In many ways, the physical dimension of life becomes less important as the soul enlarges. In my late twenties, I was astonished by the elders with whom I began to spend most of my professional time - how vivacious so many of them were, once I looked beyond my negative bias.

You will find your way. Don't be afraid of getting stuck in some of the necessary compromises. Learn everything you can from each experience, even if something seems irrelevant to your true purpose.

With grown children, we can look back at both our mistakes and what we did well in our parenting, having conversations with a greater degree of honesty than was possible before. In getting older themselves, our adult children may begin to comprehend the burdens and strengths we carried from our own parents.

Stay open and curious, and realize that the best is yet to come.

The older we get, the less prone we are to putting off what we really want to do, therefore you will be able to seek out new directions later.

The real action is interior - all the growth that cannot be seen externally and to which we tend to have little access until we have experienced it ourselves.
