Getting old is inevitable so we might as well do it with as much joy as possible. I think so much of this pressure comes out of fear. Fear of change, fear of death, fear of so many things associated with growing older. If we begin to change the image of aging and show positive and inspiring examples of men and women leading active and creative lives, hopefully our understanding and attitudes towards growing older will change. 94-year-old Ilona Royce Smithkin says in the Advanced Style Movie that she only started to feel self confident and truly joyful in her 80s, when she began to let go of her insecurities and need for perfection. We should all strive to be like Ilona! (Weve posted about Advanced Style before, this is a new interview with its founder.)
