May be a repeat but always a good reminder...!!
Many people feel unhappy, health wise and security wise after 60 years of age
owing to the diminishing importance given to them and their opinions. But,
it need not be so if only we understand the basic principles of life and follow
them scrupulously.
Here are ten mantras to age gracefully, make life after retirement pleasant,
enjoy and treasure the elder years of wisdom and intelligence at its best.
1. Never say 'I am aged': There are three ages, chronological, biological, and psychological.
The first is calculated based on our date of birth; the second is determined by
the health conditions and the third is how old you feel you are. While we
don't have control over the first, we can take care of our health with good
diet, exercise and a cheerful attitude. A positive attitude and optimistic
thinking can reverse the third age.
2. Health is wealth:
If you really love your kids and kin, taking care of yourself and your
health should be your priority. Thus, you will not be a burden to them. Have
an annual health check-up and take the prescribed medicines regularly.
Take out a health care insurance coverage.
3. Money is important:
Money is essential for meeting the basic necessities of life, keeping good
health and earning family respect and security. Don't spend beyond your
means even for your children. You have lived for them through out and it is
time you enjoyed a harmonious life with your spouse. If your children are
grateful they should take care of you. But never take it for granted.
4. Relaxation and recreation:
The most relaxing and recreating forces are healthy and religious attitudes,
good sleep, music and laughter. Have faith in God, learn to sleep well,
love good music, and see the fun side of life.
5. Time is precious:
It is almost like holding a horse's reins. When they are in your hands,
you can control them. Imagine that every day you are born again. Yesterday is
a paid cheque. Tomorrow is a promissory note. Today is ready cash —
use it profitably. Live this moment.
6. Change is the only permanent thing:
We should accept change — it is inevitable. The only way to make sense
out of change is to join the dance. Change has brought about many pleasant
things. We should be happy that our children are blessed.
7. Enlightened selfishness:
All of us are basically selfish. Whatever we do, we expect something in
return. We should definitely be grateful to those who stood by us. But, our
focus should be on the internal satisfaction and happiness we derive by doing
good to others, without expecting anything in return.
8. Forget and forgive:
Don't be bothered too much about others' mistakes. We are not spiritual
enough to show our other cheek when we are slapped on one cheek. But, for
the sake of our own health and happiness, let us forgive and forget them.
Otherwise, we will only be increasing our BP.
9. Everything has a reason; a purpose:
Take life as it comes. Accept yourself as you are and also accept others
for what they are. Everybody is unique and right in their own ways.
10. Overcome the fear of death:
We all know that one day we have to leave this world. Still we are afraid
of death. We think that our spouse and children will be unable to withstand
our loss. But, the truth is that no one is going to die for you; they may be
depressed for some time. Time heals everything and they will carry on.
NOBODY GETS OUT OF THIS WORLD ALIVE!
