Age is just a number, young is attitude

I can relate a lot to what you are saying. I turned 32 last month, and I still get carded whenever I got to the casino. Most people say that I don't look my age at all. I personally feel that a person is only as old as they feel. Age is truly just a number. There are people who are in their 50's and up, and still are runners etc. It's all a state of mind, rather than a number.

That is so true. And they stay young when you hang out with people that are younger of have a happy attitude! I look alot younger then I am ...in fact people are kinda shocked when I let them in on my secret! LOL

The only time i remember being concerned about my age was when people were saying I was 17 when I was already 23 then. I was bothered that they still see me as a kid even though I'm already an adult. I don't really count my age and I've always believed that it's just a number. It has nothing to do with how i look and how i act. Now i'm 35 and people don't believe that when i tell them about my age. They think i'm 27!

hi dear secretbear I am so glad you are back in mylot. Havent read anything about you for quite some time soooooo a late but heartfelt Happy Birthday to you. The best news about you sure are that you have a boyfriend now. Hope he treats you well and you are happy together for ever. you soooo deserve it.

Hi there! I will be 27 this September. When I was 17, I dreamed that if I could stay my 17 forever. That time, I felt so horrible if some one day I would be 27. But, when time goes by, I seldom felt any jitters about age except every birthday. :P But after I broke up with my ex, my family began to remind me that I would be near 30s, it's time to find another boyfriend, and get married as soon as possible. This bothered me too much. :P But, I have a strong heart! Age is never a problem in my mind. You can never stop time, so I always tell myself that I should catch every moment to do what I want, there is no time to sorrowing over the times of the past. It doesn't matter that I have no boyfriend at present, I can still live with a wonderful life myself!

It's good that you don't look your age unlike many who look beyond their age. It feels bad some times that you are getting older. No worries, all your friends grow with you as well, it's not just you in the world getting older.

You are so right about age being a number. I will be the age of 42 years young next month, and even if I say so myself I do not look 42, in the past people have guessed that I was in my late 20s Although only a week ago a stranger actually thought I was 50! I am fortunate in that I have good skin, and I look after it, and I am very healthy with food and going to the gym three times a week, so I do keep fit, maybe this is what is keeping me young. I have known very active people in their 90s, and I have often seen very lazy people in their twenties, so it is all in the mind and the person's perspective.

well, I absolutely agree with what your friends say, and it helps me to feel better too. I am about 35 years old, and I am truly worry about my age too. But after I read your post, I felt much better now after think about it. So, if you think you are still young, age just a number, it won't affect you a bit.

I do believe in that too- and the more we think about our age, the more we get stressed and the more we look older. So we should just stop worrying about it since we cannot do anything about it- it is just natural, aging.. All we need to do is eat healthy and take care of our body.

I'm with you and you are right,we need whole new attitude everyday in our life and it's important to keep yourself motived for your dreams,so i believe in it.Good luck and enjoy your own life,cuz age doesn't gonna stop us at anything.

True , age are just figures , it's the attitude that makes us young ! It is the perception that one makes one young or aged. The way we look at life , the way we lived our life is what makes us young ! If we stagnate and lived in one corner with out taking [part in outside world then that what makes us old. So it is not in the age but in how we dance each day with the rhythm of life.

You have a good mindset. It will allow you to go much further than the average person who is obsessed with things that are completely irrelevant. As George Harrison said: "All things will pass" and if age is just a number, you will go far with the youth you create in your attitude.

You have amazing Preception there are some people who make fun of old people they try to degrade them but you are truly better than others yes age is just number there are many who die while they are young.you are even young.old age is just a preception you are ever new.don't worry about people laugh and smile then,you will never get old in reality our thoughts our subconscious mind make us old in phsycology it is called autosuggestions and that is the reason of all wrinkles go to any worship place and pray until your eyes are filled with tears let flow out every negativity in you.be as flower love everyone then there is your no reason to be old.enjoy HAPPY MYLOTTING

I fully agree that age is just a number. I am 61 years YOUNG. Attitude is everything. I think young and I feel young. I am approaching my "senior" years feeling better than I have in a long time. I exercise, watch what I eat, am very active, and lead a rewarding life. I am no couch potato, and don't plan on ever being one. It also helps to be in love! :-)

Ofcourse age is just a number but life experiences (mostly it does come with the age) is a fact. Life experiences do change you and if you are older (50 for example) it's not always nice to be with 22 year old people. Although personally I think the other way round, I would not feel great in between people of 50 and 60 years old.

Yes, you don’t need to feel bad about getting older. You can still be young in the heart even if you’re getting older like your motto. If you are young but ill, what’s the use of it, and if you’re getting old but still healthy, it’s better, right? I find that not stressed and have a good and healthy diet also help you to look younger than your age.

You're still on the calendar. Maybe not on the same month but on the next. Don't worry about your age if you have started at least a bit of your dreams.

Yes, that's true age is just a number we should feel young all the time.

Of course your age is important in life. But I think that your age must not be something bad. For me one person could be 40 years old but with understanding of life like 15 years old teenager. The important part here is that he has a lot of experience and can deal with the complicated situations easily.

I agree. age is just a number. I'm already 26 but I feel I am still at 23. and some people think that I am only 19. all I can say is that your age is your attitude and the way you behave and enjoy life.
