“It’s never too late for an adventure. Just try and see. And I think you will be surprised how well you do. You either rust out or wear out. I chose to wear out.” - Dorothy, 102 years young. Thank you Dorothy for showing us how to live life to its fullest. We love this woman so much! / Staffan & Ammar
As a proud Aussie, im so happy that Dorothy got to experience my home, and complete her goal of visiting every continent. I cant think of a better group of people to have helped her achieve this. What an inspirational lady. ❤
when Staffan asked where she gets all the jokes from, I realized how in the moment she lives, she doesn't worry if the joke will be funny or not, no pressure no expectations, and that's how she gets it, just living in the present moment and not worrying about the outcome.
After years of searching for the 'key to life', I believe being present is it. That is where all our power lies. Not in the past or the future, one is a memory and one hasn't happened yet. It's amazing how simple yet complex it is to stay present, but it makes the most sense. I wish I would have learned that sooner.
What an incredible journey! We are so grateful to Yes Theory for making one of our residents' bucket list come true! Seeing her travel across the world to Australia and live out such a meaningful adventure has been truly heartwarming for our entire senior community. This is a beautiful reminder to check in with seniors around you - they have dreams and stories worth celebrating! It's never too late to say "yes" to new possibilities and live life to the fullest! - Denise
Seeing how you treated your seniors and that everyone is always at ease really warmed my heart. I've seen terrible treatment before at retirement homes, and to say yours is the complete opposite is an understatement. I know you are paid to do what you do, but I genuinely do appreciate the extra passion for your residents. Thank you all.
56 beat cancer and heart attack. I've kind of given up but Dorothy reminded me that I'm still young enough to go and see the world. Afterall, I beat two big illnesses and dang it I'm still alive. Thanks for the swift kick in the butt Dorothy! Can't wait to see you at 103.
You are more than young enough. I was always told, if your body hasn’t failed you, keep moving. Cause one day it will. Just keep moving and doing what you enjoy while you have your health!
@@susanrichardson8035 She might have had a hearing aid. You can't easily see the modern ones and she seems to be in-tune with technology. Either way, she's insanely impressive in every aspect. I wonder what man (or men) were lucky enough to marry her and what their stories were.
My 82 year old Mom just watched this and the previous one of Dorothy. And said 'lets start saving for this when I'm 102 and you're 82'. Pretty sure my beautiful Mom is going to outlive me for sure! She is very adventurous, gorgeous, graceful and so so kind'. She still kayaks, hikes with me and 'the girls' once a week. And has been going to aerobics for the past couple of months with her friends.
I love reading this! Shows how important it is to keep our body and mind busy as much as we can and be thankful when both fully function well as we age!!
I am in my 40s, and I honestly hope for her wish to be fulfilled, let me know in the future... So 20 years later? so in 2042? I also wish to have great journeys too in the future. I hope I will still around to know your journey with your mom and also share my own stories too :)
"I would rather wear out than rust out" - Dorothy @27:07 at 102 years its one of the inspiring things to say to the young ones. Always a pleasure to watch you @YesTheory guys for the past 8 years :)
"If you wave with your left hand, it means you are coming back." I actually believed her and will incorporate this from now on. What a legend Dorothy is!
I was one of the crew to welcome Dorothy in Sydney (that was my G’day Dorothy sign). What a remarkable lady. A pleasure meeting the guys for the first time too. Legends.
I can’t stop smiling and crying! 😭 The previous video and this one are by far the best Yes Theory videos they’ve ever produced. There is something so unbelievably special, beautiful and soul nourishing about their interactions with each other here, and seeing the real life positive and inspirational impact unfold as Dorothy is shared with the world. Her family will treasure this video forever!
As an Aussie, I'm honoured Dorothy made it to my continent/country to complete her list. Bless her and all of you who made this happen and celebrated her along the way.
@@zhannymc1043 still an evil corporation, people forget things so quickly smh.. wow a multi-billion dollar company gave away a ticket wow so nice of them.
Working in a nursing home here in Sydney truely opens your eyes to the daily challenges faced by the elderly, particularly when it comes to feelings of loneliness and sadness. Seeing Dorothy, at 102 years old, embark on this journey was nothing short of remarkable. This would have brought so much joy and excitement back into her life, and it has reminded me, and I bet many others, the importance of creating special moments for our elderly population, who have given so much throughout their lives.
