“It takes courage to dream, to face our futures and the limiting forces within us. It takes courage to be determined that, as we slow down physically, we are going to grow even more psychologically and spiritually. Courage, the philosopher Aristotle taught us, is the most important of all the virtues, because without it we can’t practice any of the others. Courage is the nearest star that can guide our growth. Maya Angelou said we must be courageous about facing and exploring our personal histories. We must find the courage to care and to create internally, as well as externally, and as she said, we need the courage “to create ourselves daily as Christians, as Jews, as Muslims, as thinking, caring, laughing, loving human beings.” CreativityCourageVirtueAgingAuthenticitySelf ExpressionAuthentic SelfAging GracefullyAuthentic LivingCourage To Be OneselfAuthentic LifeCreativity And MotivationalAging QuotesSeniorsAging WellCreativity And AttitudeSenior Citizens Author:Bud Harris
“When Dr. Jung said we must be able to look forward in old age to the next day and to look forward to the great adventure that is ahead, he was making life’s “imperative to grow” personal. As long as we are alive, we must be able to dream of the future, of a better world or better ways of life. We are also invited by our greater Self to dream new dreams of creativity and fresh ways of expressing ourselves, as many great artists have into their nineties.” CreativityAgingAuthenticitySelf ExpressionAuthentic SelfAging GracefullyAuthentic LivingAuthentic LifeCreativity And MotivationalAging QuotesSeniorsAging WellCreativity And AttitudeSenior Citizens Author:Bud Harris
