We are as young as we feel and as happy as we allow ourselves to be always.
There are many ways of combatting loneliness which at times strikes at everyone. There comes a time in the life when, after a lifetime of activity, we are thrown upon our own resources to help us wile away the time. Time is of the essence and was never made to just pass by and never accomplish anything, but some people are satisfied to do just that.
We must get away from a self-centeredness and into a true world-mindedness -- to be at one with the pulse of the world and to be willing to do whatever comes to us to do. In this way we are not setting up a wall around us and retreating into a shell.
Get out into the active world and be as active mentally and physically as is possible for you to do. All must do this or a form of mental and physical stagnation occurs which means that you are just going through the motions of living and not really living at all. We have to have the necessary ambition in order to do this. The desire must be to go on and keep on, keeping active and alive to all the needs of others as well as of self.
Our interests and activities, of necessity, are not always the same. We grow older, things change and our pattern of life changes also. Loneliness can and often does creep in, and we wish to be useful and active as always. It is always possible to be active and useful for all we need to do so is the desire and to follow our desire with action.
We are as young as we feel and as happy as we allow ourselves to be always.
