Aging has nothing to do with youthfulness! Youthfulness is in the mind of the beholder, or rather in the mind of the individual! You are as young as your mind feels or says you are... or as old as your body might be trying to convince your mind to be... or vice' versa.
Reality be told, our bodies age. Our minds do not necessarily age. Our minds go through a maturing process and takes in the scope of our emotions combined with the intellect. Maturity has no one measuring stick for everyone and everyone does not mature at the same pace. What may seem mature in a person might really be so- yet that person may be unbalanced in some other way.
Entering the workforce when we are "old enough", we change through the years and our expectations may change also. Money might mean everything to us... or may not! One thing remains to examine.
Do we retire when society thinks we should? Or do we obey that internal instinct, as to what is right for each one of us? Do our skills begin to fade and to fail? Does the ability to accomplish something with and in our lives diminish? Will we listen to our own thoughts and let our own instincts guide us? Or will we let others dictate how and what we shall do?
No one turns 65 or any other age and is suddenly un-employable. Or done living. Many feel that this IS the case. They are sadly mistaken. Something is broke within and it can be fixed. It can be mended.
Individualism. The strength or lack thereof, in character is the determining factor! Men and women who are strong and able to take a stand at any age on any issue... determine their own use to society. To their own decision to lead a productive, energetic, creative life!
Wow!
21, 35, 50... hike! Pass it down the field... catch it, run with it. The field goal is up to you!
It's my game and I go for a touch-down!
