Some lessons the younger generation can learn from seniors

For many people, retirement is the time to reflect on what truly makes you happy. Because seniors have decades of experience, they can offer great insight and advice into what’s most important in life.
So, here’s what the older generation would say to the younger generation if they could tell them only one thing…


*Follow your Dreams*
One of the most important lessons to remember is to always follow your dreams. Living life with regrets only creates unhappiness, and it can cause people to feel as if they have missed out on an opportunity. It is important to take advantage of all opportunities so you can find peace and live the life that you've always dreamed for yourself.

*Find your Truth*
Staying completely true to yourself is another important piece of advice that seniors have for younger generations. There was a statement made by seniors in Time magazine that said… “Do not hesitate to switch interests, majors or fields of concentration. Find your preference of your passion, then focus on it to your heart’s content.”

*Be open to Change*
Flexibility is extremely important if you want to live a happy, healthy life. Life is a huge mix of good days and bad days, and the key to staying happy is knowing that it can all change in a second. Always remember that some days it will rain and pour, but it’s pointless to worry about it.

*Care for Others*
While it’s important to focus on your own happiness, it’s also valuable to spread joy and happiness to others. In fact, there are reports that show that volunteering is not only good for the community, but also great for your own well-being. Give back to your loved ones and neighbours by volunteering at a retirement home or hospital – you get more love when you give back.