8:58 Why do I find Staffan calling Ammar 'Habibi' to be so heartwarming? It's just so crazy to me that this man the boys met on a random street in Sweden has become such a intergral part of the Yes Theory family, you truly never know who you'll meet and what impact they'll have on your life!
My granny when she turned 80 years old, she wanted to drive through Africa in her car that was 20 years old. Which she did and drove from Cape Town to London and back to Italy. She sadly passed away a few years ago but she was an inspiration. After watching Dorothy doing what she is doing, she reminded me of my granny which makes me happy.
I befriended a man who was 79 when we met, and I would consider him one of the best friends I've ever made. I was 24 at the time and he was just such a great guy, awesome perspective on life, amazing sense of humor, and always had the best advice (usually paired with a hilarious story). Sadly, he passed away earlier this year, but he never stopped smiling or living life to the fullest. I'll miss you Noel. Don't count out the elderly, most are young at heart.
Noel’s spirit will forever live on because you are here speaking about him. Your friend sounds like he was a truly special man and I’m guessing a lot of him has rubbed off on to you. You were both so blessed to find each other in life I’m sure one day when your time comes, Noel will be waiting with St Peter to welcome his best friend home to the kingdom of Heaven. May life bring you so much happiness and blessings until then. R.I.P Noel 🕊️✝️🙏
@ I don’t know if there has been a day that’s gone by where I don’t share a story about him or from him. My last memory with him was exploring Google and looking up his old addresses so he could reminisce in all the places he had lived. It was such a great time. Noel will live forever in my heart.
@ Noel clearly had a huge effect upon you. I am so thankful you found each other and you made his latter years so special by being there for each other. I understand how lonely life can be Noel was very lucky to have such a good friend in you. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas I will light a candle in honour of Noel. God bless you Sweetheart 🕊️✝️🙏♥️🎅🏻🎄
@@FionaMccue Thank you for your kind words. He was very special to me and a huge influence on my life. I really appreciate your kindness, it means a lot. Have a great Christmas and thank you for honoring Noel.
@@iluvtv2 it will be a pleasure to honour Noel no thanks needed. Merry Christmas and all the very best for 2025 I hope all your wishes come true and bless your life and you have a truly lovely year 🕊️✝️🎄
For a generation with backaches and knee pain in their 30s, who find excuses to avoid adventure, Dorothy is the biggest inspiration. We have no excuses now! ❤🎉
That’s the age when that sort of stuff starts for most people. There’s a reason the joke is “at the age of 25 you get a random permanent debuff and another every seven years”.
If anyone in their 30s with actual backache and knee pains is reading this, it's really cool to explore the world, but if you want to get rid of your pain you should excercise regularly and in most cases that will solve it.
“It’s never too late for an adventure. Just try and see. And I think you will be surprised how well you do. You either rust out or wear out. I chose to wear out.” For someone who's been feeling lost and afraid of making some big decisions because of some failures in the past, her quote just provided the boost of inspiration that I need.
Men,at 29 lost my job haven't worked for an year,feeling lost and confused with this life,seeing this video is just what i needed to remind its never too late.God bless you Dorothy and yes theory.
Well I'm 29 and have been unemployed for most of my adult life due to mental health and, sometimes, honestly using it as an excuse to convince myself that I couldn't do something but you know, I just found a job recently and I'm feeling great, people I work with are chill and friendly and I don't feel so lost anymore. Got my boss and my supervisor noticing and complimenting me on the quality and speed I picked things up, offering me alternative positions which are easier and with a better pay only a few hours ago as of writing this. I've been there for a month now. Things get better man, take it easy on yourself but try not to get as complacent as I did for all those years, it's a downward spiral that doesn't end until you decide to stop and start climbing again.
You will get through this time it will help you transform into the version of yourself you need to be ❤ let go of the feeling of being judged by others (people always will judge with everything and thats okay its their problem not yours) or the pressure of you needing to have met any social norms - you are doing your BEST on your lifejourney that is only meant to be yours alone there is no rule to life. These Phases are normal for EVERYONE to experience to level up in life - it should be talked about more. Each day is a new start for you to reset your life to let go of the version you were yesterday
Seek Discomfort had my back when my dad died a couple of years ago. I will never forget that. Love the content that's created and message you guys send. It's much appreciated
If everybody in this world was like yes theory not only would this world be a better place but it may just explode from the unmeasurable amount of love and happiness that you bring to this place.
