It is said that a person does not age when his skin wrinkles, but when his dreams and hopes wrinkle. The truth is that no one ages because he has lived a certain number of years, but when he puts aside his own spirit and his ideals of him. In other words, when he stops cultivating youth of spirit.
In the center of the heart is a place called love. The leaves that surround it are life and its flowers smell of beauty, hope, joy and enthusiasm. Together they form a garden of experiences that we must take care of and clean up from time to time, so that over time their maximum splendor.
Having seen multiple pages of the calendar scroll does not make us less capable of loving, to make our dreams come true or to enjoy life as a couple.
It is true that certain vices or habits are acquired that reflect part of a personality that time has solidified; this, however, is by no means negative, since knowing how to live with changes is also part of age.
“Years can wrinkle the skin, but giving up wrinkles the soul. Regret, doubt, self-doubt, fear of despair, are the years that bend the heart and sink the flourishing spirit into the shadows.
At sixteen or sixty, in every human heart there is always the impulse to amazement, the sweet amazement for the stars, the challenge of events, the infantile appetite for life. "

Where some see old age, others see the beauty of the passing of the years. And there are more beauties besides that of 20 or 30 years old, characterized by freshness, red cheeks and lips.
So forget anti-aging creams, because getting old is inevitable, but it is a decision we all make. The heart does not age, it is the skin that wrinkles.
Accumulating youth of spirit is an art
It doesn't matter if white hair starts to appear, if we see wrinkles in the most unexpected places on the face or if the body asks for respite every morning.
What really matters is that accumulating experience and knowledge, to know that it is mandatory to grow up and that not even a second of one's life should be wasted.
“Leave me all the wrinkles, don't take off even one. It took me a lifetime to make them! "
-Anna Magnani-
The vigor of a young spirit is not found only in a phase or in certain ages. In fact, the youth is not a phase of, it is a state of mind. We insist on seeking the elixir of eternal youth when we should seek that of eternal vitality.
Adding years is the best thing in the world, because it means that we are alive and that we retain the possibility of continuing to accumulate experience and knowledge.
Being young at heart means that the love of adventure remains indelible, but with the temperance of character that contemplates life calmly and is aware of the ephemeral.
The important thing is not to add years of life, but to add life to the years
People who add life to their years have long since banished "can't" from their minds and know that age is no obstacle if they commit themselves.
“Get old with me! The best is yet to come "
-Robert Browning-
There are no wrinkles in their hearts, because the soul does not shrivel, but rather grows and enriches itself. Perhaps our face will eventually be full of signs of age, but our eyes will continue to transmit the brightness of those who know that life is made for breathing.
Never lose hope even if you lack strength. Let each passing year leave some marks on the skin, but do not lose the youth of spirit.
Become thieves of seconds for make every moment eternal and never give up the pleasure of remembering.
Memories are a treasure, but you don't need to live on them. You face the present with strength and courage. Sparkle, remember to smile, love yourself and enjoy life, after all you are on a journey that you will not be able to repeat.
