I believe so much in the quote (Nietzsche through Victor Frankl) "He who has a Why can bear almost any How", so Yay! for soul-searching.
When I talk with my friends who are getting older, where and how do we want to live, how are we going to spend our time, etc., I always start with the "who am I? why am I here? what am I passionate about?" type of questions. As long as I can have answers for myself, they can inform all of those other decisions.
Also loved the 'choosing a college' analogy. Big fish/small pond, small fish/big pond kind of thing.
Our band regularly plays senior centers and I'm always appreciative of the variety of people there. You can see the different types represented: quite but appreciative, singing along, even getting up to dance. I hope that diversity continues to flourish as more people decide where they want to spend their time.
thanks for the in-depth comment, Mike!
I couldn't agree more!
Hope all is well.
