Ask people what it's like to be getting older and they will give you the standard gloomy "Aging is so hard, full of aches and pains." There's a lot of truth to that, of course. But I've got good news! Turns out that the last quarter of life can be every bit as dynamic and full of potential as the first 3 quarters, and in some ways even more so! Aging is not the problem. Decaying is! And the fact of the matter is, it is optional. Sadly, decay has become the standard for the majority of people over 70. But some of us are determined to rewrite the rule book!
Believe it or not, even at 73 I am able to regain an amazing amount of the playfulness, coordination, balance, and fitness I had when I was in my 40s. The energy that comes with a fit body can be a powerful thing as you navigate the final years of your life. Friend, may the Lord give you the drive, the energy, and the sense of purpose to live your life on your terms for decades to come!
P.S. Today I lifted at the gym and then got in my steps for the day.
Some of us will live well into our 90s. How we live those years is largely under our control!
