Aging Gratefully: The Doctor and The Man from Hollywood on the Third Age of Life
















Does Age = Wisdom?

Remember the old saying, “Older but wiser?”  Someone recently asked me if age actually does equal wisdom… In a perfect world, it would, wouldn’t it?  What’s the use of all your experience if it doesn’t make you wiser?  The answer is that wisdom only comes from experience defined and revealed by personal growth.  Otherwise you’re doomed to repeat your old patterns, both good and bad, a state of stasis — neither hell or heaven, but certainly not living in gratitude for the moment.  The most complete scientific studies of adult development prove that continued spiritual and emotional growth adds up to a joyful Third Age.  Are you continuing to grow?  What are you doing about it?  What can you suggest that others can do?
