Unlocking Life’s Evolving Priorities: How Ancient Wisdom and AI Transformed My Perspective to my 93-Year-Old Father

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to believe that our core values remain unaltered as time goes on. Yet, I was recently reminded that even the most resilient individuals—those who have weathered nearly a century of change—are not exempt from the shifting tides of what truly matters in life.

Earlier this week, after an engaging interview with an Icelandic newspaper where I shared insights on leadership, AI, and my latest venture—BeBBY, an AI tool that combines 3,500-year-old Chinese energy wisdom with our No More Boxes Methodology—I received an unexpected call. The methodology is designed to break free from societal constraints, and it’s a thrilling blend of ancient knowledge and cutting-edge technology with limitless potential.

That evening, my 93-year-old father, a man full of stories from a life well-lived—from witnessing food stamps during World War II as a young boy to navigating the complexities of the digital age—called me. He had read the interview. Despite his vast experiences, he wasn’t focused on the past. Instead, he was intrigued by BeBBY and wanted to take The Vitality Test himself. The test, rooted in ancient Chinese wisdom, creates a personal vitality chart that maps out an individual’s energy and life focus.

I was thrilled at the prospect. I imagined his chart would reflect the robust, no-nonsense man I’ve always known—the man who still stands up, gives a speech, cheers people up, and holds conversations about today's politics and societal changes. After all, I assumed the essence of who we are doesn’t change.

But I was wrong.

When the results came back, they were not what I’d anticipated. The strong and resilient man I had always known was still there, but the things that mattered most to him had shifted. His focus had turned inward—towards peace, reflection, and a gentle curiosity about the world. This was not the father I had always kept in my mind, but rather a man who had evolved with time, shedding old priorities and embracing new ones.

Stunned by this revelation, I reached out to Nicholas Haines, the creator of The Vitality Test. He reminded me of something profound: as we grow older, our priorities change in ways we might not expect. Our identities aren’t static; they’re fluid, continuously shaped by our experiences, our wisdom, and, yes, even our age.

This realisation hit me hard. How often do we cling to outdated perceptions of those we love? How often do we assume their core remains unchanged, even as they and the world around them transform?

My father’s Vitality Test was more than just a chart; it was a mirror reflecting the truth that we are all in a constant state of becoming. His journey inspired me to challenge my assumptions and to encourage others to do the same.

So, here’s my challenge to you:
