“How will you live a meaningful life with the time you have remaining? What contributions are still important for you to make? What is the most important thing to remember as we move towards the end of our journey? Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best: ‘To leave the world a bit better, whether by healthy child, a garden patch, or redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived–that is to have succeeded.’
My hope for us is that our journey through the mysteries of the second half of life will provide a meaningful retrospective and compelling incentive to embrace elderhood with dignity, grace, wisdom and unlimited generativity. May we all remember that to leave the world a better place for future generations is to have lived a meaningful life, and to have succeeded.”
