The desire and effort to stay young have engulfed the minds of our generation. Despite our inherent desire to stay young and remain relevant in life, most of us will fail because we are on the wrong path.
Staying forever young is not an illusion; it is achievable and many people are already living it.
Staying young and relevant in life does not come with cosmetic and surgical enhancements. It does not also come with holding on to power or authority in life.
For us to achieve the rapidly spreading desire of staying young and relevant, we must first be able to ascertain what makes us ‘feel’ old.
We do not grow old by living a certain number of years on earth. We rather grow when we stop achieving new things and stop filling those years of existence with new substance and value.
Many of us feel extremely old and irrelevant in life because we spend all our time repeating the same thing. We spend a great deal of time confirming again and again what we already know. We are living our full life by simply performing the same task and achieving the same or like results.
What do you think will happen if you watch a movie everyday for the number of years you have lived? You will get bored and the satisfaction you will derive from the movie will fall down the slope each time you watch it. Above all, it will not be new (will be older) each time you watch it.
The above sounds like a waste of someone’s precious time to you if indeed he has to do that…right?
Don’t forget you are this ‘someone’ as you are living your life exactly the same. This is why you feel so old, irrelevant and do not find life exciting.
To stay young and relevant in life, you must gear your effort and strength towards learning, discovering, understanding and experiencing new things-what you do not yet know. This is the only way you can remain young, fresh and have exciting life even as the clock of years continues to tick.
Life is full of uncovered wisdom, knowledge and experience. Do not kill your existence by quickly becoming old. There are millions of new things to challenge yourself with, chase and achieve in life.
If for some reasons you think you know or have it all, then you must be doing a great harm to your own existence. What happened to the unending new stones to build new and better things? What happened to all the new opportunities out there waiting to be grabbed?
Life is beautiful, life is exciting and you can forever remain young and relevant in this beautiful life by continually building upon your knowledge and beliefs. Question your assumptions and challenge your achievements with new goals.
Do not be enslaved by your achievements and beliefs, liberate your mind and existence by chasing and building new opportunities as well as new set of untainted beliefs. This is the only way you can remain young and relevant in life.
Stop recycling your achievements and glory.
