A lot of this has to do with your attitude and your emotional intelligence. Living long and well means going through lots of changes, and, alas, some adversity. We build resilience by going through hard times and one of keys is staying flexible and learning.

According to Siebert, individuals who die in their 5th and 6th decade have this trajectory: study, then work, then leisure. Resilient seniors have combined all three throughout their lifetime.

Key to all this is learning optimism. Optimists live 19% longer, enjoy better health, are more likely to fulfill their potential, and enjoy life more. Would you be willing to trade some of ways you think now in order to gain those things just mentioned? If so, learn optimism.

When are you planning to "get old"? Apparently it's up to you and I wouldn't hang on to old stereotypes.

6. What a good feeling to feel like this and know that feeling is really mine.

Knowing what you feel and living in moment will add much enjoyment to your life. We are our feelings, and more we're able to let them into awareness and accept them fully, richer our lives will be, and more us we'll be. If you can't experience your sadness, you can't experience your joy. And don't let someone else's feelings get mixed up with yours. Just because your spouse is having a down day doesn't mean you have to. Just because your co-worker hates his job doesn't mean you have to. Know your feelings and know that they're really yours.

7. A girl can some day be a woman, and a boy can some day be a man.

Yup!

8. You know, playing at computer's different from watching a television program. You can bring your own ideas to whatever happens on computer, and your ideas are special. So are you!

I think computer is most wonderful medium for self-expression we've had since crayons and manila paper! I'm watching clients, friends and loved ones blossom and grow through Internet- learning new things, making new cyber-friends, trying new things, and extending and enriching their lives. It's a great way to share you, who are special, and your ideas too.

9. Some are fancy on outside/Some are fancy on inside/Everybody's fancy/Everybody's fine/Discovering each one's specialty/Is most important learning.

Discover and develop ways in which you're special. You'll reach a higher, more consistent level of performance, feel a deeper sense of satisfaction, and be able to share your real gifts with world.

10. If you've got a plan/Now's time to try it/If you've got an airplane/Fly it/This is just day.

This is what coaching is all about. When will you start that new career? Ask that woman to marry you? Hug your child? Get online? Have baby you've been wanting? Find work that feeds your passion? Quit drinking? Stop smoking? Write a teacher who meant a lot to you in past? Sign up with a coach and get your life moving? This is just day!
