We are put on this Earth to love, to learn, to grow, and perhaps to help make life a little easier for others. Each of us have the chance to leave our own unique stamp on the world.

My sentiments exactly!
You're certainly busy building a wonderful legacy with your writing, your kindness, teaching others the wonderful gift of meditation and that is just here on the blockchain; sure you do way more out in your own world.
Someone spoke of the importance of the dash between the year we're born and the year we die; I would hope my dash would have helped some of the people in my life realise their own self worth, that they need to follow their dreams and that they themselves have to ability to do it.
Lovely post Eric, thank you for being you!
PS the ageing happens way too fast, speeds up in fact as one gets older, ignore the degeneration of the joints, hearing, sight etc etc, we can always stay young at heart.