The concept of it being "too late" for anything, even at my relatively young age, tends to trip me up. Been trying to live like I can do anything at any time, and I truly think we all can. Seeing it in practice here is wonderful!
I think we’re all vulnerable to it, to be honest, and it’s good to be reminded that it’s all relative. We can still do what we can today, and not “rusting out” as she said, keeps in better shape to keep doing what is important to us.
When I was 17, I befriended a colleague who was 67. We liked all the same kinds of films and would have tea together once a week and would watch an action film together (she loved Die Hard). When I went to uni, we would send each other letters. Sadly, she passed away 20 years ago, but I always think of her whenever I hear the name John McClane.
It's amazing that a man who considers himself to be black hearted and hardened to everything after being a junkie for 30 years and spending 17 years in prison ....WHY AM I CRYING IN MY COFFEE???!!!!!! You guys are fantastic!! Such good souls and DOROTHY I LOVE YOU YOUNG LADY!!!
I suspect you have only been hardened to all the bad things that happen to you, not the wonderful things that happen to others who you believe truly deserve them. I can only pray that one day soon, you will come to understand that you also deserve good things in your life. Please consider yourself hugged
Qantas airlines are genuinely incredible. I flew economy from SFO to Sydney years ago and it was the best economy experience I have ever had. And their domestic flights are amazing too, they feed you on every dang flight even if it’s a short one. Such lovely people too, I’m not at all surprised they rose to the occasion and were so kind to Dorothy. Nothing more fitting than Dorthy being sent off with a rainbow to visit OZ!!! What a beautiful story and women.
@ thanks I didn’t even catch that my autocorrect messed that up! I even googled the airline to make sure I spelled it right but looks like it flipped it. It even tried to do it again when I just corrected it lol
I'm crying. Dorothy sounds EXACTLY like my grandma who passed in 2019. It was like hearing my grandmother again.She was the most adventurous person I've ever known and truly embodied the yes theory mission. She loved to discover new places and discover new purpose. Thank you for this beautiful video.
I fluctuated between crying and smiling until my face hurt. These two episodes were recommended to me by a friend. I am so glad I watched. Dorothy is truly amazing. What an incredible thing you did and the beauty of it was it was that it’ is so clear that the connection was genuine. My mother is 107 & 8 months old. Unfortunately dementia set in a couple of years ago. Watching this and thinking about the emotions I felt, made me realize how blessed both she and I have been. I have to reframe my thought process from one of sadness to that of being grateful for all the experiences we were able to have. Thank you for sharing this story, and you now have a new 73 yr old subscriber. Cheers to Dorothy and her daughter!! You guys are gems. 😊❤🤗 Kathy
I love so much how Staffan always connects with the “grandparents” you meet in your travels. It’s like he has a bunch of grandparents all over the world. Just lovely each time I see it. I know Dorthy was joking and said “you seemed harmless” but I just know they can see what a wonderful soul you have.
I don't think I have sobbed for an ENTIRE youtube video before! Such a beautiful story with incredibly special moments. Well done boys, you have made this lady incredibly happy!
RUclips video aside, real life wise, this is insane for a 102 year old to have happen for her and experience on so many levels and for them to endeavor
From a medical standpoint this is an INSANE feat and genuinely impressive and incredible! Just her physical and mental condition alone at her age is amazing and traveling this far at her age? Crazy
@@katie-kb6qd Yes yes yes! It's all around insane. She makes it look easy. Genes plays a huge role for sure, but she's got the menality and spirit to top it off. With my genes, I'm lucky if I make it to 50 lol
Dorothy should be an honorary president of the Yes theory fans! She is absolutely amazing and whole heartedly encompasses the vibe you guys are going for and spread all over the world.
This is probably the most emotional a seek discomfort video has ever made me. My grandma always wanted to go to Australia before she passed, and I told her I would take her. I never got to. This is quite literally like living a dream I've always wanted to make happen. Thank you so much for this. ♥
I'm still young and I have my days where I'm so tired and worn out, I just want to give up and lay in bed for a week straight. At 102 I can't imagine how she is feeling, but the smile on her face always shows that she is in complete control over her emotions and how her day pans out. Really an inspiring story and I'm glad so many people came together to make it extra special, she definitely deserves it. Long live Dorothy.
this is one of the most feel good videos i have seen in forever. you guys are a blessing from god, and god bless dorothy and her daughter. they were so loving and thankful.
