Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul…
We are human beings, not human doings. From what I have experienced, you die from giving up who you are as a person. You die when you give yourself up and become what someone else wants you to be. I am divorced. In the process of re-establishing my life as a single person, I realized that I gave up alot. I gave up on things that gave me pleasure before I was married, then forgot about. It was places I used to go, things I used to do that I have slowly brought back into my life. So, if you want to die before you;re ready, then give up who you are.
Thanks for sharing this – I am glad you managed to restore what is important to you. I had almost the same thing… with my work. Still in the process of restoring…
