Think About Being Old

 Instead of living your life and letting days go by without much care, you ought to think about becoming old. There's no certainty that you'll reach old age but it isn't unhealthy to assume so. After all, many reach their 60s and beyond. So it wouldn't be strange why you would do the same later on. Since you might age enough to see your hair turn grey and feel that your body is already weak, you should prepare. It would be difficult to find yourself one day unprepared for the days when you're already vulnerable. The fact is that you can reduce your vulnerability so you should be ready while you're ahead.

Whether you're alone or with people in the future, you should think about your daily functioning plus your safety and security. After all, when you're old, your bones, muscles, and joints are already weak. Because of such things, it's clear that doing certain things might be difficult or already impossible for you. Due to this, you need to do some things to prepare yourself. Of course, one of those would be to exercise. That is so that you could make your body stronger.

Now, when you'd exercise, you're going to need to eat a lot too. That is for energy and recovery. It may prove to be costly to do so since you'd likely be buying more food for maintenance or for bulking, yet it'll be worth it. Also, you might need to invest in some equipment or membership for fitness and strengthening. That's because, if you're going to become senile, you're going to lose some muscle mass and turn weaker. So it would be wise to build mass and strength early. Assuming that you will age for a long time, you do need to have the body and power to help yourself. That's so the young ones wouldn't take advantage of you and so that you could function as close to how you would right now in the years to come. There's no escaping that your capabilities will be affected in the future. But, to do something about the said inevitability, you ought to work on your physical aspects now.

Because you might not be able to depend on yourself entirely then, you may want to build connections too. As early as you can, make some friends, establish close ties with relatives, or find a partner. You can even have offspring too. That is because no man is an island. Eventually, you're going to find yourself needing some help in doing certain things. It's not only because you'll have physical limitations. Later, you might not be able to understand some ideas that the young ones do. But, in building connections now, you ought to find individuals whom you could trust. There is no absolute assurance but you have to trust that you're going to find trustworthy people in your life who could possibly help you out.
