If you had the energy of youth along with the wisdom of age, how do you think your life would (or will) be different?

I went yesterday to the bedside of a friend’s daughter, 23 years old who fell and hit her head and was now in a coma, waiting for an organ recipient so they could remove her heart and of course, her life would then end.

I’m in my early 50’s and pondering life, youth, death, and all that stuff. Much of the advice I find myself giving my daughter are things my mom told me when I was young.

Fortunately for me, my life so far has been pretty good. It might have been better, still, if I took a different path, or I may not have been so lucky.

I have been thinking if we could have the energy and vigor of youth along with the wisdom of age, it would be the ultimate.

If you had the energy and vigor of youth along with the wisdom that (for most, hopefully) comes with age, how would your life be different? Might you have chosen a different path?
