Some adults keep adding more challenges and stress as they grow, sometimes life does it for them without a choice. I think a good goal would be to channel our life to moderate to no addition of challenges, at least as a wish.
And our body? that’s the part that keeps our feet grounded, You can grow, cope, achieve. At the same time our body demands more, able to less, our skin gets old, our health requires more maintenance. Maybe that’s the world way to show you can’t have it all, and where one area grows the other one goes back. We must accept it, because there’s no other way.
The best way, I think, is not to fight, not try to become younger because we can’t. Some people try, but it useless. Embrace it. Eat better, sleep, workout. Rest. And embrace the amazing mind growth we earn from our life experiences. It’s the mind and energy growing. The matter, is just matter.
