Let the Calendar count your years; don’t let it count your Curiosity
Yesterday I was attending 80th birthday celebration of my aunt who is a survivor of critical illness. It was amazing and inspiring to notice her enthusiasm, lively inner spirit and cheerfulness.
Being young has less to do with the number of candles on your birthday cake and more to do with how alive you are within.
Sadhguru often speaks of youthfulness as the ability to keep the body and mind alive, active and receptive to life.
You may be 25 and already feel that you have seen it all.
Or you may be 75, 80 or 90 and still look at life with sparkling curiosity, eager to learn something new, experience something different and discover something deeper.
That is youthfulness.
Don’t let the age turn into a collection of conclusions or decide what tomorrow can be based on past experience.
Perhaps growing older should mean becoming wiser not becoming rigid. Keep your body active, mind inquisitive, heart open, learning, wondering and growing.
Because aging happens to the body. Becoming old within is a choice.
After all, the real question is not:
“**How old are you?**”
It is:
“**How alive are you?**”