Wow, I can’t believe Dorothy is 102! She looks absolutely amazing-I genuinely thought she was 75!! How does she do it?! 🌟 I have severe spondylitis and it’s forced me to slow down and put so many of my dreams on hold. But seeing Dorothy’s story has completely changed my perspective. She’s living proof that anything is possible, no matter what life throws at you. Her journey reminds me to not give up on my dreams, no matter how hard things may seem. Thank you, Dorothy, for inspiring me to believe again and showing me that there’s still so much to explore, achieve, and enjoy in this beautiful world! You’re an inspiration to us all!! 🥹❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dorothy is an inspiration to people of any age. A true ray of sunshine bursting with energy and life. Thank you Dorothy for teaching us all that it's never "too late" for anything!
This is the biggest motivation for many generations to come. Am inspired to leave my comfort zone to explore the world. As a young african son such adventurous "stories " are not common. For the first time this weekend am taking 15hrs flight from Africa to South East Asia Indonesia Bali. Thanks Yes Theory thanks Dorothy. Your spirit and determination will never be engraved in our hearts.
Dorothy is so inspiring! It was hard not to tear up watching her enjoy her life to the fullest. She reminds me so much of my late grandmother. Such a lovely reminder that the older generations have so much to share and teach us if we take the time to connect with them. By far one of my favorite videos ❤
Thank you for making me unexpectedly bawl my eyes while snacking. 2 days ago my 104 years old grandma passed away. This video is a heart balm. Dorothy, such a queen. Love you guys❤
Dorothy is my spirit animal!!!! This episode made me bawl my eyes out in such a happy way!!! Thank you for gifting her this adventure, and thank you, Dorothy, for showing us age is just a number!!! Much Love!!
What an absolutely beautiful soul! She gives off so much positivity and energy! So much I can feel it through just the video! Not to mention being with her in person! Dorothy, I hope you have a wonderful and long rest of your life. We may go our separate ways, but the lessons and morals you put fourth will stick with anyone who connects with this video! The world needs more people like you! (Edited for grammatical clarity.)
I could not watch this video and not cry!!! It is so beautiful the way you care about people and specifically Dorothy. You don't realize how inspiring you are and how you make us feel about life. Thank you Ammar, Staffan, Yes Theory and Dorothy for fullfilling us with love and passion.
Dorothy is a legend!! and so are you guys for doing this. Most of your videos are quite heartfelt, but this one gets you right in the feels. Dorothy's face is almost like a childs, you can just see the the wonder as shes looking around, taking it all in. Well done for making someones lifelong dream come true.
4:20- A rainbow appears at her retirement home then 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' gets sung right before the 102-year-old Dorothy makes her jaunt to Oz! BTW, I just realized that since Miss Dorothy is now 102 , that means she was born in 1922- the same year as Judy Garland! Seriously,though, it's great that Miss Dorothy, her daughter, Steffan, Ammar and everyone who got to travel and interact with her had such a great time while she ventured to her 7th continent1 Thanks!
This Dorothy story / adventure made me choke up, laugh, cry, and reminisce... In our family we have 2 long lived grandpas (107 and 99) and one long lived grandma (89) unfortunately our other grandma flew up to heaven just before I crash landed on earth 30 years ago and I never met her. I lost my 107 year old grandpa just 2 years ago, and these two videos of Dorothy made me remember him vividly, and when my story is all said and done I hope I remember this video, I hope when I see my grandparents in the sky I will hug them like how I hugged them as a young lad.
I am literally sobbing within minutes of this video. I am from Australia and I have been to all 7 continents. On that journey I have met so many amazing elders traveling the world in their 60s, 70s and 80s but Dorothy is really on the next level!!!! I love chatting with elders because they have seen the world in such a different time and this reminds me every day that nothing is static and social change actually happens very quickly. Everyone has a story to tell and something I can learn from. I hope I can have a fraction of Dorothy's zest for life at that age.

“It’s never too late for an adventure. Just try and see. And I think you will be surprised how well you do. You either rust out or wear out. I chose to wear out.” - Dorothy, 102 years young.
Thank you Dorothy for showing us how to live life to its fullest. We love this woman so much! / Staffan & Ammar
Thanks for taking us on this amazing journey!
you guys did the BEST THING ever! you always do but this one stood out in particular. 🥺
I was waiting for this episode to watch while i'm having my dinner😆. Now my tears r on my food. What a lovely episode. Love you Yes Theory ❤❤❤

So impressive!
