Super agers approach aging with optimism and determination from "summary" of Super Aging by Jeff Cory
Super agers are individuals who defy the conventional wisdom that aging is synonymous with decline. They have a unique outlook on life that sets them apart from their peers. Rather than resigning themselves to the inevitability of physical and cognitive deterioration as they age, super agers approach the process of growing older with a sense of optimism and determination. This mindset is a key factor in their ability to maintain high levels of physical, mental, and emotional well-being well into their later years. Optimism plays a crucial role in the lives of super agers. They believe that age is just a number and refuse to let it dictate their capabilities or limitations. Instead of dwelling on the negative aspects of aging, they focus on the opportunities and possibilities that each new day brings. This positive attitude helps them navigate the challenges that come with getting older and enables them to adapt to changing circumstances with grace and resilience. In addition to optimism, determination is another defining characteristic of super agers. They possess a strong sense of purpose and are committed to living life to the fullest, regardless of their age. This determination drives them to stay active, both physically and mentally, and to continuously seek out new experiences and challenges. They are not content to simply coast through their later years; instead, they actively pursue growth and self-improvement in all aspects of their lives. Super agers understand that aging is a natural part of life and that it is up to each individual to determine how they will experience it. By approaching aging with optimism and determination, they are able to defy the stereotypes and limitations that society often imposes on older adults. Their ability to maintain a positive outlook and a strong sense of purpose sets them apart from their peers and allows them to enjoy vibrant, fulfilling lives well into their later years.
