Essence, Energy and Enthusiasm
Age is just a number, or so they say. But as we journey through life, we often find ourselves defined by that very number. Society categorizes us into age groups, especially women, stereotypes us based on our age and how we look for our age, and makes assumptions about what we can or cannot do at a certain age.
It’s time to challenge these preconceptions and shift our perspective. We are not our age; we are our essence and our energy.
Age is a Fact, Energy is a Choice
Age is a fact of life, and we can’t change it. We are all getting older with each passing day. However, our energy, enthusiasm, and zest for life are not bound by the years we’ve lived. These qualities are a matter of choice. We can choose to embrace the fullness of life, stay curious, and maintain our vitality regardless of the number on our birth certificate.

The Power of Positive Energy
Positive energy is infectious, and it knows no age limits. It’s that undeniable spark that lights up a room when someone enters, regardless of whether they are 25 or 75. People who radiate positive energy are magnetic, and they attract others because of their light.
Think about it. Have you ever met someone who defies the stereotypes associated with their age? They might be in their 60s but have the curiosity and enthusiasm of someone in their 20s. Or perhaps they are in their 30s but possess the wisdom and serenity often associated with older generations. And then there’s those in their 40’s who are always compaining about someone or thing. All these individuals are living proof that we are not our age; we are indeed our essence and our energy.
Embracing Change
Embracing change and adapting to the evolving phases of life is vital to maintaining our energy and vitality. We must be open to new experiences, continue learning, and explore our passions. Just because we’ve reached a certain age doesn’t mean we should stop setting goals, dreaming big, or pursuing our ambitions.

Age can bring wisdom, but it should never hinder personal growth. We can learn from the past, appreciate the present, and look forward to the future. As long as we maintain our essence, energy and enthusiasm, we can still create and achieve.
The Wisdom of Experience
Age brings valuable experiences that can help us navigate life’s challenges. These experiences are a part of our unique journey, shaping us into the individuals we become. While our age may play a role in these experiences, it’s the energy with which we approach them that truly matters.
As we grow older, we accumulate wisdom and resilience that can be a source of strength and guidance. However, it’s crucial to remember that age does not define our capacity to learn and adapt. We can continue to evolve and grow regardless of the number of candles on our birthday cake.

What then…
Ultimately, we are not our age; we are our essence and energy. Our age may be a part of who we are, but it does not limit our potential, passions, or dreams. We can choose the energy we bring to each day and the world around us.
Let’s break free from the stereotypes and limitations associated with age.
Let’s celebrate the boundless energy that can keep us youthful in spirit, enthusiastic about life and allow joy to navigate our live. Remember, it’s not the years in your life that count, but the life in your years. Embrace your energy, and you’ll discover that age is just a number on your journey of wisdom, along with your vibrational contribution.
Heart to Heart, Elizabeth
