Change the way you age!

With age comes more wisdom you learn through life experiences. Another factor is nature, hormones determine much of behaviour. The first big change is puberty when a fascination with (usually) the opposite sex becomes all consuming, nature's way of ensuring procreation. As you age those hormones reduce, you become calmer, less reactive with maturity.

For women of course there is another big change, the menopause. In the western world divorce rates go up at this time as hormone levels drop, the maternal all consuming desire to 'mother' and dutifully sacrifice your own needs for others, the children and husband lessens considerably. A lazy, selfish, critical husband who has not supported, helped or even noticed you for years suddenly become a unbearable irritation. Why do you want to be their unappreciated slave any more? Your basic character tends to stay much the same. Nice people stay nice, nasty people stay nasty.

How we view ourselves can morph based on how the world treats us. This can be a good thing or a bad thing. These traits change over time and we also learn quite a few things from mistakes we have made in the past. I think it is a mistake to not stay true to our core traits which are the ones I believe we are simply born with. When we try to change this part of our personality I don’t think we feel totally at peace with ourselves. Almost like a disconnect or something is missing.

We need to work hard to keep ourselves who we were born to be. This can be very hard in a world that tells us to be a certain way or you won’t fit in. This starts from the time we are young and continues throughout our lives. This is why we need to be strong and fight to keep our inner selves alive. Don’t let others tell you who to be. You tell them who you want to be.

But you keep going until one day, you don't really stop what you are doing except now you have a higher awareness of consciousness of the direction you are going, where before you were just waking up day-to-day and doing things to stay alive. Your personality has a sense of self-actualization. Then you fulfill those needs by bending the personality to do so.

And through those Life decisions, they positively impact a persons personality if the person steps away from the derogatory circumstance and rises to the occasion in identifying the lesson learned. If the person does not, the circumstance will have a negative impact on the personality.

Metaphorically speaking however, it is sort of like an iron smith who wields raw material together through a consistent enduring process to create a beautiful work of art. Human beings go through a similar process. Assuming that you take good care of yourself and continue to acquire knowledge as you gain age, the personality becomes more understanding to a broader range of different kinds of people yet more distinct and refined to better handle emotions and expectations.

The personality's sense of Time becomes more specific and focused. You acquire a higher sense of awareness which is more clearly aligned with your principles. Where as, when you were younger, your awareness is still gaining experience highly influenced by your peers, interests, and culture. Enjoy as you keep ageing everyday, Cheers!
