The Irony of Age

Elaina.C

This picture shows the irony of age for humans.

(For most people. There are exceptions to every rule.)

Young people have all the time, all the energy, but no money.

Adults have all the energy, all the money, but no time.

Elderly people have all the money, all the time, but no energy.

This is how most people live their lives. Never having all three.

But the truth is, it doesn't have to be like this.

I said in the beginning of this that there are exceptions to every rule. 

This is even more true for this cruel "RULE" of life because it is not actually a rule.

It is a false rule made by us, made by society. 

So, how do we avoid being ensnared by this fake rule that is so powerful??

We have to start thinking outside of the box. We have to create our own rules and live by them. Stand by them when others try to pull you back to what they think is right because that is what they have been told. And they will try. 

The world is changing. Slowly, but surely. Day by day, thanks to the Internet, the world is starting to become more connected and people are becoming more educated and aware to what is really happening. 

Everyday, more and more people are getting fed up with having just 2 of the 3 key things.

Everyday, more and more people are branching out and finding new ways of living. New ways to live with all 3 key things.

Because, you can have money, energy, and time. All at the same time.

Request a lesson with me (English Conversation) and we can talk about how you have have all 3 key things at any age!!