I was awestruck
the casual 100 year old baby photo at the end
Man! Shoutout to Quantas! that V.I.P. treatment! they sure know how to care for elders!
Yeah for the promo for them.
Otherwise, the worst airline that I ever used 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
@@winifredclarke1977 You can't have flown on many airlines then.
That's how they get the plane ticket for free
Whatever the deal was, they were really nice to Dorothy and that I appreciate
It's a business transaction. Quantas gets free promotion from it
when Staffan asked where she gets all the jokes from, I realized how in the moment she lives, she doesn't worry if the joke will be funny or not, no pressure no expectations, and that's how she gets it, just living in the present moment and not worrying about the outcome.

left Ammar speechless hahah
Not only did they give her the trip of her life, they gave her daughter key memories at a point in her life that she'll never forget. god bless.
I am very fortunate have many great memories with my mother, but Staffan and Ammar made this the absolute best!
102 but her humor is ageless, what an iconic human being

"Rust out or wear out. I chose to wear out!" A motto to live by. Thank you Stefan and Amir for making her wish come true. ❤
Yes, I loved that phrase so much!
With so much negativity and hatred and selfishness everywhere seeing Dorothy made me hopeful and smile for 30min.

I understand how lonely life can be Noel was very lucky to have such a good friend in you. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas I will light a candle in honour of Noel. God bless you Sweetheart 🕊️✝️🙏♥️🎅🏻🎄
@@FionaMccue Thank you for your kind words. He was very special to me and a huge influence on my life. I really appreciate your kindness, it means a lot. Have a great Christmas and thank you for honoring Noel.
@@iluvtv2 it will be a pleasure to honour Noel no thanks needed. Merry Christmas and all the very best for 2025 I hope all your wishes come true and bless your life and you have a truly lovely year 🕊️✝️🎄
For a generation with backaches and knee pain in their 30s, who find excuses to avoid adventure, Dorothy is the biggest inspiration. We have no excuses now! ❤🎉
That’s the age when that sort of stuff starts for most people. There’s a reason the joke is “at the age of 25 you get a random permanent debuff and another every seven years”.
If anyone in their 30s with actual backache and knee pains is reading this, it's really cool to explore the world, but if you want to get rid of your pain you should excercise regularly and in most cases that will solve it.
I have a 2 year old daughter, seeing the picture of 2 year old Dorothy made my heart happy.
Blessings to Dorothy's daughter, too, for being by her side : )
Aw, thank you! I was so fortunate to be along on Dorothy's Trip!
@@yo.adrienne-SF Your mother is such an inspirational woman❤I have never seen any elderly person with such a positive attitude towards life.
"Closest we'll ever get to heaven"
The way I laughed 😂. I hope to be as spry and humourus as she is when I'm older.
that was so funny...
She caught me so off guard with that one 😂
My eyes haven't been dry since you all met Dorothy and the trend continues. I love her life and happiness. She embodies the YES family!
She needs to be a part of the YesFam in the US
“It’s never too late for an adventure. Just try and see. And I think you will be surprised how well you do. You either rust out or wear out. I chose to wear out.”
For someone who's been feeling lost and afraid of making some big decisions because of some failures in the past, her quote just provided the boost of inspiration that I need.
Shes very lucky shes still mobile and in good health. Unfortunately majority will never get that far in health!
I was tearing up throughout the entire video. Such a wonderful trip you have given Dorothy. May she live many more years.
Me too just for feeling so happy . And grateful for her ❤🎉
Me three! Seriously, this is the most wholesome video I've seen!
Same
Men,at 29 lost my job haven't worked for an year,feeling lost and confused with this life,seeing this video is just what i needed to remind its never too late.God bless you Dorothy and yes theory.
Hang in there... you'll find your way x
Well I'm 29 and have been unemployed for most of my adult life due to mental health and, sometimes, honestly using it as an excuse to convince myself that I couldn't do something but you know, I just found a job recently and I'm feeling great, people I work with are chill and friendly and I don't feel so lost anymore. Got my boss and my supervisor noticing and complimenting me on the quality and speed I picked things up, offering me alternative positions which are easier and with a better pay only a few hours ago as of writing this. I've been there for a month now. Things get better man, take it easy on yourself but try not to get as complacent as I did for all those years, it's a downward spiral that doesn't end until you decide to stop and start climbing again.
