In maturity one becomes less physical and more metaphysical. Our goals then move from the focus of our body to the focus of our soul.

Age consists of all the ages we ever were - two, five, fifteen, forty-five, etc. Stand up to time and gain strength of character. Live in the moment and only in the moment - not in the past, not in the future, but right now, in this moment.
