Now, which one's true?
Aging involves inevitable decline or growth is possible at any age?
They're both true.
But here's the difference.
That one of them
leads to certain types of behaviors and the other leads to other behaviors.
That if I have a positive view of aging, that growth is possible at any age, how likely am I to volunteer in my community, to go to the gym, to go see friends, to take care of myself in a way that's different?
So it's not that there's some kind of magic, the mitochondria in my body are changing because I have positive vibrations.
No, that's not what's happening at all.
It's that people who have a positive view of aging
behave differently and their behavior becomes their biology.
Yeah.
All right, let's do it.
Let's do it.
So what's the limiting belief there?
What's the belief that you think is a fact that is causing you suffering?
Okay, that's awesome.
That if I'm not successful, that's bad.
Is there any way the opposite could also be true?
Oh, okay.
