Older and Wiser

It’s a widely accepted belief that as we grow older, we automatically become wiser. Wisdom isn’t just about intelligence or knowledge; it’s about applying what we’ve learned through experience, understanding human Emotions, and making sound judgments. Some older Baby Boomers seem incredibly wise, while others in our generation don’t necessarily display the deep insight we associate with wisdom. Our Experts in this area of the site talk about getting older and whether Aging guarantees wisdom.

Not all older people become wise. If we have a lack of self-reflection and don’t take the time to analyze our mistakes and successes, we won’t grow wiser. If we refuse to learn new things or consider different perspectives, we may not gain wisdom. If we fall into bad habits or cycles by repeating the same mistakes, we grow older but not wiser. So, as we grow older, we may think that aging provides opportunities to become smarter, but being old does not guarantee anything. At every age, we must be willing to learn, reflect and grow.

There’s something magical about grandparents. The moment you walk into their home, you feel it — the warmth, comfort, and the unconditional love. You smell the aroma of food that only they can cook just right, you hear stories you’ve probably heard a dozen times but still love, and you see that familiar twinkle in their eyes. If you are lucky enough to still have your grandparents around, it reflects what time, love, and life experience look like in human form. The “silver” represents the wisdom, the years, the lessons learned, and the grace that comes with age. The “gold” signif…

A couple of years ago, at 60, I didn’t even know I’d want to try a pull-up, let alone monkey bars. I’ve worked out all my life in some form, but this wasn’t on my bingo card. Now I’m doing both, turning 63 in August, and I’m having a blast. I weight train three times a week, still practice yoga at home a few times a week, too, mostly for the spiritual and emotional benefits. And most days, I do a few pull-ups at home, even if it’s just one or two here and there. I only recently added monkey bars. And let me tell you: monkey bars are not nothing. They take grip, shoulders, lat…
