 | So, what does the future hold for us? Will it mean that elders will need to be proactive in all decision-making processes whether it is personal, physical or political? Yes, definitely – empowerment for elders is in our hands – now and in the future but only if we are actively engaged in our commitment to life during these final decades. |
It is really important, as we move into our elder years, to give our life meaning and to stay committed to living a fully engaged life.
Learning and growing is not just the domain of the young, we are just as capable, if not more, of beginning a new phase in learning and growing in our elder years. This is the time when we can explore more deeply what interests us and all those things that we would have loved to have done that we had previously been too busy to include in our life.
All of this contributes to us having a beautiful purpose as we age by developing a deeper understanding and realisation of what life has to offer us.
It is up to us to change the pictures and labels that we may be carrying around ageing, and to alter the reality of how many of the aged are treated, so that we are setting the model for generations coming after us. We invite you to share with us how you are remaining committed to living a fully engaged life. Perhaps you would like to share how you are learning and growing through exploring more deeply what you had previously been too busy to include in our life. We look forward to reading your comments.
