There are many things that happen to us on our THPL journey. We get stronger, smarter, happier, more fulfilled, and so much more. It seems that as we continue on the journey something else very interesting happens. We stop thinking about our age. The traditional counting of years seems less important. And when we make this mental shift how old we feel—our subjective age—can actually influence how we age. Where age is concerned, the pages torn off a calendar do not tell the whole story. What feels more important is what are our goals, what improvements we have made, what impact we can have, how we feel about our contribution to our community. This “magic” is available to everyone equally as it is a mindset that drives a set of behavioral changes that affect how we live and feel. Let’s grab hold of it – it is up to us…..there is not time to wait.
