I can't imagine anything more wonderful, as we age, than knowing we still have so much to learn.
change a thought...change your day
Thursday, October 16, 2014
I work hard to change my thoughts. There are so many days when I feel resistant to change, but I know that change is what makes us grow. When we open our thoughts up to new ideas we also open our hearts up to new ideas. So I try to listen with an open heart and an open mind.
So many younger people think that as we age we become stuck in our thinking. I for one hope that isn't true. I believe that constantly learning new things and changing our thoughts about the things we think we do know helps to keep us young.

I love learning new things and hope that I continue to do so every day of my life. I don't want to be one of THOSE old people that gets so set in the past that I am not part of the present. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Diana. I see people around me who are so unwilling to try new things. I never want to be one of those people either.
DeleteIt's a constant battle to guard our thoughts and channel them into positive and creative ideas. I think learning new things and staying busy really helps. I love a challenge and a fun project to occupy my thoughts. Enjoy your day sweet friend! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI am working on a challenge today. It is definitely expanding my mind. Have a wonderful day, Diane.
Deleteit is definitely something i need to work on, more.
ReplyDeleteI think we are all always a work in progress.
DeleteMy mother is 83 and still learning new things and meeting new people. I think that keeps her young. If I need to know how to do something on the computer I call her. LOL I think I am like her, at least I hope so.
ReplyDeleteHooray for your mother. My mom like to learn things,too and she is 90. I hope we are both like them :)
DeleteVery true. I am usually resistant to change but am trying to work on it. Thanks, sweet Laura, for the wonderful inspiration.
ReplyDeleteChange is what keeps us growing and evolving. It makes life interesting :)
DeleteI've become much more open to change as I've aged and I find that interesting. Guess I have realized my way isn't the only way and this old dog can learn new tricks. New things find me keeping my brain active also.

I am working on something today, which I plan to write about tomorrow. It is definitely making me think. I love learning new things, even if it sometimes feels like my head is going to explode :)
DeleteI am truly much more open to things than I was when I was younger. I think it's because I slowed down and began to reflect.

I think it is one of the great things about aging. Our life experiences help to slow us down and open us up to new things.
DeleteI think I'm more open to change now more than ever. Loved this post, Laura.
