With age, your physical agility may go down; your aliveness need not go down.

Maybe you are not able to do what someone else is able to do – so what. You do what you can do in the best possible way, and that is all that matters in life.

If your work is about creating something that you truly care for, there is no need to balance work and life – life is work and work is life.  

If you stop identifying with things that you are not, your mind will become still. That's all it takes to meditate.

Giving up is not an option because it is a brief life.
