Act Your Age? Says Who?”

“Act your age”—what does that even mean anymore?

Age is a number we assign to the body, not the soul. Your spirit doesn’t follow a calendar. It doesn’t hit milestones. It just is. And yet, we’ve spent generations using “act your age” as a tool of control—an invisible measuring stick with no real standard. I’ve seen grown adults throw tantrums, and kids drop wisdom that could stop you in your tracks. So who’s really setting the benchmark?

Maybe that phrase was never meant to guide, but to limit. To keep us in line. To keep things predictable. But here’s the truth: the world doesn’t need more people playing roles. It needs more people living from the soul.

Freedom begins when we stop living on autopilot, chasing some prize that someone else defined. What if we honored the journey instead? What if the “prize” was never something to earn, but something to remember—who we were before we were told who to be?

Call it California thinking, call it woo-woo—but maybe the “cuckoo” stuff is what actually makes sense.

It’s time to ditch the script and live from within. That’s where the real age-less magic happens.
