Do you remember that first grey hair?
Your immediate response was to pull it out and then the next few days there were two but not in the same spot. Ok!!
Let me say up front that grey hair is beautiful.
Beautiful on some and on others not so much.
It's a choice.
My focus today is about that choice.
As you approach the impending birthdays and some of them more epic than others, you will find a time to see what or where your life has gone.
Maybe you make plans on moving forward.
Maybe you make plans on just getting thru the day.
Or maybe no plans at all.
A choice!
When we were young!!!!!
The brilliant marketing of retirement at 65 always rearing its sales pitch.
Retirement years.
Seriously you cant buy into that completely.
It is like you have set the deadline for having a chance to rest or stop.
Or a chance to travel.
That miraculously it would be magic and the house would be paid off.
Or your children, if you decided to have them might see you more often.
A great happy story that does not always follow the lines that were written for it.
Thank god it didn't!!
That magic word retirement could mean a new beginning. (Aha)
A new hobby or if you have lived long enough to finally do what you want to do.
You have announced to the world I am going to .... !!! I cant wait to ..... !!!
Your time here was already set in motion when you were born.
We all hear our own clock.
Some people say I will live a long time because they have heard it since they were a child.
There are others that pull the doom and gloom line, "Everyone in our family dies young". ETC....
Even though you hear that inner voice shouting this and that of age and retirement and of just stopping.
Stop!!!!
You can change the direction.
Its a choice.
A very freeing thing I established a long time ago is I will never retire.
I will retire when I pass into the next dimension. This decision along pulls the stress off what if I don't live happily ever after at 65.
What if I don't want to stop having fun?
What if I don't want to age like everyone else has told you were going to age.
What if you throw out that script and get out a new pen and a new fresh piece of paper and you start with
"I choose life".
"I choose to look as good as I can".
"I choose to take care of myself".
"I choose to eat better and watch my weight".
"I choose to work out more at the gym".
And the choice of all choice. "I choose to be happy"
If you tell the universe or God or Allah or whatever you believe in that you want a different ending in your life then you will start to get just that.
But, the huge caveat is you have to own it. You have to believe in it!!
You have to stay with that request!!! The universe is changing the lane in your life because you said so and you are getting off the highway and going to a new place.
It can be as big as you want or whatever you want. There are no wrong answers here. The only answer is your answer. That is all that matters.
If you thought this was going tp be about beauty tips, OK.
I will give you a couple.
First!! Water lots and lots of water.
Our body is mainly water. You have to seal that water in if you want to keep your skin soft or firm. The water is always evaporating out of your skin.
If you don't keep adding more I can assure you will start to look like a dried, very dry flower arrangement.
Some or pretty but some are ghastly!! Ewww
To seal that water.
Sesame oil and moisturizer. There are tons on the market.
Try them all.
You will find one you like.
You will find one that make you feel good. Go with that one. My point. Moisturize! Drink more water! Repeat!
And the big one. No more fast food!!
Life is about moderation. If you slip up one night because you just have to have those fries. Fine!
But not every night.
Not every week.
Moderation.
I do all the things I did when I was young.
Dance!!
Sing!!
Have Sex!! etc..... Oh come on. Sex is like food. You have to eat!! You have to have sex!!! Its your god given right.
It's natural like passing gas.
If you haven't been down that road for awhile. Then first take at a look at yourself in the mirror. "Ask yourself, Would you date you?"
Then make changes.
Be young again.
What do you have to lose?
Your life maybe!!
Choose to live. Its a wonderful thing, "Life". Your energy is always wanting more.
Its a choice!! Its your choice.
Live-Live-Live
Wanna Dance?
