Maybe try to think of it as "talking about what's important in life" as opposed to advice. I think it would be silly to think one has all the answers in this direction, that's effectively what you're telling them when you apply value judgments to what they have to say.

Im not trying to be overly condescending or judgmental, definitely just my opinion, but it reads like a teenager giving advice on how to live life when they themselves are just embarking on it. It sounds youthfully naive and obvious, there is nothing wrong in there, it's just not eye opening or inspirational as I'd expect reading from the successor to pg. Maybe I'm being to judgmental because I'm used to the way pg's blogs used to speak to me and this is something different. Of course this is my opinion, it just felt empty to me.
