This post is fourth one in the series of "excusitis : a mind deadening disease and its cures". In the last posts we learnt about excusitis and its various forms. We knew the cures of health and intelligence excusitis in my last two posts. In this post we will discuss the third form of excusitis that is age excusitis and its cures.
Age Excusitis And Its Forms:
Age excusitis is the disease where people think that they are not in the right age to do things or take risks. This comes in two major forms : either people say "They are too young" or "They have grown older to do anything".
We hear hundreds of people complaining that they have lived the mediocre life due to their age factor, either they were too young or too old. They can't do what they want to because of their age handicap.
Plays and magazines like "Why You Are Washed Up At 40" are quite popular not because of they realize people the true facts but because of people find excuses in them to support their life situations.
Ways To Cure Age Excusitis:
Years in one's life don't matter to that extent where their mind feels it. We are only that much , we feel ourselves old. Too young or too old are just mind's illusion to trap us and live the life in a comfort and secured zone.
A person is full matured by the age of 20 and also completes the basic education of his life. His productivity begins at 20 and if the person is in well shape and enjoys what he is doing, his productive years will last upto 70 years. So there are whole 50 years in a person's life to live their dreams and achieve what they want.
Suppose if a person starts at the age of 40, he stills has 60% of his productive years remaning. Even the 10% is enough to do something big in life and it is 60%.
Let us take an example to understand it in a much better way.
A lady who wanted to be a dancer since her childhood but could not due to various reasons. She is now forty years and now everything is fine with her, she can start learning dance now and become professional in two or three years because the more passionate you are about something, results will come very soon. The problem with her is that she thinks she is too old now for that. In two years she will be 42 and much older than now.
But she can alter her thinking in this way that she will be 42 after two years for sure but if she starts learning now she would be 42 as a dancer and it will create a lot difference in her life. Time passes with each breath but it is upto us how we manage it and harness our true powers.
We only grow older in years not in mind and body if we keep on feeling alive and youthful everyday. Why some people at the age of 60 become ministers, start their own company and many more things? World is full of these examples. The only thing matters in these things is our attitude towards life.
