Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

While aging is served at our table with sides of illness, fragility, and wrinkles, being up in years also yields dessert portions of maturity and wisdom.

Inward growth is our senior superpower. 

As an elder now, I have greater confidence and clarity on issues and the most important things I had always sought when I was a younger man. 

Renewal of mind, position and purpose are commodities traded for beauty, agility, and all the passing attributes of youth we once cherished. 

When I depart, I’ll take a renewed mind and leave a renewed philosophy for the world to remember me by. 

Not a bad trade for the end game if you ask me. 

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ ‭NIV‬‬
