AGING IS A SERIOUS MATTER

in maturity •  7 years ago  (edited)

In my 30 years of existence I had the opportunity to meet, make friends and build strong connections to people of all ages. Back in the days when I was between 20-25, I made sure to enjoy those years in almost everything (parties, travels, adventures, name it we have done almost all possible ways to enjoy life). I wanted to keep it that way as years pass by, but after reaching my age now, I’m having such realizations and emotional struggles in dealing with previous activities I used to enjoy which I think is an effect of AGING! 😂🙃😉💪🏻

Before, I would always tell my friends (age 30years and above), WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE, WHAT IS WITH THE SUDDEN SLOWDOWN, WHY AND A LOT OF WHYs!. Now I guess, life will make you understand many things as it brings you to your own circumstances that will change your mindset and do nothing but have a paradigm shift.

Maturity has its own pace and it varies to every person. I perfectly know now the very reason why I am working, why I wanted to achieve more, why do I do sacrifices to earn a living and I seriously feel the weight of all the responsibilities at hand. No matter how tired I am after work, I can’t even think of partying and even the thought of sitting in a bar is out of my context of distressing and relaxation. From a highly social driven life to a more intimate one with selected people you wanted to share table with, talking about the future, goals, plans and ways to improve self worth.

A cup of coffee ALONE or with friends in a place with good ambiance, the one closer to nature gives me a soothing feeling to end or start each day. I started getting active in different community and religious organizations. And more time being spent on family events and gatherings warms my heart! This is the new me, change by life’s circumstances, motivated to give life a better meaning!

I would love to think really that age is not just a number, aging is not at all a dreadful thing to consider but rather AGING IS A SERIOUS MATTER that we all can still enjoy while appreciating our very essence of existence! MAKE A
DIFFERENCE!

Nicely put. Life is about making choices, setting priorities. I'm glad you're inviting people to think about their values in life, what they prioritize, as it's the only way towards happiness.

Thank you for appreciating it! I hope it will positively impact many lives and may each one of us be an inspiration towards achieving a happy and succesful life ahead of us!

Thanks for appreciating it! Steemit is really something! Been receiving a lot of good vibes since I officially started here!

hahha may age just one year older 😂 at this point the future is more important now and investment is the number one priority😊

Indeed! 😉

Good thoughts.

Thanks jerome!

well sabi nga
" age is just a number young is an attitude"

but for me as long as you are happy doing what u love to do then go for it, let us not be a jerk dont limit your capability of doing bcoz you should act base on your age, who cares as long as your happy doing the right thing then go for it, life is too short so feel young wild and free. 😂😂😂

Agree! That’s why maturity depends in our own pacing as well which should not demand you by the way to act ur age, ENJOY yes!... but as I always tell my friends, ENJOY RESPOSIBLY... nice to hear ur thoughts! 💪🏻😉

Welcome to steemit po! Masaya po dito, mag eenjoy pa kayo, kumikita pa po kayo 😃
God bless and more power po!
Steemit is a beautiful community!

Thank u! It just took me a while to get started due to the waiting period to get my account be appeoved... it is a beautiful community indeed as shared by @arrliin

So many changes. Really and true!
Especially when it comes to point of view about responsibilities. I never thought that it was something that could also boost your personality. I hope parents would show more trust in their children and give them responsibilities more often, part of their training.
My way of dealing with financial issues also changed. I used to live, work and spend my time and money on going out with friends. Now, its more of saving up for retirement and getting out of debts. Things in my life changed when I stepped into my late 20's and entered my 30's.
This year 2018, I hope we all rise up gracefully, peacefully, with a lot of gratitude and reach success in our goals in life.

Thank you for sharing ur thoughts!... but remember to still ENJOY the process... 😉 ...another key is to “do not deprive yourself” from things that can make u happy... just know ur limits

i won't deprive myself. i'll remember that. thanks po!
by the way, i have you and princess to thank because if i never got to meet you, i wouldn't think retirement savings was something really important to think about.
love lots!

We sell concept with advocacy... thank u for allowing us to share with u our thoughts... keep inspiring people as well!

Aging gracefully and maturely, knowing what really matters and working for long-term goals and lifetime happiness. Living the moment but as the same time living responsibly. Godbless po!

Agree! Thank u for sharing your thoughts... God Bless!
