The best way to defeat the numbing ambivalence of middle age is to surprise yourself – by pulling off some cartwheel of thought or action never even imagined at a younger age…Gail Sheehy.
Indeed, getting older may seem like a curse to some. Yet others, such as quoted above, see it as a new opportunity. A chance to take a chance – experience something new.
Of course, every day we are above ground is a day to do something meaningful, different, and possibly frightening. New experiences are always available, and great things could be just around the corner.
What does it take to embrace your age as a silly number and go for the new and the bold? How do you take considerable action and make significant changes in your life? Well, as the late, great George Washington put it:
From thinking proceeds speaking; thence to acting is often a single step. But how irrevocable and tremendous!
