Live your life with contentment. Don't live with regrets for not telling someone that you love them, for not apologizing for your mistake, for not helping someone when you could. You never know if tomorrow you can see them again and can talk to them. So do it right away. Because Regret is the most painful thing you can experience in life. Thanks for your question.🙏
@@Sprouht Contentment is simple yet complex to understand. To be happy we have to see the positive side of every situation. Spread love, be kind and empathetic towards others and avoid greed for material things and possessions. Love but don't beg them to love you back. Many times we are unhappy as things are not happening how we expect them to be. It is guaranteed disappointment. So to experience contentment we should be like the droplet on lotus leaf. Attached detachment , Detached attachment..
I heard a great quote that stuck with me (said by a hospice patient who was dying). “At the end of life, there are no do-overs, especially with your health.” Take excellent care of your body. You only get one. ❤
Yep!! Doing my best to reverse the damage done to our family by diet, modern "medicine," store-bought hygiene and cleaning products, etc. People scoff and say it's hippie dippie fear-mongering nonsense but it really isn't - we've just been b r a i n w a s h e d to think it is. I used to be a scoffer but then I woke up. I can't unsee it. It was overwhelming at first but then it was liberating. Try it. You'll wish you had done it years ago.
Being healthy is a huge plus in life. I’ve been sick most of my life & I don’t really enjoy life bc I’m in pain all the time. If you have your health, your life is rich.❤
I absolutely agree-it really is hard to enjoy and value life when your daily baseline is pain and discomfort, either physically or mentally-or both😓 I feel you🙏🏻
@@resistapathy I was on a fentanyl lollipop for 18 years but got off it bc it stopped working and it’s not meant to be used for that long. I try to take meds and medical marijuana & fall asleep but I mostly just suffer. Going to get injections in my spine, hope that will work. Distracting myself by watching tv, playing games on my phone, painting or reading help when the pain isn’t too severe. When it’s really bad, I just lay in bed crying & praying the meds kick in and the pain it stops soon.
If you like to listen from dr Natasha Campbell-Mcbride: she addresses the root cause of diseases and has books and she has healed millions with her nutritional protocol
My advice: Learn the difference between: career, job, and vocation. They are all distinctly different things and I think this causes a LOT of stress and wastes a LOT of people's precious time. Define what 'success' looks like for YOU, whether that means living in a tent or a mansion, don't let others opinions influence the decisions you make.
This is excellent advice. I do feel like most of my generation (millennials) won't truly understand this until it's too late. I'm in my early 30's and have treated every job that I've had like a job while my peers treat it as a career expecting fulfillment.
Exactly, and if you need to lay in bed and eat cookies all day for a few weeks, a month, you have plenty of time to still grow from that, and be someone. Life takes many twists and turns.. and depression very well may be 1 of them.. and someone whose never been through depression likely won't understand that. Heal yourself first before you pressure yourself to do Anything else! People who force themselves through tough times without healing are far more likely to make bad decisions for the sake of just doing something.. possibly even hurting others in the process. Stop. Don't do that. Take care of yourself first.. and consider seeking help. Humans weren't made to do Everything alone! ❤
How do you go about healing yourself? I'm 59 years old and feel like a ship that has lost its compass. I'm dealing with yet another episode of depression and i'm struggling to get back on my feet. The thing is i don't have a direction to go towards. The only real family i have is my elderly mother. The two remaining siblings i still have don't care about me really. Its so painful to be alone with your thoughts and are unable to free your heart from intense sadness and pain. It's like my inner child is crying out for someone to help me out of this mess. How do i find ME in all of this mental chatter? I've gone through therapy before and know how to use the tools, but it isn't working at this time. I know i'm a stranger on You Tube reaching out to you. But, i feel like i need something inside me to change or i don't think i can continue like this much longer.
@@tanastoiberg7981 have you try seeking God? I’m 24 years of age and so much had happened in my little years. Whenever I get depressed I used to always turn to external things such as pleasure, alcohol, drugs & etc. I also tried working out which it does work a little, but time catches on and I’m back in the same state I was before. By realizing that I’m imperfect and will always do wrong, God was my last option. Although coming to God doesn’t make you perfect, but it fills the emptiness within and gives you peace and fulfillment that the world couldn’t give❤️. Seek the Lord & call upon his name. I wish you the best from one stranger to another 🙏.
