So here is my invitation to you. Stop worrying about whether people are
listening to your advice. They probably are not.

Worry about whether they are watching your life. Because they definitely
are.

Be kind when it is easier to be grumpy.
Be patient when it is easier to snap.
Be brave when it is easier to hide.
Show up when it is easier to stay home.

And do not worry about the ones who call you lucky. They are not your
audience.

Your audience is the one person who is watching quietly, (your grandchild, your neiibours friend, your youngest child) learning
silently, and getting ready to take their own first step because they saw you
take yours.

That is why you keep going.

That is why being a senior is not a retreat from leadership.

It is the purest form of it.
