I've been aware of my own mortality since I was in my teens. I watched my dad slowly lose his and simply thought, "Oh, okay, I'm going to slowly lose my hair. I'm glad to know this now". Later as a teenager, I knew a number of the older members of my congregation and would listen to them as they described their earlier days when they had strength and vigor. I knew it would happen to me, and would be such a slow and gradual process it would seem invisible, until I woke up one day and realized, okay, I'm not middle aged, I'm old now. So, I resolved in my teens that I would grow old with dignity.
There is a difference in strength of body and strength of character. One you will lose, the other you will have forever if that is your will.
