Everyone has thought about never getting old at least once in their life. The thought is romantic, but unrealistic. Instead we should think about all the amazing memories we've acquired over the years and commit to never accepting our own mental or physical defeat. A 27-year old says their getting too old for a simple activity. Has our society really become that lazy? The old saying goes, "You're only as old as you feel." But in reality it should really be, "You're only as old as you let yourself believe."
One California man has decided not to let age and naysayers keep him from doing what he loves: hiking. At 85,
Don Viejo (trail name), has sent out a new kind of personal ad.
Not only is the ad extremely cute, but his poem is creative and hits home to a lot of us. His message speaks volumes to his character. Never give up, no matter how slow. Our bodies might be older, but our hearts are forever young.
