Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals- Samuel Ullman

Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals- Samuel Ullman

I really like this quote today. It reminds us to continue to approach everything with a child-like enthusiasm. One reference work defined ideals as "values that one actively pursues as goals". So in effect, when we desert our ideals or values, we desert our goals and that is a sure-fire way to start feeling old. We may feel old and be old physically but mentally we can as youthful and energetic as ever so long as we focus on our ideals and goals-which by the way, will keep us active and fit!

So, kick off those feelings of oldness today and make yourself young again!

Have a great day-
