Old age could mean different things to different people. People retire at the age of 60. The tendency for many people is that, at this point in their lives, they also retire mentally.

60 years of retirement is not a certificate for human redundancy. It’s an act of transitioning from one assignment to another. 

At Age 84, Moses walked in the desert for 40 more years, just like others in the Bible.

Even 100 years could just be the beginning of ‘another journey’ to create something beautiful. The physical condition of this earthly tent – called body – doesn’t matter much, It’s the state of the inner man that does. 

Remember that you can still be fruitful even in your old age, wearing your grey hair like a crown of splendour.

This is a time for reflection on what you wish you could have achieved in your prime and the lives you could have changed. 

It’s a moment of victory over the challenges and afflictions you have faced over the decades. Refresh yourself! And congratulations!

Now is also the opportunity to look back and correct any mistakes. This is a privilege that not everyone is fortunate enough to have.

In all, you did what you could, so far. Be motivated, old boy/girl and be a good example to the younger generation.
