When you feel your age

when you feel old think about your good experiences (and sometimes the bad) and how they’ve made you the person you are today, and how you can improve your future based on that knowledge

when you feel old know there are people looking to you for advice and to learn from you whether you think they are or not

when you feel old know that you can age gracefully knowing that you are probably where you’re meant to be if you’re following Christ

when you feel old know that so many don’t make it as far as you have. whether in age, or accomplishments or otherwise

when you feel old know that there are people who have always stood by you and always will as long as they’re alive with you

when you feel old think about the happiness of the last year, process any regrets and move on to the next

when you feel old know that there’s always more to learn

when you feel young know that you can continue growing knowing that you are probably where you’re meant to be if you’re following Christ

when you feel young know that life moves fast and you should live everyday with purpose and intention

when you feel young you should cultivate good habits and mindsets and get rid of the bad ones

when you feel young know that you have a lot to learn from those even younger and those older than you

when you feel young know that each season of life is important

I also started rewatched Lord of the Rings again lately so here’s some quotes I found applicable:
“Not all those who wander are lost.” — Bilbo Baggins. “All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” — Gandalf. “It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door. You step into the Road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off too.” J.R.R.Tolkien
