You’re as Young as Your Ideas

 You’re as Young as Your Ideas
“Nobody grows old by merely by living a number of years.
People grow old by deserting their ideas. You are
as young as your faith, as old as your doubts;
as young as your self-confidence, as old
as your fear; as young as your hope,
as old as your despair.”
Douglas Mac Arthur 1880 -1964, American 5 Star 
General US Army

As I see it. . . . . . . .
You’re as young as your ideas.

You’re as young as your ideas . . . . your beliefs and your hopes.

You don’t grow old in years . . . . You grow old in your thinking by shutting off the flow of new ideas . . . . and drifting into the world of self-doubts and the questioning of your ability.

Keep your thoughts positive and your mind open to new ideas . . . . and to keep the new possibilities flowing. And you’re mind will remain young and receptive . . . . and shut off any self-doubts.  With a positive outlook you’ll step into the future with a high degree of self-confidence.

When you believe in yourself, in your abilities . . . . and have faith in yourself and in your actions you will keep your mind active and young.

You’re as young as your ideas . . . . and as old as our self-limiting beliefs.

People Grow Old When They Desert Their Dreams


Motivational Power Quote

People Grow Old When They Desert Their Dreams
“Nobody grows old merely living a number of years. people
grow old by deserting their ideas. You are as young as your
faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence,
 as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old
as your despair.”
Douglas MacArthur 1880 -1964, US Army 5 Star General

 
As I see it . . . . . . .

People grow old when they desert their dreams

When a person gives up and deserts their dreams . . . . they will lose hope for their future and it will prematurely age them both mentally and physically.

The person that has faith in themselves will find opportunity and a way to continue to strive forward in the direction of their dreams with a positive outlook.

Have the self-confidence in yourself and in your ability the reach your destination. Also believe that with persistent effort that you will achieve your goals and dreams.

Keep your hopes alive and your will remain as young as your hopes.

Your body may age . . . . but you will remain forever your young with a positive attitude that’s supported by your efforts to fulfill your destiny and your dreams.

People grow old when they desert their dreams . . . . and let their attitude turn sour.
