Two women aged 7o both walk in the ultrasound room to be examined, one after the other.
I didn't know their age beforehand. The first woman I would have guessed 50, moved around and seemed upbeat, I was very surprised to see at the end of the examination that she was 70.
The next patient comes in moving with great difficulty and generally moaning and sighing about life. She complained about her mental wellbeing and looked very old and broken. The doctor asked her how old she is and she answered the following way: : "Oh, I am very old. I am 70."
You give your own significance to the number you have to live with. It's 7o in both cases, but if asked, the first patient would surely not have answered the same way, thinking that 70 = very old.
Health problems can strike at any age, but there's no need walking around believing that old age automatically means helplessness. Nothing automatically means anything, nothing is written in stone for us beforehand. But whatever we believe in, we will make our reality, whether it's true or not, it will be true for us.... so check in and ask yourself why you believe what you believe.
