| We change society’s perceptions about aging when we change our own.Changing the culture of aging in an extremely ageist society is a monumental challenge. The only way we’ll achieve real change is when we, as individuals, begin to change our own way of thinking — when we prove to ourselves that we can continue to move, when we perpetually reinvent ourselves no matter our age and when we choose to serve others when society believes we’re at an age when we’re only meant to be taken care of. It’s then that we change the culture of aging. |
