First experience is always memorable. And it goes with me too. It is the first time today, that I have been called as "uncle" by the kids during my evening walk on the village street. It was quite a strange feeling listening to that word and being referred as "Uncle" for the first time. uncle here It is not like my nephew or neice calling me uncle as in a relation, but I have been referred by other village kids whom I am not related. When we refer anyone as "uncle" It simply means, an aged person quite older than us. I have grown white beard, my hairs is turning white, but never observed any shrinking or wrinkles in my skin. May be that makes the kids to call me uncle. It is very fascinating, how time flies so fast, till few years ago, I used to call people whosoever, older than me as uncle and now today, I am standing in the same zone being called as "uncle". The thought of catching up with the age does shook me for a while. It approaches quite fast, or may be I am unable to keep a track of the ageing process. We all get older with passage of time. It is the fact of life that we grow older it is the natural process and nobody will neglect that.
In a society that worships beauty and vitality, it is little wonder that we are all get panic on knowing that we are ageing fast. I have seen people panicking and started to adopt to anti-ageing methods and technique to protect them from being aged faster. The problem with all of this is, well, we age. It is a fact of life and it will happen whether you fight it or just allow it. It is better we accept it gracefully. Getting older is the best thing that can happen to us. It is a chance to learn new things, appreciate life even more and see our relations grow with people.
The mere thought of ageing give us an image of the wrinkled skin, white hair, poor eyesight coupled with slow body movement. People get scared just imagining that situation. But there is the phase in life where we will be standing on the ageing threshold of getting older faster. The age bracket, where we are neither young nor too old. For many the threshold reaches faster as they never care about it in the run up for the better life. The phase approach too faster than expected.
Age is just a number
As we grow older, it's important to remember that life can still be meaningful and fulfilling. I believe that grateful and positive aging is all about the mindset, which is true of so many things that affect our attitudes.
One way to ensure this is by staying connected with friends and family, and making new connections with others in the community. I believe, it is all.in our mindset. The more we thing negative, the more wet similar vibes. If we keep on praising every situation and tackle them as we usually, does, it bring in positive results.
If we cultivate a mindset where we grow older with a grateful heart, living each day to its fullest in our natural bodies and our natural skin, then I believe we stand a chance of drowning out the negative messages put out intof the society that getting older is something to be ashamed of.
We should be happy that we still get to watch the sunset and feel the warm embrace of those we love and are still a living breathing part of our wonderful universe. People age faster, once they get scared of their age numbers. But in contrast, we should accept it with open arms and welcome the new phase in life.
