Oldest Man Dies at 113.

Setting a new standard for what we, as human beings, can learn to expect in life expectancy and longevity.I am a personal believer that we decide how long we will live and when we will leave to a very large degree. I also believe that death before 100 years of age or so is usually in some way some form of suicide.Let me explain….We are molded by the beliefs of our parents, or those that influenced us, in our formative years. Whatever is instilled in us during those years will influence the core belief of our life’s expectations as we head out into the world.Once we reach a certain point, this being early teens for some or all the way to “never” for others, we start to shed the influences that are counter-productive to our Life.Life is not easy. It has a way of presenting challenges to you over and over again. That is the point. If it were easy, we would all get very bored, very quickly. We are a species that need to be motivated. Discomfort is one of the best motivators. When things get uncomfortable enough, we will “move”.It is just instinct.Now, if we realize this, we can then create a pathway in which we are making better and better decisions. One choice at a time, we can choose the things that are pro to our life. For some, this awakening happens slowly. For others it happens in a split second. In the case of the gentleman who passed yesterday at the age of 113, he had lost his wife in 1970. His children followed. He was waiting to die. But then something or someone inspired him to contribute to the understanding of the sacrifices that he and his comrades made for this world in their service in WWI.The will to live was once again sparked and he continued on for many more productive years.So…..”Will” is a motivator to making the correct chooses for prolonging your life.On the premise that you are born healthy, I believe that your life expectancy can be far greater than ever imagined.We hasten our own demise in many ways. It can be excesses in areas such as tobacco, alcohol, food, drugs, & stress. It may be that through the circumstances in which you have created for yourself, you are very bored with it all, or just plain tired. Some people have just had enough and can not handle the complexities of this world. Take, for example, Michael Jackson.

What part do genes play?

Not as much as we were lead to believe, according to the latest reports. Our own cells and DNA respond more directly to the thought energy that we feed them every day.“Something to live for” seems to be a bigger motivator than inherited DNA traits. I have always stated that I believe that Life Expectancy for Human Beings is at the very least 120 years, if we learn to make extremely correct choices about how we live and what we eat and things that we put into our bodies and, most importantly, what we think, at an early age. The oldest woman in the world today was quoted yesterday. She said she reached 108 years old because of her positive attitude.I will accept that in 3 ½ years, at the age of 60, I will be entering “middle age”. I accept it because that is my belief. It resonates as true to me.I fully intend to use this body to live completely and wonderfully right up until the moment it dies. No long dramatic goodbyes for me.And at 120 years or so, when it has been completely and thoroughly used up, I will escape it in a split second and join the energy field from whence I came. Oh, by the way, if I do come back, it will be as a very well cared for Maltese dog, for they are most certainly the “Angels” on Earth!
