"Letting go is one of the hardest and most important things to learn how to do in the entire world. This is true in terms of letting go of things that no longer serve us, letting go of relationships, letting go when people die, letting go of certain goals, letting go of preconceived timelines for life milestones, letting go of smaller irritations so they don't contaminate our time, etc."
"Do something creative every single day. This need not be about making art but about making anything in daily life a more creative endeavor. Creativity will change your life and how you see the world. Try once a week to do, or go to, or see something you never have before. Travel however you can, even if it is a few miles away."
"Love stories have their own timeline for appearing in one's life, and sometimes the truer ones emerge later on. You truly have to like and value yourself to be of any use in relationships and in the world. Have friends of all different ages. It will widen your perspective and help you appreciate the life course. For example, I have friends ranging from age 20-93! It's the best."
Love often arrives on its own timeline, and deeper partnerships can emerge later in life. Genuine self-liking and self-worth are prerequisites for healthy relationships and meaningful contribution. Regular physical movement, such as walking, supports well-being. Learning to let go of possessions, relationships, expectations, and small irritations preserves time and emotional energy. Daily creativity—whether artistic or applied to everyday tasks—shifts perspective and enriches experience. Trying something new weekly, even nearby, expands horizons. Cultivating friendships across ages deepens understanding of life stages. Mastering a few cooking or baking skills sustains nourishment and social connection.
