Image sourced from http://www.flickr.com Aging is a natural and a wonderful part of life. It signifies the time that you've spent on this planet and it is symbolic of your treasured years throughout your life. Something that comes to our attention is the emphasis that society places on people - marketing directed to 'look younger' or to give off the impression that being younger than older or older than younger is desired.
Every age has its new opportunities of growth and experience in life. In fact, every year is a treasure year, a golden year. Sure there may be the years where there are certain ups and downs in your life, however, keep in mind that no one particular age is better than the other just because someone else says so.

Finding humour and joking about 'old age' is something we find questionable - what is so peculiar about someone aging? It is just as natural as someone breathing. Perhaps there is an underlying fear of becoming older? Aging is a part of growing up. Rather than trying to run from it, go with the flow and know that as you age, you grow wiser, more beautiful, and more in touch with yourself and others than ever before!
More and more products are marketed to remove wrinkles, to remove grey hairs, to restore vitality - sure it's a nice thing to look after yourself, but be sure to remember that you are not looking outside of yourself or rejecting yourself because of marketing aimed to create that effect. Age is timeless, and you really only are as old as you feel. It can be looked at both ways - children wanting to grow up fast so they can take on new responsibilties, and people in their older years, their 40s, 50s, and 60s, wishing they were 20 and 30 again.
Many people comment on my appearance and automatically assume that I am in my late teenage years/early twenties. Recently I got asked what my secret for this was. My reply was simply - "Nourish your body, mind, and soul. Life isn't about worrying about what number is clocked up against your name. Enjoy every moment, day, week, month, year, decade, and lifetime as your treasure moments!"
Life is not about worrying or stressing, so let go of the need for these things to run your life and create tension.

There's more to it than simply wishing to be a different age. Acting your age isn't about you being what someone else expects you to be by the time you reach a certain number of your life. It is different for everyone. Honour and respect that, for we all have our aspects of son, father, and sage, just as we have our aspects of maiden, mother, and crone to work through and embrace. Accept yourselves for all that you are and all that you have, knowing that every moment of your life is precious and desirable, for you yourself have chosen this in one way or another. Your life is a blessing! Claim it as yours and live it to the fullest.
Life, like any relationship, is not about you counting your years, but it is about you making you years count!
Blessings and love,
