------------
I received a teaching in my late teens that said we can all have the enthusiasm of youth and the wisdom of age if we turn within to listen.
I have always valued that teaching whenever anyone announces that they are “getting old”.
I find that it continues to give me fresh and innovative ideas regardless of my “age”, and that I really don’t have much in common with people who are stuck in a particular time of life.
On the other hand, I find myself in the company of sparkling conversationalists of many ages who are very engaged in the services they are performing.
They are outward thinking and acting individuals.
Many of them have developed or are developing products which they feel are valuable.
Indeed, they are adding to their own value by listening for the best ideas to put into practice.
With that kind of mental activity and the awareness of the needs and ways to fulfill hose needs, they are helping advance society.
Looking for what excites us and gives us ways to serve is a never aging process.
Listening for the wisdom to carry out the ideas connects us at the right time and places.
