As you continue these exercises, certain indicators will mark your success as an elder in training. You will feel more energy and a renewed zest for life as you practice forgiveness and recontextualize difficult and disappointing experiences, finding the pearl of wisdom within them. . . .You will meet people with a more open heart, and they will meet you with greater respect as the sage begins to peek out through your eyes. . . . Be gentle with yourself and lighten up your expectations as to what kind of elder you “should” be. (p. 269)
