Don't program yourself to break down as you age with thoughts that decline is inevitable. Time may be passing for our bodies, but because they house our ageless souls, we never need to see ourselves as old and infirm.

We can't avoid age. However, we can avoid some aging. Continue to do things. Be active. Life is fantastic in the way it adjusts to demands; if you use your muscles and mind, they stay there much longer.
You can free yourself from aging by reinterpreting your body and by grasping the link between belief and biology.
The real problem is that there's a tendency to associate ageing with loss and decline and things that aren't desirable. But experiencing all that there is to experience in life - whether that's at the age of ten or thirty or fifty or eighty - is what life is all about.
You'll find as you grow older that you weren't born such a great while ago after all. The time shortens up.
I don't feel old or used up, and I don't have time to waste thinking about aging, because I live only for my cause.
I think you have to relax about aging. What else can you do?
There's nothing wrong with making the best of one's declining years, but what does annoy me is the fatalism. Now that we're seriously in range of finding therapies that actually work against ageing, this apathy, of course, becomes an enormous part of the problem.
'Aging' has been bad ever since we figured out it led to dying.
These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in ageing. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism.
Ageing is inevitable, and the idea that we can be eternally youthful is the pitfall of our society.
