When you look back on it, when you sit back and reflect on it, when you sip the wine at the end of the journey, will you smile. Not in some showy way. Not in some ego driven way. Not in some shallow…how many toys did you acquire way…but in a very personal, living this gift fully, honestly, with empathy and compassion way.
Tipping your hat to yourself and being able to say…well done. You made your family's life a little lighter. You lived up to your potential. You did not shy away from the risks in life. You did not cheat yourself out of your full measure. You did not let anyone else define you. You told your story by living your life completely.
You kept learning. You kept studying the human condition. You helped. You smiled in the dark times. You gave yourself a break when it did not play out as planned.
You patiently waited for the storm to pass.
Age. Don't let it define you.
You define what it means to you.
Rewrite the meaning of it in your life.
An ageless experiment.
