On Ageing

What is age? Dr Deepak Chopra said that there are three different kind of ages..The chronological age is the one that appears on your ID document, passport and drivers license. The one that people ask you about when they are trying to get to know you.
The second type is the psychological age which has everything to do with your state of mind for example the kind of thoughts you hold in your head determines your age. If you feel young at heart, you probably are. If you feel old, chances are your consciousness will reflect this.
The last type is the biological age, which is the state of your physical body. Are you 22 years old, yet you are suffering from old people's disease like heart attack, diabetes, obesity etc. An unhealthy body negatively affects your lifespan thus speeding up your ageing proces. Obesity can cause all kinds of biological complications that will ultimately lead to an early death. If you are 50 and have never been sick, you are probably operating at a physiological age of a 20 something year old, which means that your body has the energy to effectively carry out the physical activities of a 25 year old with great ease. He continued to say that a real determinant of age is not your chronological age, but the pshychological and biological age and the good news about the last two is that they can be reversed. If you nurture your pshycological and physiological being and keep them away from "sickness" , chances are you can successfully defy ageing and your chronological age becomes just another number.
So taking the above into consideration..My age analysis is as follows..Chronologically 29, Psychologically 39, Physiologically 19. I have the wisdom of a 40 year old, the innocence of a 20 year old and the shockin reality of a 30 year old. What does all of this mean? It means don't rush things based on your age, afterall age is just a number, but don't drag things either. Your age can be a great guide in terms of universal timing so don't ignore it completely, it has some use.
