Philosophy for Old Age by George Carlin

How 'Old' Are You? Do You Refer To Yourself As 'Old'? Do You Want To Be 'Old'? If So... Why? 

Consider This:

You should eliminate the word 'old' from your vocabulary when defining yourself. For example: someone asks your age; and you respond, "I am 60 years 'old'. You just affirmed that you are old. Why not simply say, "I am 60", or I've turned 60". 

Why? - Every time you affirm that you are 'old' your body actually becomes older, because there is a little helper inside of you controlling the functions of your body. It is known as your unconscious mind. It is more powerful than your conscious mind; and it will do all it can to accommodate and help you get older - every time it hears you make that 'I am old' affirmation. 

It will say, "Oh, you want to be old... I can help." Then it causes negative get-old things to happen to your body. This is true and researched; so stop with the 'old' stuff. Better to say, "I am 60 years 'young'." Your unconscious mind hears that as well... and will respond to it.

Keep yourself vibrant, healthy, young at heart and in mind... even though the years roll on. You won't regret it, and folks will think you are extraordinary.

Now for comedian George Carlin, whom I think was also a great philosopher of sorts. Below is his video... "Philosophy For Old Age". It is wonderful, typical George Carlin, but do notice how he doesn't indulge the word 'OLD'.
