Longevity Is Tied To Doing
Last weekend Clara wanted to spin and jump on the ice. She’d only been skating for the second time in her young life.
Having seen another woman accomplish these feats live, right in front of her, she envisioned herself just as accomplished.
So, I said to her, ‘Clara, you have to learn how to skate first.’
She replied, ‘Mommy, I don’t WANT to learn, I want to skate.’
Then, for the rest next hour, Clara tried spinning – veerry slowly. First with our help, then by herself. Obviously the word learn didn’t appeal to her. She wanted to get right down into the dirt and do it. Very Clara, and very childlike.
This determination and freedom appeals to me. Though I’m not against the word learn per se, the word ‘do’ does appeal more.
Thing is, people who keep doing, i.e. learning, live longer lives. It’s the one factor researchers around the world consistently agree on. In fact, doing/learning is more important than any other factor when determining the length and quality of your life.
When offered the opportunity to do something new, most won’t grab. Some might take a half-hearted stab. Sad but true.
It’s why I enjoy hanging around young children. Their endless curiosity is infectious and inspiring. We want Clara to keep her determination and joy in tact – forever. Her innocent questions keep us smiling AND thinking very clearly.
I myself am only interested and attracted to others who HAVE this inner sense of wondrous curiosity and urge to do/learn. They’ve got an energy that’s incredibly infectious. These people’s eyes sparkle, their spoken words have punch and focus behind them, and their joy is a natural, every-day ingredient.
It goes without saying that they clearly love what their doing and learning. It’s for those people I created the Sounds of Gold New Year’s Special. To recap:
