Live your life and forget your age...
When does it happen? That moment, the minute, the second. That time when we transition from “young”to“old”I’ll let you into a little secret. It doesn’t! It’s all a state of mind, of society’s take on thing’s and of the company you keep!
Surround yourself with positive energy. People that care about you! The one’s that listen and engage in conversation, I mean really listen. Not the ones that nod as their eyes start to cross and wonder in different directions as they’re looking for someone to listen to them talk about their own egotistical selves. You know the one’s, the energy suckers! These people are draining. Avoid them like the plague, because, here they are! The ones, that over the years, will take away your very self, and slowly little by little eat you alive.
The more you’re prepared to take a back seat, the more you'll gradually be seated at the back of the room. Until one day you find you’re the only one in the room.
This is what negativity does. It’s catching. Have you ever gone somewhere, socially maybe, full of beans, really been looking forward to this for a few days, and as you enter the room there they are, the peter pans of society (look at me! listen to me) you try to join in, share a little of what you’ve been doing, a new trip you're planning maybe. Losing battle! energy suckers only talk about themselves and what they’re doing. Avoid ! By the time you leave for home you’re feeling totally deflated. A little more of yourself chipped away.
EVERYWHERE YOU GO, MAKE SURE YOU SMILE. HAPPINESS IS CONTAGIOUS, SPREAD IT AROUND…
SMILE AND THE WORLD SMILES WITH YOU.
This is why I cant stress enough, stay away from negativity and negative people who’s main conversation consists of me myself and I. You’ll only come away feeling you have nothing to contribute, when in fact all you have done is surround yourself with negative vibes, which flow around anyone within reach. Look out for the happy smiling people. Even writing this I can feel the positivity flowing my way. positive company energizes me, I feel strong and confident and full of life. I find that for me, this is the key to happiness. Positivity is like an source you can feed off, as is, unfortunately negativity. Do you see my point?
It took me a long time to realize that it wasn’t me, I wasn’t boring, or getting “too old” blaming myself for the knot in my stomach, and eventually associating these negative emotions with my age, thinking it was because I was an “old” woman! AND THAT! Is when you start to go down the negative spiral that people call old age! Well guess what? they’re wrong, to age is a natural process of the body, it may slowly change you phicically, BUT! and I stress, WE, do not! We grow wiser, we understand life more, we are compationate because we’ve probably been there before, we have loved, we have been loved. How on earth can any of this be seen as anything but inspiring. Get out there, share what you have to give. Spread your energy. Feel only pitty for the “me, myself and I people” because eventually they will need people like you in their lives.
