So I was driving the other day and thinking about aging. When we are young, we don't often think about it unless we see someone that's older and reflect upon ourselves. I come from a Cuban background myself and I know that when you are Cuban and old, it's not a good thing. I remember when I was young, elders told me not to get old because it's not good (as if I could've done something about it). I also remember how they say how terrible it is to get old.
I used to think that way because that's the way I was programmed, and if you know me, I always talk about subconscious programming. (Maybe because I am a hypnotist) but anyway, now I think that getting older can be a great experience. I believe that it's a chance to show off our wisdom and strength (if we prepare ourselves when we are younger). And when I say prepare, I don't mean like you are preparing for a hurricane, it's more of a mental preparation.
I have suggestions on what to do, but first I'd like to hear from you. What's your idea of getting old and after getting some feedback, I'll tell you about my idea to make getting older a smoother transition. Can't wait to read what you have to say. |
