Being alive at any age has a lot to do with your attitude. What Im talking about is an attitude toward life and the people around you that is caring. Let me give you an example of what I mean
.

Back in the days when the knights of old were spurring their horses toward unknown horizons, they had an attitude, that is, a sincere desire to be honest, courteous and generous with farmers as well as kings as they roamed the countryside in search of adventure. In short, their attitude became recognized as what we now call: chivalrous.

You and I can consciously decide what kind of an attitude well have during our very busy, modern twenty-first century days. Should we decide to be chilvalrous, then, as we travel through each daily adventure where we socialize, meet and communicate with family, friends and the people at work our chivalrous, caring attitude will be noticed. The people around us will recognize that we are: unique, different and in many ways very much alive.

Fact is, aliveness has everything to do with the way you both see yourself and the way others see you. We need to show an interest in whats going on around us. We do this by paying close attention to the words and feelings of others as we really listen to what they tell us. In this way, we will become very much aware of being caught up and carried along as active participants in a life worth living.< br>

As creative humans our natural adventure seeking, questioning attitude and deep interest in life around us can give us many benefits. The greatest of which is our happiness and great joy in being alive at any age.
