This quote by Tony Robbins emphasizes that the essence of aging goes beyond mere numbers and years; it highlights the importance of physical and mental activity in maintaining vitality.

As a species, we're not only wired to choose today over tomorrow, but we hate to feel like we're losing out on something. The bottom line is, if we feel like we're losing something we avoid it, we won't do it. That's why so many people don't save and invest. Saving sounds like you're giving something up, you're losing something today. But you're not.

And if it doesn't seem like an interesting story, then that's the failure of the listener, or the journalist who retells it badly.
I don't know what to do. I only know that it's taken me years to understand that life was pushing me in a direction I didn't want to go in.
