And I\u2019ve never really had an answer to be honest, not because I\u2019m perfect or haven\u2019t made any mistakes. Because, well I\u2019m human &#8211; who hasn\u2019t?! But more because I think life is an experience, you have to go through the motions &#8211; both highs and lows &#8211; to really understand yourself and the ethereal \u201cI think therefore I am\u201d. Perhaps that\u2019s advice in its self: experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also don\u2019t think there\u2019s any particular age that makes you worthy of dishing out life advice. I fundamentally believe in the quote \u201cyou never quit until you stop trying\u201d. I want to learn all through the ages, not just get to a certain defined age where I \u201cshould\u201d know everything. Life should be dynamic, unpredictable, and most importantly for a purpose: to learn and experience to enrich your being.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all sounds very wooly &#8211; and cringe &#8211; but that&#8217;s my only thoughts and advice; you really just have to experience it yourself. We all perceive and experience things differently, one size does not fit all. In the words of the 21st century &#8220;you do you&#8221;.
