Radical Acceptance: The New 80 Is Still 80

 This year the oldest of the boomers, including myself, are turning 80 years old. Is this the new 80? 

Sure, there are new aspects. For example, given our family histories, many of us wouldn't have anticipated still being alive at 80. More of us are working for income. Some of us are expert at technologies such as AI.

But, overall, for the human species, 80 is still 80. Most often an aging professional will come for a tarot reading to sort out the disappointment that they can no longer approach work like they used to. For example, they can't put in the long hours. If an early riser, by 3 PM they're exhausted. In addition, they wonder, since crises in work raise their blood pressure, if they will have to hang it up. One did hang it up because of challenges managing diabetes.

For the generation whose members changed the rules in Americana these realities are a shocker. And for those realities - that's where what's known as "radical acceptance" kicks in. Demystified, that spiritual concept essentially means surrendering to what can't be changed. What an 80-year-old human body and mind are involve plenty of non-negotiables. 

In myriad spiritual communities there's the old-line mantra: Surrender to win. In the tarot that's symbolized by The Chariot card.

In The Chariot, there's a going along with what is. It's counterintuitive but that ensures moving along in the right direction. And doing that without unnecessary stress. 

Some of us might even discover we can continue our careers longer if we embrace the growing limitations. For example, traveling far for business now zaps me. Once I put boundaries on the miles I have been able to invest more time in developing local opportunities. The results have been excellent.
