Age is much more than just a number. It is a badge of honor that I wear with pride. I am well into adulthood and have attained a successful career, a beautiful home, and built a wonderful family. Best of all, I answer only to myself. I call the shots in my life!
Each wrinkle and fine line that appears on my face, I wear with delight. Wrinkles and lines are a sign of wisdom and endurance. Why would I want to hide features with such beautiful meaning?
I age with grace. I have hope for the future and look forward to many more moments of maxing out each minute I spend on this grand Earth.
I wake up each morning with just one goal in mind: to enjoy the precious gift of life.
My spouse is my fruit of life: my partner, best friend, and my fountain of youth. The laughs we share in one afternoon can reverse a decade worth of birthdays.
I look back at how I worked my way to success and can blissfully enjoy the fruits of my labor. My years allow me to achieve a level of happiness that I could only imagine when I was younger.
Today, I admire the person that I have become. I fought a long battle to get to this stage of my life. It would be a shame to undermine my hard work in pursuit of “looking young.”
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Why am I uncomfortable with aging? Is it the physical or emotional aspect that scares me?
2. What can I do to maximize the joy I get out of each day?
3. Have I achieved the goals I had throughout my youth?
