The secrets of Old age.
To all retired friends………….
Time is like a river, you cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life.
For those that are already 60- Start Practicing
For those almost who are almost 60- Get ready.
For those whom 60 are a long way off- help your parents do it.
For those over 60 years old- Focus on enjoying in or accumulating material things.
Secrets of life in 6 words.
Before Middle age- Do not fear
After Middle age – Do not regret
Enjoy your life – while you can.
Do not wait till you cannot ever walk just to be sorry and to regret. As long as it is physically possible, visit you wish to visit. When there is an opportunity, get together with older classmates, old colleagues and old friends. The gathering is not just about eating; it’s just that there is not mush time left.
Money kept in the in the banks may not be really yours. Focus on enjoying people, not on indulging or accumulating material thing. Where it is time to spend, just spend, treat yourself well as you’re getting old! Plan to spend whatever you have saved. You deserve to enjoy it and the few healthy years you have left. Travel if you can afford it. Don’t leave anything for your children or loved ones to quarrel about. By leaving something, you may even cause more trouble when you are gone.
Whatever you feel like eating, just eat. It is most important to be happy!
1. Foods which are good for health- eat often and more but that is not everything.
2. Things which are not for health- eat less once a while but do not abstain from them totally.
Treat sickness with optimism, whether you are poor or rich. Everyone has to go through birth, aging, sickness and death. There is no exception. That’s life ! Do not be worried of worries, when you are sick. Settle all the outstanding issues before hand and you will be able to leave without regret !
Accept physical weakness, sickness and other physical pains. It is a part of the aging process. Enjoy whatever your health can allow.
Let the Doctor handle your body.
Let God/ Nature handle your life.
But be in-charge of your own moods !
If worries can cure you sickness, then go ahead and worry !
If worries can prolong your life, then go ahead and worry !
If worries can exchange for happiness, then go ahead and worry !
Remember our kids will make their own fortune. Enjoy your grandchildren (if any) but don’t be their full time babe sitter. You have no moral obligation to take care of them. Don’t have any guilt about refusing to baby sit any one’s kids, including your own grand kids. Your parental obligation is to your children. After you have raised them into responsible adults, your duties of childrearing and babysitting are finished. Let your children raise their off spring.
Look after for old treasure
1. Your body- Pay more attention to health, you can only rely on yourself in this.
2. Retirement Funds- Money that you have earned, it is best to keep them yourself.
3. Your old Companion- Treasure every moment with your other half, one of you will leave first !
4. Your Old friends- Seize every opportunity to meet up with your friends; such opportunity will become rare as time goes by.
Live in the here and now, not in the yesterday and tomorrow. It is only today that you can handle. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may not even happen.
Enjoy who you are and what you have right now. Stop working hard for what you do not have, it’s probably too late.
Enjoy your life with your spouse, children, grandchildren and friends, people, who truly love you, love you for yourself, not for what you have. Anyone who loves you for what you have will just give you misery. And you’d probably know that by now.
Forgiven and accept forgiveness. Forgive yourself and others, enjoy peace of mind and peace of soul. Not trying to be morbid, but befriend death, it’s a natural part of life cycle. Don’t be afraid of it. Death is the beginning of a new and better life. So, prepare yourself not for death but for a new life with the ALMIGHTY God.
Go to places of worship and have a close relationship with God, for he is the only one, who can take care of you when you die.
Also remember that Running water does not flow back, so is life. Therefore you must do everyday SMILE and LAUGH.
