Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
How you think about ageing determines how you age. The choices you make — daily, deliberately, without waiting for anyone’s permission — are the single greatest factor in whether your later years diminish you or deepen you. This is not wishful thinking. This is not motivational rhetoric. This is what I believe, teach, and live […]

Vintage chooses not to. A life fully lived means a life fully felt and expressed—the sorrow as well as the joy, the loss as well as the love, the headline that breaks your heart over morning coffee, alongside the sunrise that restores it. Notre Dame burning. A genocide. A despot’s cruelty. A terrorist’s senseless violence. […]

A Swedish sociologist, Lars Tornstam, spent decades studying what happens to people as they age. What he found surprised the academic world. Aging, he argued, is not decline. It is expansion. A natural, profound shift from ego-driven living toward something deeper, wider, and more soulful. He called it gerotranscendence. I respect his work enormously. And, […]

There is a philosophy I live by. I call it Sagerism. It begins with a refusal to say I’m old. I’m getting too old. Age is not kind. Ageing is tough. Not because those words are entirely untrue — but because they are merely incomplete. They tell only half the story. And the half they […]

There’s a story society loves to tell about aging. It goes like this: you peak, you plateau, you fade. You have your moment, and then you make room. Step back. Let the younger ones through. I don’t believe that story. And neither do some of the most extraordinary people who ever lived. I call them […]

Someone stood in the caves of Lascaux, France, thousands of years ago and painted. No audience. No certainty anyone would ever see it. No way of knowing that one day people would travel from every corner of the world to stand before those walls in breathless, reverent silence and awe. They painted anyway. With skill. […]

Technically, you are not an artifact. And, you are. Artifacts are inanimate objects made or modified by human hands, studied by archaeologists to understand cultures that came before. Tools, pottery, mummies. Not people. Not yet breathing. But here’s where it gets interesting. On Philosophy Stack Exchange, someone once asked: Can a human being be considered […]

I’m not denying. Not running from… Ageing. I’m exploring and living it with curiosity, imagination, purpose and a certain creative delight. Because ageing is real, it’s part of all our lives, and there is something about it that culture must further discover and define. So I’m expanding it. Deepening it. Adding a word alongside it […]

There is a quote I return to often. “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” Carl Jung wrote that. And it is one of the most liberating sentences ever written. Jung believed aging is not decline — it is direction. That the second half of life is not a slow […]

At 74, I know something most younger people spend enormous energy avoiding: time is finite. And oddly enough, knowing that — really knowing it — is one of the most liberating things that has ever happened to me. The shift for me wasn’t dramatic. There was no crisis, no dark night of the soul. I […]
