I was listening to Louise Hay's audio book The Power is Within You. In this particular chapter she was addressing the aging process. Here are some of the highlights of this chapter.
Getting old is a normal and natural process of living.
We are on this planet to experience every part of life.
Separate the idea that you get old and get sick as you age.
You do not have to get sick or suffer to die.
When it is our time to leave and we have accomplished what we came here to do we can take a nap and leave peacefully.
We do not have to suffer in our last years and days in order to leave the planet.
The Aging Set Point Theory states:
- We do not get old by chronological age.
- We have a biological time clock that exists in our minds.
- If we think 35 is midlife then our bodies begin to accelerate our aging at that point for a decline. If we think at age 70 we are now old, our bodies then become old.
- Our beliefs, thoughts and concepts dictate how long we live and our quality of life.
For as long as I can remember I always thought I would leave this earth at age 57. Well, shocking to me I am in my 57th year and still kicking. In many ways stronger and wiser as a result of my health journey.
I think my innate wisdom knew that a part of me would be dying at 57. Yes, that is what is true. I was given a choice, like we all are, to either continue my life the way I had been living it prior OR get rid of / leave behind / let die those things, ideas, concepts, thought patterns, beliefs, people, places........ that no longer serve me and create from that day forward a new life. I have chosen the latter.
I have chosen the road less traveled. Which happens to be one of my favorite books I read when I was a teenager. 
Abundance and prosperity is about allowing ourselves to accept.
