Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 889 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
Just a little while ago, I got off the phone with a relative who has aged. This person has reached her late 80s, close to 90s. It is interesting that speaking with this woman, I found out that she is lonely. That’s probably one of the hardest thing to live with. When you age, you become lonely. With loneliness comes fear and of course, this compounded with sometimes, medical issues, conditions, or diagnoses that seem to be dangerous, at that age, even the slightest movement outside by just the wind, can cause that person to be scared.
So if you know aging people, it could be parents, relatives, or friends, show them support, show them that you care.
There’s no greater gift that you can give because at that age, there’s not much that they can offer. Now, they have wisdom, tremendous amount of wisdom. After all, they’ve lived their full life and that life that they’ve lived is packed with wisdom of depth that would take any one of us a whole lifetime to understand. The generation previous to us is always smarter and greater, and they know; they see, they understand. So if you have the opportunity and you can or you would like to do something good, contact a person who’s aging, an elderly.
If it’s a family member, they will appreciate it. If it’s not, then they’ll have great feelings of kindness and hope, to share with you. Go ahead, spend time with them even if it is but to visit them, like coming by, bringing them a present with things that they like, things that remind them of their youth, you will do a tremendous service not only to our society and to the world around you, but to the person that you’re visiting as well and to your soul.
Visiting an elderly is a blessing and it is something which is actually very precious.
I remember myself when I was in practice and seeing my elderly patients. They came in with fire within themselves, and the hope that their diagnosis will always be better than they had anticipated. I made it a point to always take care of that and make sure that that’s what they would get: the best health care. So you don’t have to be a doctor to do that. You can be a good person and help these people. It will change your life, I guarantee you that.
