"When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need."
—Tao Te Ching
In this TED residency talk, Bob Stein reveals his transition into using a new ritual to mark his later life. He proposes a new tradition of giving away your things and sharing the stories behind them as you get older, to reflect on your life so far, open conversations and connections that might not happen otherwise and move into the next phase prepared for whatever might come next.
Is there an item with a story that you could pass on to someone else? Something that might connect to their life? Pass it on with the story.
