As people get older they start losing abilities that they once possessed such as flexibility and vision. Another loss not as obvious is their sense of being infallible.

When young you believe you will live forever. Since you are infallible you may take chances that are dangerous. Usually, your youthful skills, plus a little luck, help you survive.

Feeling infallible stars drifting away as you approach age 40. You realize that you no longer can do some of the things you once did with ease.

As you age, you become aware that you are no longer infallible regarding your health. The chest pain that you experienced 10 years ago was interpreted as a pulled muscle. Now, you worry about it being a heart attack.

But it is important that you learn how to adapt to living your life when you lose the “in” in infallible.

Being fallible means that you become more careful, take better care of yourself, and think before you act.
