Time is fleeting. It does not seem to last as long as we would like it to last. Although it may seem like yesterday you were raising your children, those years have passed and now they are raising their own children. But, before you let any more time slip pass, start thinking of your future.

Although you may not be able to go back and adjust time, implementing the changes in your diet, your exercise, your mental health and in your financial health will allow you to find the necessary tools to excel in your later years. If one thing is for sure it is you (and only you) that can make a difference in the quality of the rest of your days if you take charge now, without wasting any more time.

Why Didn’t You Do It Before?

Although you may be kicking yourself for not saving enough money or for not dropping those extra 40 pounds when you were younger, you can still make progress by making changes today. In many ways, you will be able to find the health and wellness you could have had.

If you are younger, there are many changes you can make today that will greatly impact your life later. In fact, if you simply make a few of these changes today, you will be able to far exceed your goals in earning a savings account that can pay for retirement, in fending off heart disease and even keeping Alzheimer’s at bay.

Every day you implement positive change is one more day you have the ability to gain benefits. The sooner you start the more benefit you can obtain.

Why Should You Make Changes Anyway?

One of the largest in importance and probably the most difficult things to change are your thoughts that run through your mind.

Why can I not just live the way that I want to today?

Why can I not just eat the foods that taste good and live the life that I am living?

What is going to happen if I do this for one more day, month or year?

You may not realize it, but each of these things can and will lead you to a premature death. Living one more day eating foods that are unhealthy will lead to the increased risk of heart disease. Living one more day with not getting enough sleep, not relieving stress and not getting the exercise you need, leads to disease and an immune system that cannot keep up with you.

Living one more day, essentially takes off more time at the end. Is that really what you want?

There is good news, though. Most of the damage that you have done to your body can be reversed if you make changes now and are dedicated to making it happen. With just a few minutes of care to your lifestyle each day, you can get back the time you may have possibly lost. Do not think it has to be forever, because if you can change your thoughts, you can get it back.

What Needs To Change?

You do not have to live a life that is super “clean” and yes, you can make mistakes, eat that fatty hamburger and still watch realty television if it makes you happy. But, the goal that should be realized is these things should be done in moderation.

There are many habits you should take into consideration as being things to change. Here are a few of the most important considerations you may have to make changes in.

1. Your Diet. Giving your body the nutrients it needs is vitally important to living as long as possible. Not only do you need to put good things in, but you need to get the bad things out. Giving your body the tools it needs to make this happen is important to living longer.

2. Your Brain. Stimulation to the brain needs to be ongoing. With the population’s number of Alzheimer cases expected to drastically increase with the Baby Boomer generation, it is virtually important that you provide the tools necessary to curb this if possible.

3. Your Finances. It is expected in the next five years; more than 50 percent of those that enter retirement will not be able to support themselves but will rely on family, Social Security as well as charity. Is your financial future set for retirement?

4. Your Physical Fitness. It is critical that your body be physically fit. That means two-thirds of the population in the United States who are overweight or obese needs to take heed. Heading into your later years with this type of physical problem will definitely shorten your life span.

5. Your Lifestyle. Getting social interaction, being happy, and less stressed are all key ingredients to a healthy and happy lifestyle. If you do not incorporate these types of interactions into your life, you loose mental alertness and your quality of life is just not what is should be.

Each of these five things can be changed in simple and large ways to help you to prepare for the later years of your life. In fact, no matter where you are in your life, developing your own future is something you have the ability to change.

Giving yourself an opportunity to excel is something you must do and you need to begin making the changes now. The good news is that we have broken it all down for you into a simple guide that will transform your life for the future.

 From Joyce Lawrence Cahoon ('65) of VA - 10/08/08 - "Porch prayer"

There was a little old lady who every morning, stepped onto her front porch, raised her arms to the sky, and shouted: 'PRAISE THE LORD!'   

One day an atheist moved into the house next  door.  He became irritated at the little old lady.  Every morning he'd step onto his front porch after her and yell: 'THERE IS NO LORD!'

Time passed with the two of them carrying on this way every day.

One morning, in the middle of winter, the little old lady stepped onto her front porch and shouted: 'PRAISE THE LORD! Please Lord, I have no food and I am starving, provide for me, oh Lord!'   

The next morning she stepped out onto her porch and there were two huge bags of groceries sitting there.   

'PRAISE THE LORD!' she cried out. 'HE HAS PROVIDED GROCERIES FOR ME!'

The atheist neighbor jumped out of the hedges and shouted: 'THERE IS NO LORD; I BOUGHT THOSE GROCERIES!!'

The little old lady threw her arms into the air and shouted: 'PRAISE THE LORD! HE HAS PROVIDED ME WITH GROCERIES AND MADE THE DEVIL PAY FOR THEM!'   

   WILD GIGGLES!!! Thanks, Joyce!
