Have you ever noticed that some people age well, becoming older with grace and dignity, looking vibrant and alive and remaining physically and mentally active well into old age? Frank Lloyd Wright, quoted above, was still designing when he passed on at 92.

Others, it seems, begin getting old in their youth. What makes the difference?

Why is such a large portion of our society aging so poorly? Why are hospitals and nursing homes overcrowded and many older people just barely alive?

Is this a natural progression or can we actually alter the way we age?

The Bible teaches us that we have a natural life expectancy of 120 – 150 years. Many of the people written about in the Old Testament lived to be over one hundred, and in some parts of the world today, entire villages live well beyond one hundred years of age.

It’s not how long you live; it’s how you live long

What are the secrets of a long and productive life and what can you do about it? More importantly, how can you live your life to the fullest, enjoying an abundance of health, wealth, and happiness? How can you make the most of your life, for however long you are here?

How can you live, laugh, and love more? What steps can you take, starting now, to achieve the best level of health and fitness you are capable of reaching? How can you get back in touch with your dreams and desires and begin to experience them? How can you learn to age with passion, purpose, power, and prosperity?

In Don’t Let an Old Person Move Into Your Body, you will be asked to reevaluate and question the preconceived notions you have about aging and the commonly accepted beliefs about health. You will be asked to examine your attitudes and beliefs and come to understand the important role they play in how we age. You will learn ways to age without becoming old.

You’ll be introduced to people who have aged successfully and learn their strategies. You will learn about the latest developments in the field of longevity and identify ways you can minimize, even slow, the process of aging. You will create a compelling vision for your future and a plan for a long, active, and prosperous life.

I invite you to join me in this exciting journey into aging and learn how you, too, can develop your personal plan of aging with passion, purpose, power and prosperity, and make sure you don’t let an old person move into your body.

It is your God-given birthright to have a life of joy, happiness, health, love, fun, prosperity, excitement, abundance, and all the other wonderful things life on earth has to offer. To accept less is to shortchange yourself and your loved ones.

Don’t Let an Old Person Move Into Your Body has been developed from the work that I have done in live seminars and workshops as well as with individual clients. Please complete the simple actions as they have been created to help you design a future that will enable you to make the rest of your life, the best of your life.

As with any book, do not simply accept what is written. Test it for yourself and take from it only that which feels right for you. After all, this is your life.

Please keep in mind, throughout this book, that within you is the power to change your life.

If you have read any of my other books, you know I don’t write about theory. I write from my own experiences. I know with absolute certainty that the principles, techniques and ideas presented here work, because I have used them to change my own life from one of misery and depression, to living today what I can only describe as a truly magical life. I continue to apply these principles daily as my own life continues to expand and I enjoy even more of the joy and beauty that surrounds us.

I am truly blessed. When I pass a homeless person on the street, I always say a prayer for the unfortunate person as well as a prayer of gratitude, for I understand deeply the phrase “There but for the grace of God, go I.”

I have lived in depression and, at more than one point in my life, I was without a place to call home. I have been at the bottom, gone without food for days at a time, lived in poverty, and sold most of my possessions.

I’ve slept in cars and spent endless hours sitting on park benches for lack of anywhere else to go. I’ve walked the streets of New York City, hoping to find enough loose change to buy a pack of cigarettes, which gave new meaning to the phrase, “I’d walk a mile for a Camel.”

I do not share these stories to gain your sympathy, for it was all a result of my own doing. I do not share this to be unique for there are many people whose lives have experienced more pain than I can ever imagine. I share this with you, my friend, so that you will understand that no matter where you are right now, you have within you the power to create the life you were born to live.

My life today is magical. I have a loving wife, abundant health and a wonderful home in one of the most beautiful parts of the United States. I am surrounded by nature. And I have all the material possessions that I could possibly want, but more importantly, my life has purpose. I am privileged to spend my time writing books and being able to share what I have learned with others.

My books have been sold throughout the world and I am fortunate to have been able to touch the lives of many, many people in a positive way.