That guy who wanted to be an actor needs to take his own advice and do it now! He obviously was good when he was young and had the talent, pursuing dreams is not only for the young - go for it 💪🏻
Here my advise: eat healthy, exercise, 7-9hours of sleep, do not stress and get rid of ANYTHING that causes stress, do not compare yourself to others, go into a career you enjoy, less is more, and travel.
Avoiding stress isn't possible, but learning how to dance with it so we can put things in perspective is a fruitfull experience and a healthy life style ✌️
@@TheMappi. Nitpicking could be like nagging about every thing, or picking things apart to have to be correct, etc. Basically, don’t sweat the small stuff…..or pick your battles could be other cliches that have similar sentiments.
I’m 71. I loved my job, which was being what most people describe as a cog in a big company, but I loved being a part of a team, belonging every day. You can always learn more about your industry - always. I retired and now devote myself to an animal shelter. Both experiences have been wonderful!
Can I ask you for some advice? I have wasted past 3 years in laziness and depression. All my friends started college. I am still just a high school pass out. I only started working hard past week. Looking to join college next year. I will be 21 when I start. It is crushing me a lot. Repeated failures and disappointment in my parents eyes hurts a lot. My parents are absolutely supportive and amazing. They keep giving me chances but I keep blowing it up each time. Would it be okay?
@@Rama-fi3clRun to God, and ask Him to redeem the time the locust has eaten. Don't think of them as wasted time if it just going to bring you down. If thinking of them as wasted time, and it gives motivation to do better, then it's good. Or else just thinking of it as your slow time to recharge and save up energy of what's to come. Life has ups and downs and when it rains it pours. Next thing you know you wouldn't have time to think about your down time from before because you're too busy. Enjoy your moment and don't regret it, it happened because it was what you needed at that time. Thank you body for working so hard to keep you alive, and for putting up so much with everything that has been happening to you
@@livelikesong Well, during the video I was sad because it’s hard to find people in everyday life that seem good-spirited. And the ones that are are generally the older people that have the wisdom to understand life in a deeper sense, and therefore are departing. I’d like to meet people my age that have similar outlooks and interests but they’re super hard to find.
My advice to younger people is that if you want to travel, do it while you are young and healthy and have energy and curiosity. I always planned my life to assume that I could travel when I was older or retired, and got a mortgage at 21. I wish I had paused for a year or two to go and travel before tying myself down financially, because my health has taken an unexpectedly bad turn the last few years and at this stage I don't know if I will have the mobility and energy to be able to travel in my older years, whereas I could have in my younger years. Basically - don't put things off if you really want to do them, because you don't know what challenges you'll have as you get older that may stop you from doing them later in life.
Yes! My Dad traveled a lot young but wanted to do more when he retired. The month he retired he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed away few months later. Now I prioritize it when I can, even with my little kids- worth it!
Thank u 💕 I am lucky I def did this before even having children bc idk when I'll find the time & funds to do so for awhile. I got to see a handful of the wonders of the world while still young 🙌🏽 Peru Egypt Dubai Mexico 💕 I hope u will still be able to get your travels on 🤞🏽 even if not too far or grand dont let ur dream slip. U got this 💪🏽 it's still possible
The world is a wonder when you are young, and with globalization it become more and more the same. So yes, travel when young if possible, especially outdoor eg climb mountains, trekking etc.
I didn’t start traveling until I was 50 in 2002. Since then I have traveled to a LOT of places, even overseas. Been to Ireland, France, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, Alaska, California, Tennessee, Virginia. And I ain’t done 😉😃
Advice: Listen to people. Try to sincerely be interested in what another person has to say to you. Think of that person as being more important than yourself, smile, LISTEN. Say less, listen more. Your videos show you listening. What have you learned? That people know a lot, have experienced similar yet different lives. What can you learn from other people? This is what your videos are all about and I applaud you for bringing simple wisdom back to us. Be quiet and listen to others.
I love advice from "older" people (LOL. I'm 58). It's all so genuine and heartfelt. GRATITUDE... that's important. Not sure where I read this but it always resonated with me... Instead of beginning each day with an attitude of "Ugh, I HAVE to do this," change the thought to "I GET to do this." I think that if we are grateful for simple and mundane things, our brains get re-wired from negative to positive, and life becomes much richer. Faith is also important. I'd love to hear more from folks in the interviews about that. Great video! Thank you Will.
