I watched Jumanji on Thursday and one important takeaway from that was from (Danny Devito's character) Eddie: "Getting old is a gift. I forget that sometimes". Eddie was always complaining about getting old. His body didn’t work the same way. His friends moved on and he felt alone. After his time in Jumanji, Eddie came out with a new perspective. Getting old wasn’t so bad. Getting old could be seen as a gift. The fact of this world is that we all get old. We age and our bodies and minds change. We can see this like Eddie did at the beginning of Jumanji or we can see getting old as Eddie did at the end of Jumanji. Getting old doesn’t have to be a curse. Getting old can be a gift. You will have more experience and wisdom than you did when you were younger. You can contribute more to those around you. See getting old as a gift. I like this perspective... Whoop to getting old and gaining more wisdom 🥳
