With age, not only my body slows, my personality slows also but no, it is not aging that slows me, age gives me more wisdom. it is meditation that slows me down as a person. I become more thoughtful, more cautious, more quiet and reserved.

I was not ever thus, I was known to be impulsive, with little self-control or discipline but now as I get older, I could feel like an inner voice counseling me. When I get too elated over gaining something, or possible attaining to something, my inner voice would counsel, “Stay humble, go slow, it is not yours yet. Pride can dispel it. Stay humble, abide your time and it will be yours.” It is so true, noise can dispel so many things and pride is noise while humility is silence. This brings to my mind the saying, pride comes before a fall and the meek/humble shall own the land. In life, often there is everything to gain from humility and everything to lose from pride.