You will get through this time it will help you transform into the version of yourself you need to be ❤ let go of the feeling of being judged by others (people always will judge with everything and thats okay its their problem not yours) or the pressure of you needing to have met any social norms - you are doing your BEST on your lifejourney that is only meant to be yours alone there is no rule to life. These Phases are normal for EVERYONE to experience to level up in life - it should be talked about more. Each day is a new start for you to reset your life to let go of the version you were yesterday
Seek Discomfort had my back when my dad died a couple of years ago. I will never forget that. Love the content that's created and message you guys send. It's much appreciated
Blessings to you and your dad .. may his soul rest in peace
If everybody in this world was like yes theory not only would this world be a better place but it may just explode from the unmeasurable amount of love and happiness that you bring to this place.
I love Dorothy's spirit and charisma. This is one of the best episodes yet. Kudos to Yes Theory.
The concept of it being "too late" for anything, even at my relatively young age, tends to trip me up. Been trying to live like I can do anything at any time, and I truly think we all can. Seeing it in practice here is wonderful!
I think we’re all vulnerable to it, to be honest, and it’s good to be reminded that it’s all relative. We can still do what we can today, and not “rusting out” as she said, keeps in better shape to keep doing what is important to us.
She truly doesn't look a day over 79! What a sweet, lovely and funny lady! That woman is a force of nature!
I’m not crying, you’re crying! 🥲
😂 I was 😂
No I'm not I swear 😭
I had some ninja cutting onions
From the very first minute until the last 😭😂
You're right I am.😢
When I was 17, I befriended a colleague who was 67. We liked all the same kinds of films and would have tea together once a week and would watch an action film together (she loved Die Hard). When I went to uni, we would send each other letters. Sadly, she passed away 20 years ago, but I always think of her whenever I hear the name John McClane.
Her jokes are pure and timeless, and her charm resonates with every generation. What an admirable soul! Dorothy for eternity. ❤
By far one of the best stories told on the channel, Dorthy Is the 🐐
It's amazing that a man who considers himself to be black hearted and hardened to everything after being a junkie for 30 years and spending 17 years in prison ....WHY AM I CRYING IN MY COFFEE???!!!!!! You guys are fantastic!! Such good souls and DOROTHY I LOVE YOU YOUNG LADY!!!
It’s never too late for you too!
I suspect you have only been hardened to all the bad things that happen to you, not the wonderful things that happen to others who you believe truly deserve them.
I can only pray that one day soon, you will come to understand that you also deserve good things in your life.
Please consider yourself hugged
Me too!
@@mustwereallydothis lol thanks
the saddest souls smile the brightest
Qantas airlines are genuinely incredible. I flew economy from SFO to Sydney years ago and it was the best economy experience I have ever had. And their domestic flights are amazing too, they feed you on every dang flight even if it’s a short one. Such lovely people too, I’m not at all surprised they rose to the occasion and were so kind to Dorothy. Nothing more fitting than Dorthy being sent off with a rainbow to visit OZ!!! What a beautiful story and women.
Qantas
@ thanks I didn’t even catch that my autocorrect messed that up! I even googled the airline to make sure I spelled it right but looks like it flipped it. It even tried to do it again when I just corrected it lol
As a nurse who exclusively works with our elders…. This lady looks incredible! One barely finds 80-something yr olds who appear so young and vital.
I loved when the rainbow appeared and they sang “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” to Dorthy 🥰 right before she flew over the rainbow to Australia ❤️
I'm crying. Dorothy sounds EXACTLY like my grandma who passed in 2019. It was like hearing my grandmother again.She was the most adventurous person I've ever known and truly embodied the yes theory mission. She loved to discover new places and discover new purpose. Thank you for this beautiful video.
I fluctuated between crying and smiling until my face hurt. These two episodes were recommended to me by a friend. I am so glad I watched. Dorothy is truly amazing. What an incredible thing you did and the beauty of it was it was that it’ is so clear that the connection was genuine. My mother is 107 & 8 months old. Unfortunately dementia set in a couple of years ago. Watching this and thinking about the emotions I felt, made me realize how blessed both she and I have been. I have to reframe my thought process from one of sadness to that of being grateful for all the experiences we were able to have. Thank you for sharing this story, and you now have a new 73 yr old subscriber. Cheers to Dorothy and her daughter!! You guys are gems.
