Thanks To Experience

"At one hundred, I have a mind that is superior - thanks to experience - than when I was twenty." - Rita Levi Montalcini, Novel Prize-winning scientist

Isn't it nice to know that our minds are improving to the point of being superior? I love this idea. I'm looking forward to this - I really am!

Experience is all I have to go by when it comes to sharing myself with friends and family. I have learned from every experience I've had. Sometimes I've learned from others and sometimes I've learned what not to do from others. Any way it goes, my experience is all mine and no one can take that away from me. If I choose to ignore my personal experience, that's when I can get into trouble. So I do my best to be aware and alert as I go through my day and I rely upon my past experiences to help me make daily choices.

As time has gone by, I've been blessed with opportunities to share my experience, strength, and hope with others who are facing multiple challenges in their lives. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to share what I went through in order to help someone else. In the meantime, I'll be looking forward to aging (as gracefully as possible) so I can reach that age of having a superior mind. This is quite a journey we're on, isn't it? :)
