Get Happier as You Get Older

Get Happier as You Get Older

Most have the mistaken belief that aging has to bring unhappiness. Studies show that people actually get happier as they get older.

If you could live to 100 in good health and could actually become happier with each passing year, would you want to strive to achieve the remarkable distinction and honor of becoming a Centenarian?

For most of us this is really new thinking. This thought had probably never even crossed my mind until my Mom fell and broke her hip at 87. My journey of helping Mom introduced me to a group of elderly ones who made me stop and think. So many of these folks were in a sad state of affairs with no mobility, poor health, and sad countenances. Others were a joy to be around, were optimistic about life and eager to have friends. I wanted to know the secrets of the oldest of the old who still loved life and lived in health. What should I be doing right now to end up on Happy Rd.

Desire of His Heart

At age 85 Oscar Wilmeth decided he wanted to live to 100. A near fatal car wreck and many more obstacles came to stop him. At 98 he booked a ballroom for his Centenarian Celebration. “I did everything I could to take care of myself and tried to get information on the latest developments in vitamins and all those new fangled devices to help with function, short of a wheelchair – I drew the line there.” ~ Oscar Wilmeth

No Exemptions

Unless Jesus comes before the years pass, each one of us will become older and older and older. It is hard to imagine this when we are younger; and …………

CENTENARIAN =

People who have reached

a remarkable milestone: 100 years of living

LIFE SPAN =

The maximum age obtainable for the

species defined by the longest living individual

Why Not?

Why not begin now planning to be stronger and healthier next year than you are now. In today’s world of fast food and little exercise, old age is hitting younger and younger. Let’s make old age wait.

Fascinating Centenarians

I have decided to focus another month on the stories and findings of Living Long and Strong. Don’t miss the free report on the research I have done on this fascinating group of people. There are seven secrets uncovered.

Faith sees the invisible, believes the impossible,
and receives the incredible. ~ Dr. Caroline Leaf

Old Age is Not for Sissies

Art Linkletter says, “Old age isn’t for sissies.”

This is such a good thought that I wanted to add to this past post of last year and add some new thoughts to it.

I realize how true this statement by Art is the more as I am around the beautiful oldest of the old folks such as my mom (who is almost 96), and the folks at her new place. I am inspired by their smiles and their courage to face each day.

In 1956 there were 56,000 Centenarians in America, (people who had reached the remarkable milestone of living to 100 years old.)

Research from Huffington Center on Aging, Baylor College of Medicine, Boston University of Medical Campus and the Harvard University Gazetter 1998 suggests that by the year 2050, there will be one million Centenarians.

Will you be one of these remarkable ones. More importantly, if you are, will you be living healthy and strong.

“It’s never too late to start (addressing your health and fitness)

It’s always too late to wait.” ~ Jeff Olson (The Slight Edge)

The following poem was found as I did extensive research some years back on Centenarians (those who have reached the remarkable old age of 100). This research resulted in a Free Report, which I created telling the stories of many of these remarkable Centenaries I studied. I will be offering this report as a free gift again soon. One story I loved so much was the story of Abe Goldberg, who has used ballroom dancing as his mode of exercise for more than thirty years. “I danced my way through my eighties, nineties, on my 100th birthday and every year since then.”

This story reminds me of a lady John and I met at the Senior Center Dance events. We will call her Francine. Francine was about 5 feet or less tall with no stooping shoulders at all. She always wore high heel shoes and could dance with perfect skill and balance. The last time I talked with Francine, she was 99. I understand that she attended her 100-year-old birthday dance with joy and health. She graduated on to heaven peacefully a few days later.

The Will to Live
The Courage to Grow Old

We should not drag our feet
When time commands, “March on”‘
We should step out briskly,
Within our hearts, a song.
Our memory is a mirror
Through which we view the past
With melancholy pleasure
But such moments cannot last.
We have to face the future
With joys and griefs unknown;
Let spiritual growth continue
So we do not walk along.

The Story of 95 Year Old Jimmy Davidson

The Story of Jimmy

Two years ago when we arrived at Church in Justin, TX, everyone was talking about the gentleman who had come to Healing School on Saturday. Although 95, he had driven himself from Colorado in his own car to Texas. Friends said he didn’t look a day over 60. His eyes were bright. He was energetic and filled with life. He didn’t even have a walker. What was his secret for this youthful appearance of fitness and health?

He told the congregation that Saturday that he practiced a daily confession of God’s Word over himself every

The Message

day. In fact, he said he had spoken this every morning 9,000+ in his life! He had experienced only one sick day back when he was 88. He lived in divine health.

Jimmy Daily Confession

I am the Body of Christ. I am redeemed from the curses, for JESUS bore my sicknesses and carried my diseases in His own body; and by His stripes, I am healed in the Name of JESUS. Therefore, I forbid any sickness, disease, or accident to operate on or in my body in the Name of JESUS. Every artery, bone, cartilage, cell, disc, gland, joint, ligament, muscle, nerve, organ, sinew, tendon, tissue, vein, vertebrae, blood and skin function in the Perfection, which GOD created it to function.

I honor GOD and bring to Him glory in my body. Thank you, LORD, for a healthy body, a healthy mind, a healthy attitude toward others, and a growing love for You and my neighbor. Thank you, LORD, for all of your blessings. You have truly made me a Blessed person in the Name of JESUS. AMEN

Fascinating

Jimmy’s story is fascinating as are the stories of so many others, who live young for a very very long time. God has provided amazing blessings for us if we can learn what they are and learn how to take them by faith in His Word.

I Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.”

I had so much fun as I studied the lives of Centenarians (those who reached the honorable age of 100). You will be inspired as you read about these wonderful, brave ones. You will also
have a 28 day guide and plan to implement strategies to live long and strong yourself. The Pathway to Living Long and Strong is now on sale for $14. You will have 28 lessons with accompanying workbook implementation pages. Order here: Pathway to Living Long and Strong

Old Age is Not for Sissies

Art Linkletter says, “Old age isn’t for sissies.”

I realize this more and more as I am around the beautiful oldest of the old folks at Appletree Court Assisted Living where my 95 year old mom is. I am inspired by their smiles and their courage to face each day.

The following poem was found as I did extensive research a few years back on Centenarians (those who have reached the remarkable old age of 100). This research resulted in a Free Report, which I created telling the stories of many of these remarkable Centenaries I studied. Some secrets to long life were uncovered in this study. You will find them in the Free Report offered as a gift this month.

How Old Would You Be If You Didn’t Know …..?

November 16, 2015 by Dani Leave a Comment

How Old Would You Be?

Consider the question of “How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you was?” Today laypeople and experts alike conclude that if a person is in reasonably good health, feeling old is largely a state of mind. Satchel Paige, the ageless baseball hero’s quote becomes prophetic:

“How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you was.” ~ Satchel Paige

Many Don’t Feel Old

Many people at age 100 and over say they do not feel old in their minds and in their spirits.

Centenarians feel mature as far as years lived, wisdom gleaned and experience gained – but they do not feel old in the sense of being worn out and used up.

The large number of centenarians who state that they do not consider themselves old leads researchers to believe that there must be something here for us to pay attention to and appreciate.

Billy Earle

Billy Earle, at 105 says “Well what age do I feel?

I’ve determined it’s around thirty.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt like fifty.”

Adds Billy, “To my mind, I’m sometimes thirty, fifty, or sixty.

On bad days, I may feel like seventy, but whatever, I do not feel 100 years plus.”
