One of the recent blog posts which came across my email contained the saying from our image below of “I didn’t come this far to only come this far.”
Something resonated with this week’s quote that encouraged me to say “Yes” to finishing what seems like never ending fitness courses that keep beckoning me to sign up!
Specifically I”m deep in the woods on understanding physics of the golf ball flight – simply to become a golf fitness instructor who wants to be fluent in the language of golf.
Our I Didn’t Come This Far To Only Come This Far saying dovetails well with the U.S. Administration for Community Living Department’s designation of May being Older Americans Month.
Generally I shun marketing efforts with the word “Older” because it feels as though those with more years are being segregated and isolated from the community-at-large.
However, the sub-phrase Age My Way caught my attention.
Most readers of this post are age 60+ and leaders in some fashion in your families and communities.
You seriously, happily, wholeheartedly and generously are Aging Your Way through investing time, talent and resources in yourself and others.
Keep it up. A day may come when choice departs as to how we age.
Recently a dear friend had a debilitating stroke, leaving her functionally paralyzed.
My friend had invested years mentoring and listening to others. This giving of herself fed her own soul while doing it.
Through the challenges her family is facing to take care of her at home, one thing stands out…the total unasked for willingness of all those women she mentored, who show up to sit, hold her hand and read to her – giving the family some reprieve.
We haven’t come this far only to come this far.
Life’s rewards are accruing to us in ways we can not imagine both for today and far ahead WF!
