The best way to look at aging is to see it as an opportunity to leave what didn't work behind and step boldly into a brand new future.

When you run a race, you hurt your ability to compete when you turn your head to look at the competition chasing you, you lose a step physically and psychologically. Run the race always stretching to do your best, imitations will come in last, no one can catch an original.

So, that is my final lesson from the universe - you just do what you need to do, and stay on track.

The best way to look at aging is to see it as an opportunity to leave what didn't work behind and step boldly into a brand new future.

When I was going through menopause, I didn't sleep. I didn't sleep for two years and ended up blowing out my thyroid, and I became nonfunctional. It's difficult to remain fully present if I'm not getting enough sleep, so I work at getting enough.

Know this for sure: When you get the chance, go for it.

Lasting joy is found not in what you get, but in what you give.
