All my life I was taught that that a birthday was a sign that one was \u201cgetting older.\u201d\u00a0 Getting older eventually meant more aches and pains.\u00a0 Getting older meant hip and knee replacements.\u00a0 Getting older meant retirement.\u00a0 Getting older meant \u201cfalling apart\u201d and eventually death.\u00a0 This type of thinking has been drilled into the human race with one purpose:\u00a0 To convince you it\u2019s too late and get you to miss out on your finest hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is it that when wine gets older, it\u2019s considered better and as a result is more expensive?\u00a0 The same is true with cheese, steak, beer, and cigars.\u00a0 Why is it that coins, certain cars, and furniture become more valuable with age?\u00a0 Yet, we humans consider ourselves less valuable as we age.\u00a0 The aged lament, \u201cIf only I were younger.\u201d\u00a0 Let me tell you the truth, WE\u2019VE BEEN BRAINWASHED!\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do not consider I am getting older.\u00a0 I am getting more valuable!\u00a0 I have years of life lessons, knowledge, wisdom, and experience that money cannot buy\u2014and is unique to me.\u00a0 Speaking of unique, you and I are one of a kind.\u00a0 In the world, one of a kind items are priceless!\u00a0 Therefore, as your age advances and because you are unique, you too are priceless.\u00a0 There is no one like you and what you possess is extremely valuable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you know that in the Hebrew language there is no word for retirement?\u00a0 In the Bible no one retired!\u00a0 They lived a full life and died.\u00a0 Moses didn\u2019t really get started until he was 80!\u00a0 He lived to be 120 and was full of strength and his eyesight did not dim.\u00a0 The modern concept of age is false and of the devil would like to deceive you into taking the most valuable time in your life and flush it down the toilet!\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am currently 63 years of age and I am just getting started.\u00a0 Retirement?\u00a0 Forget it!\u00a0 I am not slowing down, I am getting fired-up!\u00a0 I have a lot to give and do and I plan to do just that.\u00a0 I like the saying, \u201cI\u2019m not retiring, I\u2019m refiring.\u201d\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t be cheated out of the best days of your life by taking it easy.\u00a0 That is a sure-fire way to end up in an early grave.\u00a0 You have a reason to live long and prosper.\u00a0 Discover that reason and get busy to make your advancement in age the best time of your life. \u00a0Don\u2019t waste all that wisdom and experience you have.\u00a0 The younger generation needs us now more than ever.\u00a0 They need our wisdom, our understanding, our voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To be our best as we age to perfection we need to take care of our bodies.\u00a0 The modern way of eating is taking its toll on our bodies.\u00a0 We are too quick to go to doctors and get medication that only makes us worse in the long run.\u00a0 If we are going to live long and prosper, we need to take care of our bodies by eating well and exercising.\u00a0 I personally have been overweight for years and did not eat well.\u00a0 I decided I must change, not only for my sake, but the sake of the others I am assigned to help on their life journey.\u00a0 Recently I lost 40 pounds (8 inches) and started an exercise regime.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because I want my long life to be a healthy one.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want to be filled with medication that offers an existence, but not a productive life.\u00a0 I am on track to lose 60 more pounds (or 8 more inches) and am feeling great.\u00a0 I would challenge you that if you are overweight and not eating well, take some time to study nutrition and its power to heal.\u00a0 I tell people that we are a sack of dirt made up of minerals.\u00a0 I believe that most ailments can be cured with proper nutrition\u2026not drugs.\u00a0 Most diseases are imbalances in minerals.\u00a0 Drugs mask symptoms and do not offer a true cure\u2026nutrition does.\u00a0 Let food be your medicine.\u00a0 There is no excuse because the internet is loaded with great information regarding certain sicknesses and diseases and how to cure them naturally. \u00a0\u00a0The most important thing you can do to get into shape is to abandon sugar and carbohydrates as much as possible.\u00a0 All the carbs you need can be received from vegetables.\u00a0 Good fat and protein and essential to a healthy body, not carbs. The problem in the American diet is not fat as much as it is sugar, carbs, and process foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are unique, and your age is a virtue, not a curse.\u00a0 Your value increases<\/em> with age.\u00a0 Take care of yourself.\u00a0 Invest in yourself by ever-learning.\u00a0 Learning new things to enrich your spirit and soul.\u00a0 Take care of your body for it is designed to serve you well and for a long time, if properly nurtured.\u00a0 Above all, serve others with the valuable wisdom and knowledge you possess.\u00a0 This is how you will produce a legacy that will benefit future generations.\u00a0 You are not getting older, you are getting better!\u00a0 You are priceless!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This type of thinking has been drilled into the human race with one purpose:\u00a0 To convince you it\u2019s too late and get you to miss out on your finest hour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16329,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sendoutyourroots.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16328"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sendoutyourroots.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sendoutyourroots.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sendoutyourroots.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sendoutyourroots.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sendoutyourroots.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sendoutyourroots.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sendoutyourroots.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sendoutyourroots.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sendoutyourroots.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
