Start by leaving your past behind you
Recently I shared an insight about my love for writing and how it helps me to grow myself and others.
I’m 54 years old and still with a life ahead of me. Growing is part of me every single day. A day without learning is a day not lived.
I realize I won’t have as much time anymore as I had when I was twenty, but if you think about it days, there’s still a lot that can be done.
Unfortunately, the world is not teaching us as much.
We’re reminded daily that we’re getting older, not just by ourselves and our bodies, but by the messages we’re faced with.
(Younger) people are stating that we’re old. Friends who have a hard time finding a job because they’re considered old (and therefore expensive).
Commercials point us at our flaws because of our age.
When living in the US, the most advertised products during the commercial breaks of golf tournaments were pills for erectile dysfunction.
I was late thirty or early forty back then, loved watching Tiger play golf, and didn’t consider myself part of the target group.
