What an inspiring speech by Roy Valentine at the ABC gathering in Sydney in celebration of his father James.
‘How do you want to live?

This is a vastly different question to -
What do you want to do with your life?
What do you want to be?
What do you want to achieve?
-all of which leave most teenagers full of anxiety.
But
How do you want to live? allows many answers-
I want to live adventurously.
I want to live safely.
I want to live in the company of lovely human beings….and dogs.
I want to live surrounded by music.
I want to live with good food, health and friendship.
I want to play games.
I want to make things that bring joy to me and others.
IT is a much better question.
