Daring to Be Different

Did you know that Baby Boomers are a unique generation?

We’ve experienced the first man on the moon, Woodstock, female supreme court judges, the first black American president,personal computers, and so many technological advances I couldn’t begin to name them.  We’ve seen things come and go like 8 track tapes and BetaMax videos and we’ve ushered in things that were only imagined in science fiction novels.

So it shouldn’t surprise us that, as a generation, Baby Boomers face aging differently than any generation before us as well.

Thanks to advances in medicine, we’re more aware of the importance of nutrition and exercise in keeping ourselves healthy as we get older.  We also know that it’s important to exercise our minds as well as our bodies and video game manufacturer’s are now offering us games that will help keep our minds sharp too. Some of us have embraced things like plumping injections and plastic surgery to match our appearance with our youthful outlook.

But perhaps one of the most important differences in our generation is our understanding that we can age, without necessarily getting old.

We’re not afraid to learn new things and take on new experiences because we don’t let the number of candles on our most recent birthday cake dictate what we can and can’t do.  No longer do we see age as a hindrance to following our dreams.

Whether it’s learning to fly an airplane or paint a landscape, we tend to embrace lifelong learning and seek to truly experience life, not just live it.
