Internal youthfulness

Aging is a natural process, while physical features may change, internal youthfulness can be preserved through one’s mindset and emotions. Aging is often perceived based on external appearances, yet our mental attitude and our faith in God plays a crucial role in maintaining a youthful spirit. 

To have internal youthfulness, we need to have a positive mindset basing on our faith, healthy relationships, and optimism which are key factors in keeping the heart and mind young. Negative emotions, such as impatience or sadness, can weigh heavily on one’s emotional state, leading to a sense of aging from within. 

Although the physical signs of aging are unavoidable, it is possible to remain young at heart by strenghening our faith, helping the needy and cultivating positive thoughts and emotions.
