Ageformer 1.0

“Being Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is not only a matter of rosy cheeks, great body and stylish clothes; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigour of the emotions; a freshness of the deep springs of life the one which you can keep forever till your last breathe”

 How many times we have entered into meeting or conference or interview or any other professional or personal gathering where you come across a human being whom you can say Oh wow ! This Person can talk about new release from electronic music or what’s happening on QUAD & its significance to India or latest technology or what is the most scenic thing you can see in your city or why did Genghis khan couldn’t invade or conquer current day India or why did Japan Invade Pearl Harbor in WW II..? Well I would say hardly or probably none. But indeed such extra ordinary people exist on the planet earth who can walk yesterday, who can talk today and most importantly they can envision future for themselves and people around them. What exactly this person are up to in their life is that wisdom or is that sheer some madness or book wormers or some good content consumption or just knowledge seeker my answer will be none of them but all of them and I called them AGEFORMERS.

Ageformer are those who can connect to 20’s 40’s 60’s and 80’s irrespective of what is there current age.

When I use the term “Ageformer,” I define it as remaining young at heart, embodying those feelings of joy and freedom most of us had as children. For me, it is also the belief that anything is possible at any time of your life. The good news is the way of looking at the world is not dependent on your chronological age. It is available to you right now, regardless of your age.

But why there is need of becoming Ageformer? Is there really a need to become Ageformer? Surely YES because you see it doesn't seem to matter what our birth certificates say -- whether we're in our 20s or 90s -- we get distracted by our thoughts and worries about how old we are. Of course, that's natural and just part of being human, but a life focused on our age, how we look, self-imposed limitations, and fear is painful and pointless. The real you is ageless. That's why we're sometimes surprised when we look in the mirror and think, "That's not me."

At 20, we think people in their 40s are past it. In our 40s, we assume that people in their 60s are much different from us because we're still youthful and with it while they're over the hill. Yet when we reach 65, we find that hill has shifted along about 15 years -- and so on. It is never ending process so why not change the game of life and transform ourselves and become Ageformer.

So wanna become an Ageformer? This are few simple recipe you need to add in your daily life irrespective of whatever you’re doing in life right now while reading the recipe of Ageformer

• Forget about numbers or refuse to think about them or let them not get you down them get me down. Live the life to the fullest with lots of love. The only denomination that matters is the amount of love you have spread in a day. No other number has the power to last forever and ever….only LOVE.
• Add Lots of Music to your life. 20 Mins of music a day keep ageing away. Im referring to active listening. Select a theme song for yourself. Whenever you do something amazing listen to it and make yourself proud & feel great about yourself
• Hold on to cheerful friends and colleagues and Laugh loud and often very often. Surround yourself with lively, smart, fun and interesting people who adore being around you, don’t settle for anything or anyone else
• Lift weights & Stay in Shape. Exercise is good for your mind as well as your body & more importantly to your soul. The human body is the only machine that wears out faster if it is not used. Cherish your health. If you’re healthy, do what you can to preserve it. Big Belly is out of fashion or was never in fashion. Indeed nobody is going to tell you “Hey I’m proud of you, because you are foodie”
• You are responsible for your own happiness. We sometimes convince ourselves that life will be better after we get a better job, make more money, get married, have a baby, or buy a bigger house. Yet the accomplishment of any of those events might not make any difference at all. There is no magic secret to happiness, but it starts in your head at this moment.
• Flirt with life—not with men and women, but with all of what life has to offer and can offer you.
• Be spontaneous. When you do something out of the ordinary and on barely a moment’s notice, this can make you feel alive and young. (im not referring to playing cricket on Sunday evening in your society premises after call from your society secretary K or having can of beer at the society terrace)
• Read! Read! Read. Well I’m not referring to only novels and fantasy world but also something inspiring or motivating. Read a lot of history, it will teach you a lot about what other people have gone through and their stories will inspire you. It will give you a very fresh perspective about life.
• Keep learning: After completing 300+ hrs of online training programme in last 2 yrs. on variety of subjects, I can confidently say, it is worth the investment professionally as well as personally.
• Content: Consume good interesting content available today (again im not referring to nonsense fb videos or reel stories) for example: I have immense amount of passion knowing about history (Musician being second, historian would have been third preferred choice of career) History is nothing but full of insights, education and immense amount of learning from the past. Pick up subject of your choice and keep watching or reading about your favourite subject. Check out the link below on what is your leadership style? Basis on my learning from history:

• Treat yourself regularly to wonderful little things, especially if they seem unnecessary and frivolous. This will remind you that you are wonderful and when you feel wonderful, you just feel better
• Every morning when you wake up, tell yourself you are a beautiful and wonderful person while you look straight into the mirror
• Never say or think that you are “too old “to do anything. This is a self-fulfilling prophecy, you are only as old as you make up your mind to be
• Take the time to be stay beautiful and stylish. You can’t feel both depressed and fabulous at the same time. Being simple is passé. #Stylematters
• You can’t escape stress, but you can avoid creating unnecessary anxiety. You just need to find a stress reliever. If the stress just won’t go away, then you have to make some changes in your life that might be more stressful in the short term, but healthier in the long run.
• More Importantly create our own world the way you want to look at it and not how outside world wants to see it ( 99% of cases are latter unfortunately with world famous dialogue “what world will think’)

 Be Experimenttitude! Be Romanterprenuer! Be Stylish and more importantly become Ageformer.

Life needs Ageformer! Company needs Ageformer! A friend needs Ageformer! Family needs Ageformer! Society needs Ageformer! World needs Ageformer….

Because life is full of stories but make sure yours is Damn Inspiring!!!
