Think about this way. Zero to 21 is springtime. Things are easy to grow in springtime. You

don't have to do that much. Growing as a kid happens naturally. But overall, life is supporting

you. It's sending you, teaching you, sharing with you. Now, when you get from, you know,

21 to 41 or 22 to 42, whatever range you want to talk about, you now are in the real world.

And now you go test what you learned in your springtime. So you start to learn, test,

figure out what's real. That's an important stage of life. 42, 43 to 62, 63 is the power

of your life. If you work hard in the spring and the summer and you put yourself out there

and you plant it, it's a reaping time. It's a time when you really become a leader. And

if you're lucky, you go from 63 to 83 and maybe 83 to 103 and you have an extended final

season of your life where you get to be the mentor you get to share. You get to make a difference.

And maybe towards the end of your life, people look out for you again. If you looked out for

everybody else, that's kind of the cycle of life. What if you're born in 1910? War one ends.

The world looks like it's a great place. New technology, cars, radio. And then what happens?

An explosion of abundance, the roaring 20s. And so you're a kid. You're 14, 15 years old. And

you're like, I can't wait to get a car to go. But what happened when that person hit the next

stage of life 19, 20, 21 years old, as they came of age, it's 19, 29. And suddenly, people jumping

out of buildings, total depression, dust bowl, nobody's got jobs. It looks horrific. And it was

horrific. But then did they get a break? No. When they turned 29, it's 1939.

It looked like the whole world was going to end. Hitler was sweeping across Europe,

bombing London. It literally looked like the rules we know was over.

This is what gives me great optimism for everyone watching here.

Winters not forever. No pandemic lives forever. Everything changes. And everything ends.
