How "Old" are You?

Do you think about "how old" you are? Do people ever ask you "how old" you are? Here is a test you can give yourself: Make a recording of your own voice. Listen to it and try to determine "how old" this strange voice is that you are hearing.

If your voice sounds "old", the indicators may be coming more from an attitude than from your real age. On the other hand, if the voice you hear sounds "young"... Okay, you've got it... that comes from an attitude as well. Whomever invented "getting old" probably had a pretty bad image of themselves at the time.

Albert Einstein said, "I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity."

You are only as old as you feel. And the way you feel is determined by the way you think. If you are feeling "old" it is time for you to determine why you are thinking that way and to find a way to change the input that is the cause. Perhaps you are not nearly as old as you think!

Casy Stengel made clowning around on the baseball diamond commonplace. He said, "The trick is growing up without growing old."
