I think there is something we intuitively understand – that as we mature we should seek spiritual growth in anticipation of an old age filled with enlightenment.*
Arthur Brooks

Our lives are lived in seasons of more, seasons of less, seasons of triumph, seasons of loss. Each season sees our needs change. We live, learn, and adapt. So, too, must our definition of meaning.**
Ryder Carroll

To intentionally live towards an old age
filled with wisdom,
To respectfully and attentively live within
the seasons of life, and in these to
find our meaning for life,
To so live not for ourselves but for others,
To learn from the wasted years, so that
we might enter the present moment more
energised and useful,
To find our meaning and joy
within the struggle –
All of this is doable.