😊❤🤗 Kathy
I love so much how Staffan always connects with the “grandparents” you meet in your travels. It’s like he has a bunch of grandparents all over the world. Just lovely each time I see it. I know Dorthy was joking and said “you seemed harmless” but I just know they can see what a wonderful soul you have.
I don't think I have sobbed for an ENTIRE youtube video before! Such a beautiful story with incredibly special moments. Well done boys, you have made this lady incredibly happy!
Dorothy’s mind is as sharp as a 30 yr old! Bless her!
The fact that we get free videos on RUclips by Yes Theory is truly a gift; keeping knowledge and entertainment alive. 👏🙏🏽🤷
That retirement home has to be the most beautiful in the world
Thank you so much for your kind words! Our community is filled with incredible people who inspire us every day!
RUclips video aside, real life wise, this is insane for a 102 year old to have happen for her and experience on so many levels and for them to endeavor
Right, imagine this happening to you
From a medical standpoint this is an INSANE feat and genuinely impressive and incredible! Just her physical and mental condition alone at her age is amazing and traveling this far at her age? Crazy
@@katie-kb6qd Yes yes yes! It's all around insane. She makes it look easy. Genes plays a huge role for sure, but she's got the menality and spirit to top it off. With my genes, I'm lucky if I make it to 50 lol
That’s a very nice facility. Good livable architecture, good staff, residents that are fine with living, instead of just waiting to die. That’s great.
Dorothy should be an honorary president of the Yes theory fans! She is absolutely amazing and whole heartedly encompasses the vibe you guys are going for and spread all over the world.
This is the Yes Theory I missed, knew, and loved. Rock on guys!
I love Staffan’s enthusiasm and love for life.
It’s infectious 💗
SMILE. U woke up today.
What a beautiful woman, and her daughter is gorgeous too! You guys knocked this one out of the park. Just wonderful! Thank you.
My mother and I thank you for the compliment.
Currently Being in Indonesia with my grandmother 77 I’m 21. She said yes to finally go with me to her home country! Such a blessing
Can Dorothy live forever please 🥲 what a legend!
This is probably the most emotional a seek discomfort video has ever made me. My grandma always wanted to go to Australia before she passed, and I told her I would take her. I never got to. This is quite literally like living a dream I've always wanted to make happen. Thank you so much for this. ♥
I'm still young and I have my days where I'm so tired and worn out, I just want to give up and lay in bed for a week straight. At 102 I can't imagine how she is feeling, but the smile on her face always shows that she is in complete control over her emotions and how her day pans out. Really an inspiring story and I'm glad so many people came together to make it extra special, she definitely deserves it. Long live Dorothy.
this is one of the most feel good videos i have seen in forever. you guys are a blessing from god, and god bless dorothy and her daughter. they were so loving and thankful.
How fkn good are Aussies, best people in the world
I just LOVE Dorothy!! My great grandma passed this past March at the age of 106. Ms. Dorothy has such a loving spirit! Great job Yes Theory!!!
Plot twist: The 102-year-old was just trying to get their steps in for the day, and you turned it into a global tour. Respect
This woman is incredibly lucid for her age!!
Wow, I can’t believe Dorothy is 102! She looks absolutely amazing-I genuinely thought she was 75!! How does she do it?! 🌟
I have severe spondylitis and it’s forced me to slow down and put so many of my dreams on hold. But seeing Dorothy’s story has completely changed my perspective. She’s living proof that anything is possible, no matter what life throws at you. Her journey reminds me to not give up on my dreams, no matter how hard things may seem.
Thank you, Dorothy, for inspiring me to believe again and showing me that there’s still so much to explore, achieve, and enjoy in this beautiful world!
You’re an inspiration to us all!! 🥹❤❤❤❤❤❤
Alright, this is the sweetest thing I ever saw.
Dorothy is an inspiration to people of any age. A true ray of sunshine bursting with energy and life. Thank you Dorothy for teaching us all that it's never "too late" for anything!
"You can either rust out or wear out" is the hardest quote I ever heard and I'm using it.
As someone who finds the unknown very frightening, Dorothy's words are a challenge and an encouragement
This is the biggest motivation for many generations to come. Am inspired to leave my comfort zone to explore the world. As a young african son such adventurous "stories " are not common. For the first time this weekend am taking 15hrs flight from Africa to South East Asia Indonesia Bali. Thanks Yes Theory thanks Dorothy. Your spirit and determination will never be engraved in our hearts.
