We’re meant to learn in both directions.
From the ones who came before us—
who carry weathered truths,
who know what lasts,
who teach through presence more than performance.
And from the ones just arriving—
who see the world with unfiltered eyes,
who question what we forgot to,
who move with a rhythm we’re still trying to hear.
Wisdom isn’t about age.
It’s about openness.
I’ve learned that the older generation teaches you how to slow down,
how to hold pain with grace,
how to listen more than speak.
And the younger generation?
They remind you how to adapt.
How to unlearn.
How to stay curious when everything changes—fast.
One gives you roots.
The other gives you stretch.
And somewhere in the middle,
you find balance.
A way to be timeless without being stuck.
A way to stay relevant without racing.
Let the elders ground you.
Let the youth awaken you.
Let both shape who you’re still becoming.
That’s the Cushy way.
