Along the Pathway: From Hearth to Willth

A Journey of Growth, Wisdom, and Impact for Your 60s?

For engagement, curiosity, and conversations

These five words are path stones you lay with an intention for attention!

Stone 1: The Hearth (The Starting Point)

“The hearth is where it all begins.”

The hearth symbolizes the warmth of home, family, and personal roots. For much of our lives, we’ve worked to keep the hearth burning, providing for loved ones, building security, and finding meaning in the familiar.

But as you step into your 60s and 70s, you may ask, “Is there more to life than keeping the fire going? What will I carry forward from this hearth to leave a lasting impact?”

The hearth is your foundation. It’s just the starting point. Look at “hearth” you have heart and earth, hear and ear, art and “ar matey”!

It's stone worth laying repeatedly!

Stone 2: Health (The First Awakening)

“Your legacy begins with your well-being.”

From the warmth of the hearth, you realize that health—physical, emotional, and spiritual—is the fuel that sustains you. Without health, the dreams of legacy feel distant.

With this stone, you awaken that your well-being is your first and most important investment. It’s not selfish to prioritize your health; it’s essential. Because when you’re thriving, you can give, love, and live more deeply.

“What small steps can I take today to prioritize my health and create a ripple effect for tomorrow?”

There are many types of this stone. Find those you want to lay along the path!

Stone 3: Wealth (The Traditional Path)

“You’ve built wealth, but is it enough?”

For decades, the focus has been on wealth—accumulating financial security, planning for retirement, and ensuring a comfortable future.

But now, wealth alone doesn’t satisfy the more profound yearning for meaning. You may ask, “What is this wealth for? How can it serve a greater purpose? How can it reflect my values?”

Wealth is a tool, not a destination. You recognize that its value lies in its ability to create something enduring and impactful.

Of these types of stones, decide where you can pace and/or place them with wholehearted engagement in play!

These stones are present. Some may need a little polishing before you lay them down!

Stone 4: Wellth (The Complementary Leap)

“True you/YOU are dynamically balancing well-being—for yourself, well-living—with others, and both with the planet.”

The journey takes a transformative turn as you discover Wellth—the complementarity of wealth and health that prioritizes fun, freedom, fulfillment, and contribution over material accumulation.

Wellth is about:

• Living intentionally.
• Cultivating relationships that matter.
• Supporting causes that reflect your values.
• Investing in both your personal growth and the well-being of others.

This shift is liberating. You realize legacy is about what you leave behind—more so, it’s about how you live now!

Find these stones and lay them. However, you may have to take some trips to find them!

Stone 5: Willth (The Legacy Stage)

“Willth is the power to act purposefully and leave an enduring legacy.”

As the hero of your story, you arrive with Willth—the ability and determination to act with intention. It’s the culmination of all the steps before: the warmth of the hearth, the strength of health, the resources of wealth, and the complementarity of wellth.

Willth is:

Your intention in action: Living your values daily.

Your legacy as engagement: Using your time, effort, and money to support causes, people, and ideas that matter.

Your lasting impact: Creating a ripple effect that benefits others, the planet, and future generations.

At this stage, you’ve become the hero of your own life—a person who lives boldly, gives generously and inspires others to do the same.

These stones are rarest and most precious to everyone who walks with them. Please share them; we all benefit!

How Laying These Stones Ties to Living Legacy Life

This journey from Hearth to Willth is the story of Living Legacy Life. It’s about evolving from a life of maintenance to a life of impact:

Hearth: Finding your foundation and reflecting on what matters.

Health: Building vitality to fuel your legacy.

Wealth: Reframing resources as tools for intention and hospitality.

Wellth: Living fully and deliberately in alignment with your values.

Willth: Acting with courage, confidence, and commitment to create your legacy.
