  Speaker 1: When it's extremely difficult to make up your mind, I mean,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: having that power of choice can actually weaken a person's heart.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: On this episode, we're going to put focus on making
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the choice to give something up the times they are
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: a change in What are you starting to set aside? Plus,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: at what age do we finally make that choice to
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: accept our true age? My name is Arrow. Life is
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a series of choices. Who decides when you're not making
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the right choice? And is it a fear of things
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: going wrong? The greatest lessons in life are often lost
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: inside hidden away attempts and concepts. Well, it's time to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: reopen your heart, because having that power of choice every
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: day is your daily gift. On this highway, we're going
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to learn how to trust mirages. What is the choice?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: How about making the choice to make a choice. Time
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to give something up because life is too expensive. Let's
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: make something very clear. This is less about giving something
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: up and more about prioritizing what really matters most in
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: your present day life. Things you might want to give up, well,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: it's time to break free of streaming services, that thing
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: we do on our flat screen TVs. Dining out is
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: another thing that has slowed way down. What about your
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: personal hobby? Vacations are actually being set aside and a
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: second car? Don't even think about it. Priority is more
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: important than the real question, which is what are you
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: going to give up to enrich your personal life or
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to give yourself something that is required in life more money.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Sometimes giving something up to save money makes you feel
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: extremely poor. Oh I know that all too well. So
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: how can we protect our emotions? Well you can't, not completely.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Being human comes with hurt, disappointment, worry and the broken heart.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Now the good news is friendship, stories, laughter and meaningful conversation.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: They're priceless. They're not going to go anywhere, not even
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: when circumstances change around you. The goal isn't to build
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: a wall around you. Emotions are to be presented. It's
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to take your time to build a stronger life that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: your emotions can move through, not around, not above, not
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: under through the emotions. It has to be beyond without
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: knocking everything down, making that choice to get something up
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: because life is too expensive. But it's never about giving
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: up love. Coming up next, at what age do we
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: finally say, yeah, I'm really that old? Hey, thanks for
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: coming back to the choice. At what age do we
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: make the choice to accept how old we truly really are?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: The good news is there isn't any particular age when
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: we say wow, I'm how old again? Really? Really? No,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: there's no way look at me. Come on, here's the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: real breakdown. Twenty to thirty year olds are free to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: act and become anything they want to. They still believe
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of time left in these chapters. People
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: actually believe that when you hit fifty, it's time to
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: take note of the psychological changes we see our aging
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: parents and the younger coworkers, and as you reach sixty,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: we stop measuring ourselves up altogether as adults. It allows
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: us to begin forgiving and focusing on what really does
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: matter in our lives. New research shows that most adults
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: feel mentally younger than their chronological age. Those who are
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: seventy act pretty much like they're fifty. Acceptance comes into
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: play when you add your own value into the picture.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Some in the study admit that they started making peace
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: at the age of thirty five. So what's the bottom
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: line or real message here? We never really fully accept
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: how old we really are. We gradually grow more interested
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: in how we're living than how many years that we've lived.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I don't mind asking people, so how old do you feel?
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? I mean, I'm sixty
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: four right now, but if you look at me, watch me.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I'm serious. If you watch me, you'll think I'm anywhere
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: between twenty one and thirty one. It just happens. I'm
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that young on the inside of my soul because I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: work at it. I do the daily writing, I do
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: the walks, I do the working out, I do the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: eating correctly, God Almighty, But I am nowhere near being
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that perfect person because I get on that scale and go,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: what the hell? I feel like I'm ninety today. Or
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: when you get out of the car and you've been
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: bent over for a couple of hours because you've been driving,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh, you're making sounds that old people do.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: But on the inside internally, how old you really feel
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: like you are at what time of the day, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: what are you gonna do about it? It is a choice.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I'm Marrow and that's what I was writing while the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: sun was waking up on a brilliant new day.
