Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
One of the most precious legacies you can leave the world is that you were happy. “She was a happy person.” “He was a happy person.” Simple words. Profound impact. When we think about legacy, we often imagine accomplishments, wealth, or achievements—things we did. But happiness as legacy is about who we were in the […]

When did we decide that growing older meant growing smaller and backing off? You have the courage and experience to challenge the status quo about your value. You don’t need to follow outdated norms about what aging means. Instead, create change. Establish new recognition. Speak up. Reject the limiting phrase that shuts down possibility: “This […]

If you’re mature, you’ve probably heard the complaints: “It’s time for fresh blood,” “Step aside for the younger generation,” or “We need new perspectives.” The term behind this attitude is “gerontocracy”- rule by elders – and it has become a lightning rod in today’s increasingly age-obsessed culture. Gerontocracy simply means a system where older people […]

I discovered this African proverb recently, and it has moved me profoundly: “When an old person dies, a library burns to the ground.” I thought about these words for a long time, and I see them as absolutely true. They honor the immense, accumulated knowledge and life experience that exists within every older person, regardless […]

Some people don’t have a degree or a string of titles and credentials that others may need, so they can see you as important and known. Not having specific branding does not lessen your value.