Dorothy is so inspiring! It was hard not to tear up watching her enjoy her life to the fullest. She reminds me so much of my late grandmother. Such a lovely reminder that the older generations have so much to share and teach us if we take the time to connect with them. By far one of my favorite videos ❤
Thank you for making me unexpectedly bawl my eyes while snacking. 2 days ago my 104 years old grandma passed away. This video is a heart balm. Dorothy, such a queen. Love you guys❤
She’s so mobile! Even though she’s mostly in the chair, she can still stand up and dance, she’s so lively!
'You could either rust out or wear out.' That was a beautiful quote from Dorothy. Much Love❤
Dorothy is my spirit animal!!!! This episode made me bawl my eyes out in such a happy way!!! Thank you for gifting her this adventure, and thank you, Dorothy, for showing us age is just a number!!! Much Love!!
What an absolutely beautiful soul! She gives off so much positivity and energy! So much I can feel it through just the video! Not to mention being with her in person! Dorothy, I hope you have a wonderful and long rest of your life. We may go our separate ways, but the lessons and morals you put fourth will stick with anyone who connects with this video! The world needs more people like you!
(Edited for grammatical clarity.)
As a suicidal being, her love for life is so inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time. You're rockin Dorothy!
Why would you ever hurt yourself
Take care!
same here this made me cry tears of joy it really put my life into perspective
Keep going!! May you do great and wonderful things in your life!! ❤
One thing I noticed, she hasn't had a single happy tear. She was laughing, excited, mesmerized and what not. Hats off yes theory.. love you guys ❤
I wish when i turn 102. I want to have all the strength and power like Dorthy to still travel all around the world! Such an inspiration 🤩
I could not watch this video and not cry!!! It is so beautiful the way you care about people and specifically Dorothy. You don't realize how inspiring you are and how you make us feel about life.
Thank you Ammar, Staffan, Yes Theory and Dorothy for fullfilling us with love and passion.
Dorothy has more energy than me
Dorothy is a legend!! and so are you guys for doing this. Most of your videos are quite heartfelt, but this one gets you right in the feels. Dorothy's face is almost like a childs, you can just see the the wonder as shes looking around, taking it all in. Well done for making someones lifelong dream come true.
I can't help but smile for 30 minutes straight - watching this 😂 This is beautiful to watch, oh god
God bless her, literally melt my heart to see Dorothy ticking off her bucket list. And don tell me I'm the only one tearing up right now.
4:20- A rainbow appears at her retirement home then 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' gets sung right before the 102-year-old Dorothy makes her jaunt to Oz!
BTW, I just realized that since Miss Dorothy is now 102 , that means she was born in 1922- the same year as Judy Garland!
Seriously,though, it's great that Miss Dorothy, her daughter, Steffan, Ammar and everyone who got to travel and interact with her had such a great time while she ventured to her 7th continent1
Thanks!
This is the sweetest video they’ve ever made, I’m not even half way through and I’m crying like a baby.
I literally cried happy tears. What a lovely thing to experience for her and her daughter aswell. Dorathy is a firecracker! So fun ❤️ happy for her
I don't know why I am crying, this has to be one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen :)
This Dorothy story / adventure made me choke up, laugh, cry, and reminisce...
In our family we have 2 long lived grandpas (107 and 99) and one long lived grandma (89) unfortunately our other grandma flew up to heaven just before I crash landed on earth 30 years ago and I never met her. I lost my 107 year old grandpa just 2 years ago, and these two videos of Dorothy made me remember him vividly, and when my story is all said and done I hope I remember this video, I hope when I see my grandparents in the sky I will hug them like how I hugged them as a young lad.
+10:55 Tears streaming down my face! ❤🥰💝
Mine too😢
Omg same
SAME 😭😭😭❤️❤️
I am literally sobbing within minutes of this video. I am from Australia and I have been to all 7 continents. On that journey I have met so many amazing elders traveling the world in their 60s, 70s and 80s but Dorothy is really on the next level!!!! I love chatting with elders because they have seen the world in such a different time and this reminds me every day that nothing is static and social change actually happens very quickly. Everyone has a story to tell and something I can learn from. I hope I can have a fraction of Dorothy's zest for life at that age.
You guys are here to change our perspective of earth and ourselfs. I’m here to see you guys build that for us. Thank you guys.
