"If you're very fortunate enough to find your soulmate and the person you're supposed to be with regardless of any age difference, embrace that and make memories every single day together."
Gary goes on to say that life isn't about having a full life, it's about having a "memorable, happy life."
He adds: "What's right for some peoplemight not be right for others."
"I do get your perspective of what you're speaking of and what you commented however, it's just that we choose not to look at it in that perspective because we don't think about it that way."
I'd rather be with the person that I'm meant to be with, that i'm genuinely happy with, my soulmate, then be miserable for the rest of my life and regret the decision not to choose happiness."
"So just don't forget to choose happiness guys, whatever makes you happy."
Gary concludes; "We only live once and life is so so short not to be happy."
"Don't dwell on the future, what happens is the now. The choices you make today are more important than the decisions you might make in two, three, five, 10 years from now."
Be happy in the moment, live your life and focus on the now because if you focus on the future you're going to drive yourself crazy."
"Live like today's your last day."
