As we saunter into a new year in my mind’s eye, I see a speedometer with the year just ticking over. I think about the fact that we are getting older, and it’s just a part of life. There is nothing you can do to stop it; many have tried, but …🤷🏽♀️. What I know we have to do is take care of ourselves as we won’t get the chance to fix it once it’s really out of whack. Someone said to me recently that the reason why we focus more on ourselves and change the way we think as we get older is because our priorities change. What do you think? Do we really change as we get older, or is it that we get to the stage that we really don’t care anymore? Que sera, sera. Or is it really that our priorities shift, and the things that seem to be so important don’t seem to be so important in the grand scheme of things?
As I get older, I know that’s not only just my perception that has changed and the way I look at life but what I expect from it has to also change. I have slowed down considerably, not because of age but because I don’t want to be forever running and going nowhere. Is it that I’m now less ambitious or my priorities have rearranged themselves? I now focus on what I consider to be important and not what someone else says is important and what they consider to be life-changing. After all, I control my life. I intend to focus more than ever on me because, as is said, if I don’t, then how can I take care of others? That’s a promise I will ensure I keep for this year.
Looking backwards I realize that my priorities haven’t changed much. I will continue to focus on myself and that’s the best thing to do. Looking forward, there’s nothing else to do but keep learning and never stop taking care of myself. Ultimately, if we don’t ensure that we’re living up to our own standards and not what others expect of us, it all makes no sense. It is what it is.
