Quotes on Aging

“It’s OK to laugh at aging stereotypes as long as you DON’T BELIEVE THEM” – Mike Moore

“Do not grow old no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like curious children before the great Mystery into which we were born.” – Albert Einstein

Here’s a true story to illustrate the key message on aging.

After having given a lively speech on ” Going for the Gusto ” ( Living, to the Max, the Only Life You Have) I was approached by a young man named Marty who said that he wished his parents had been in the audience. It seems his parents, who had just turned 70 and were in good physical health, had given up on life and were just waiting to die.

They really needed to hear your positive, uplifting message but I didn’t realize the talk would be like this.” We chatted for a few minutes and I gave him a Free copy of my book for his parents. I do hope they read it and have their life batteries recharged BIG TIME.

The tragedy is that there are far too many people like Marty’s parents in “God’s waiting room.“ What we need to do is empty God’s waiting room and fill up God’s Play Room.

* We are all members of the TOO MUCH and TOO LITTLE Generation

We eat too much
Drink too much
worry to much
Get angry too much
Watch TV too much
Fear too much

Laugh too little
Smile too little
play too little
exercise too little

On it goes.

Do you know that each one of us has about 62,000 thoughts pass through our mind every day…..AND MOST OF THEM ARE NEGATIVE

If our thoughts are negative then our attitudes will be negative and when our attitudes are negative our life will be negative.. Aging well demands positive thinking and positive action.

What a couple of people had to say about “How to Avoid Getting Old No Matter How Long You Live”

Hi Mike.

I have been offered an opportunity to teach Bachelor of Social Work students at one of our local universities
(Renisin College, University of Waterloo)

The course is Working with Canadian Seniors.
Many of these BSW’s are quite young and unchallenged, so far, by life.
Your book How to Avoid Getting Old is a god send.

May I please have permission to use some of your quotes and pictures?

Sincerely
Joan

Hi Mike—
I really enjoyed your book—thanks for making it available for our pleasure, learning and enjoyment!

“Growing old” is a mindset. While aging is a natural process, we can be proactive about not “growing old”. Mike’s book is full of fun and thought provoking observations on aging—a definite must have “preventative” manual for those as young as 40 years of age.”
