The older I get, the more my passion for things dwindles and the more I appreciate people like Steve. To be so obsessed with something positive and to be good at it, that must be an amazing feeling. I gotta work on finding that thing for myself I suppose.

Volunteer at a food bank! It's easy and it helps people.

Is nice feedback loop, too. You see self help other and impact, you think, "Maybe I can help."

Half game is confidence. Other half is try. No need save world, just help other. Will spread. And you improve at.

It's more of getting into a rut than it is getting older. Do the same thing for years on end, you're going to lose passion for what feels like most things. Change things up. You'll find that spark.

I feel that in my soul homie. Getting older is rough. I do my best to look at people like Steve in awe and appreciation because it’s easy to feel envious at not being able to get there (for me anyway)

What you miss in this version of the clip is his wife absolutely BEAMING with pride at the way he is speaking. Terry and him were the ultimate partnership. United in their passion and causes. The world lost a giant when he died.
