"3rd Act Journey" YouTube Channel

 

"A society grows great when ELDERS plants trees whose shade they will never enjoy."

This is my modification of an ancient Greek saying that serves as a slogan for my new YouTube channel: "3rd Act Journey." I think the tree motif works well with connotating wisdom achieved through a long life.

Nebraska’s state nickname before the “Cornhusker State” was the “Tree Planter’s State.” Settlers coming to the prairie were ambitious in planting trees because they had a vision for a better life. It is for this reason that this state is the home of Arbor Day.

The seniors in our society have the responsibility to use their wisdom and perspective to begin initiating changes for which future generations will benefit, something very similar to tree planting.

For this reason, my organization Elder Lives and its YouTube channel 3rd Act Journey use images of trees to represent the needed long-term solutions.

The next step in my journey is to develop my online media and engage in speaking opportunities, as well as write a book to share my vision, engaging and inspiring others to have a purpose of creating a better future.
