2 Minute Aging Antidote

Journal the lesson you learn each day.  

WHY

At lunch today a fellow professional speaker, Marie Pollack,

talked about how she developed a habit of journaling what

she learned each day. I asked myself why I had never thought of this.

Because of Marie’s example, I started a daily lesson journal.

I haven’t kept a diary or journal as I imagined it would

just log mundane events. However, the two minutes it takes

to log the day’s lesson is a great antidote to aging.

It prods you to look for the good and for the lesson.

Learning something new each day is a great way to stay young.

Learning a lesson every day is even better. If you learn more than

300 lessons a year, you are destined to be a very wise person.

Will they all be keepers? If only ten percent seem profound

next year, you still have about three dozen a year.

How does one become a family patriarch or matriarch?

Learning hundreds of lessons a year makes you a natural.

Want to pass on a legacy to children, grandchildren, or others?

How many people learn several hundred lessons each year?

An insight is usually but a fleeting idea unless it is captured on paper.
What could be a simpler way to stay young, positive, and see the
big picture than logging a lesson a day? Writing is one of the best

antidotes to aging I know.

QUOTES

Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first,
the lesson afterward.

~How to be a Winner, This Week, 14 August 1940

The diary is an art form just as much as the novel or the play.
The diary simply requires a greater canvas.

~Henry Miller

The biggest lesson I have ever learned is the stupendous importance
of what we think. If I knew what you think, I would know what you are,
for your thoughts make you what you are; by changing our thoughts,
we can change our lives.
