Check out the following qualities, words, characters which are important to you/most essential for your mental well-being...

Enthusiasm and zest for life

Passion

Self esteem

Being worthy

Usefulness

Independent

Confidence

Applaud and recognition

Being active and energetic

experiencing childlike joy

If none of the above matters to you, skip this article and wait for next post.

But if even 3 of the above matters to you, then you need to hold on to these qualities as below –

Reinvent self

Use your experience and tap your talents to put it in use and in as many areas as possible.

Forget laziness or never dream of lazing around

And when all this is done you maintain your dignity even at ripe old age a la’ Amitji. Being busy doesn’t include being actively busy in gossiping circles or attending family functions. Infact, these are the areas to be avoided if you want to be young at heart. Think Amitabh Bachan and if you want to be like him at 75, young, enthusiastic, active, reinventing self yet maintain his dignity, playing his age yet with grace that commands respect, one who works and enjoys it in all its shade and to whom now money is just the by-product of his work and is less effected and stressed out for his success.

Does that mean you should end up your life behind some office desk till last breath? That would be a life wasted and not lived.

Plan as if you are to live hundred years and live as if today is your last day of your life!
