There is a saying that you’re only as old as you feel.
I see evidence of this everywhere. Take David Attenborough, for example. This year he turns 87 and yet he is still travelling the world giving talks and making documentaries. (Sir David is toured Australia last year and is coming back this June). And yet many people in their late eighties are unable to get out of bed without assistance let alone make a cup of tea or board a flight to some far flung land to film another of nature’s miracles.
Physically, we are all made differently however I believe this also has a lot to do with what goes on inside your head. Are you constantly telling yourself how amazing you are and encouraging yourself to do new things? Or do you spend each and every day beating up on yourself for silly little mistakes and saying “I can’t” all too often? Do you take the time to seek and enjoy beauty in your life?
Beauty is everywhere. A flower, a smile, a sunset and the people we love.
When we’re happy it’s easy to notice and appreciate the beauty around us. Sometimes when we have troubles in our life we become completely blind to the beauty that surrounds us and deny ourselves the pleasure it can give us.
Take some time this week to notice and appreciate all the beauty in your life and see how it makes you feel. I would love to hear your feedback so feel free to post your thoughts in the comments area below.
Have a beautiful week!

This post was inspired by my Big Brother who is celebrating a milestone this week. He always manages to stay young and have lots of fun. Happy Birthday Big Bro; thanks for being the great person you are. Many happy returns and may you see beauty everywhere for many years to come! xo
