I’ve always thought that my 89-year old mother and 96-year-old father have won the biggest lottery of all—an extended life. Now I need to view my life journey in a similar fashion. Appreciating the aging process makes us feel good about ourselves.

Quiet the Ego with Meditation
Meditation quiets the ego, which is naturally biased toward negativity. As we learned in previous chapters, meditation is an effective activity to touch your spirit, which in turn gives off positive vibes. Meditation helps us withdraw attention from stressful, negative patterns we’ve created over time.
