The phrase “age is nothing but a number” is a phrase widely accepted.

An individual’s age can indeed be an intimidating concept that instills fear into one’s life decisions. Many men and women have accomplished activities and lived a vibrant life despite their age; the true reality is that age simply adds to one’s wealth of experience. However, discriminating because of age divides people into classes limiting ideas and opinions alike.

The ability to continue in a life routine that has already been created can help eliminate the fear of age. Many men and women have quit their dreams and goals because of the arbitrary belief that age limits development and progress. Age shouldn’t restrict an individual from continuing what they started, birthing creativity, birth a new business idea, or achieve new heights in career progression. People such as Joan Didion, Vernon Davis, Bob Barker, Oprah Winfrey, and Sam Walton are living proof that age will never limit them from their dreams.

As life transcends, the phrase “age is nothing but a number” retains its truth. It is easy to engage in negative self-talk as people age, sometimes gets tempted to audibly decided they may never adapt well in their community, they can’t initiate traveling at a certain age, and many more psychosocial feelings that may limit one’s flourishing. There should be no limits in achieving maximal effort. Many individuals have improved their skillsets more in the latter stages of their lives, culminating in achievements that could have never been thought of. Think about Vera Wang, Dave Treadway, and Master Rosando Diaz who have, over the years, progressed and achieved greatness through strategic input and tenacity.

With the world growing faster than it ever did, to engage in innovations, people are seen to throw the arbitrary notions into the air and develop new ways to live life fulfilling life’s needs in their seasons. The economy, traffic, and fast-paced lifestyles demand more strategically minded citizens. Beethoven wrote his finest works in the latter stages of life, and Max Desfor won a Pulitzer in his eighties. It’s paramount to see oneself valuable throughout all seasons in life and take advantage of each time one has left while living this decade and coming ones on their terms.

Emotions are powerful. Believing that age does nothing but restrict can resonate with people on a subconscious level. When the thought of limitation settles in, every complete action becomes a strenuous task. Reframing thoughts to be positive can help one negate the limitations thrown by societal structures and routines. The mindset change unveils the hidden potential in an individual and deflects the fear of age instilled in individuals.

In summary, there will be many words of conversations surrounding the belief, ‘age is just a number,’ but seeing the diversity of examples show every age in life is another chance to thrive, learn, unlearn, and create history by adapting our thoughts and exploring life over the huddles. Age indeed is just a numeral as long as one believes in themselves and creates their happy season in life, challenging limitations and embracing the light that shines at the end of the tunnel irrespective of time.

  1. My goal as I age is to keep my energy and mobility levels high enough to stay independent, and to keep my mind as sharp and curious as possible. But it is humbling after 40 to have things take longer to heal, to do odd things like have a coughing fit and throw my back out, to have clothes I wonder if I’ll ever fit in again. Each age has it’s perks and drawbacks though.

    1. While young people may lack life experience, they also have unique advantages such as energy, passion, and a sense of wonder. The phrase “youth is wasted on the young” underplays the value of youthfulness. Instead, let’s encourage young people to use their strengths to create a better future.

  2. Regardless of our earthly age, the very atoms we are made of at any age are countless billions of years old, born in and of the stars themselves (according to current scientific understanding). There comes a point where everything is old and new at the same time (birth?). So, we are forever both/and…

    1. You mean the interconnectedness of all things in the universe. Yes despite our age, we are all made up of ancient atoms. It is the duality and paradox of existence where everything is old and new at the same time, reaffirming the idea that everything in the universe is constantly in a state of transition and renewal. But you do provide some philosophical food for thought about the nature of existence and the unity of all things.

  3. I had been to a touristic spot , and that place had many stairs like about 100-200 steps alright
    On my way upstairs (and downstairs), I met many others too . So somewhere we stood aside , and a elderly European lady said ,”why are you youngsters standing tired, look at me I’m not tired and you all youngsters ? keep going (smile )”
    That showed how age is just a number
