go find something that makes the soul sing.
That's the best advice there is.
Being the age I am now I really feel bad for the older relatives in their 70's and 80's because they're just ignored, for the most part and warehoused in senior homes and developments. I've often thought how wise it would be to develop neighborhoods with a mix of young families and the elderly. The two age groups would help each other tremendously.
My two cents for the younger generation would be—1) Learn to be comfortable being alone; and 2) become your own best friend. These two things can prevent you from making some big mistakes.
Am I following my soul? I try my best to do this.