Thank you I will now use this broke the toilet trying to fix the cistern. I then said wow I get to fi it. Now save $150 an hour on plumberx as this releases your potential. You never know your potential until you put yourself out there.
Don’t let a sourpuss steal your dreams. I wanted to travel abroad in college and learn Spanish. My Spanish teacher said to the whole class “don’t even thing about going abroad unless you are at least an intermediate level of Spanish.” I was a freshman and in beginning Spanish. I dropped his Spanish class, never took another Spanish class, and didn’t go abroad because I didn’t think I was at the appropriate “level”. Big regret. Just because people have a bad experience in life doesn’t mean you will too (ex- marriages, having kids, etc) ❤
Please try to forgive her as hard as it may be. I had to do the same with my Marketing instructor in college after therapy and finding out her remarks to me, was one of the reasons I fell victim to striving for perfection, which lead to stagnantcy. Perfection is an illusion that can stunt your growth if not careful. I now recognize when others are trying to breath death into me instead of life and quickly remove myself from that energy. Words are more powerful than we care to admit....I hope you travel to your desired country soon with or WITHOUT knowing the native language ! It's Ok!!OK!!! Happy Travels!!!
I’m 69 now and I don’t have any major regrets. I was lucky to have many fun experiences in my 20-40’s. After that I worked hard making my money by selling my artwork, self employed. Was able to move to the country with my partner and have a couple horses. So far I’m happy with my decisions. 👍
That's the life I wish I had. 😢 Instead I'm on my way to retirement in my 30, because my social anxiety doesn't let me get a job, and it turns out I'm completely talentless in everthing but horses (which isn't a paid work where I live). So, no self employment and no more horses. 😢 My life is essentially over. 🤷🏻 I never wanted to be rich or famous or anything like that. Your life sounds like a dream. 🥺
@@RevanEde I realise this may be really hard to do, especially if you have severe social anxiety, but maybe care less about what other people think about you? There's a reason basically all of the elderly interviewees in the video give that advice. People generally don't give an f*** about you (as in what you do or what you look like). This might sound painfully direct, because it most likely is painfully direct, but it's also true. People don't care nearly as much as you think. Just think about it: how much do you care about how other people act/behave/dress if it doesn't hurt anybody else? Not a whole lot, right? That's how people will regard you too. Maybe it'll help you to actively decide to think this every time you get anxiety issues to make them more manageble? I have strugggled too, and still do with things, it's part of life. But there's no reason to make it harder than it has to be. And if you're already in that spot where you don't want to be (like extreme social anxiety)? It'll take time to change the pathways in your brain. A year or years, but I know you can do it. You probably need some good help with it, but I know you can do it. I got out of several depressions, a phobia for dogs, and developing OCD with persistence and time. It's possible. One little step at a time is great progress. Oh, and talent is overrated. You'll be able to go way further if you're just ok or good at something and are persistent in the practice than if you just have raw talent. My sister could've been in a big orchestra, she's that talented. She just never put it the effort to get that far and she was a bit lax with practice. There are probably people with less talent in that orchestra who did actually put in the work. And as a personal sidenote I also feel like telling people "you're so talented" kinda diminishes all the time and effort they put into developing that skill regardless what it is. Art, writing, music, things related to horses. It takes time and practice. Maybe you're a very artistically gifted person but you just need to put in a bit more time and practice in learning the skill and you could make beautiful horse related art you could sell? I'm certain there's a market for that :D There's a marked for basically anything you just have to find the right people.
@@RevanEdePerhaps there’s a way you could move to an area that has horse work. Even around St. Louis there is a place that rescues horses and they use them in therapy. Very fulfilling work.
My faith has made all the difference in my marriage, parenthood, friendships, in all aspects of life, and has given me courage and hope. It’s given my a good attitude, and in so doing has blessed everyone in my life.
For me it was the other around. I was raised catholic and women are just seen as stupid servants that can be abused and harassed and should say thank you after their mistreated. Getting rid of church and religion and a lot of therapy I was able to start a life.
My one word for finding “Love” is find someone that makes you laugh at yourself and often. I wake up in the morning and look at my beautiful wife, and know that the day will be great. 😊😊😊😊
Fight hard to learn to love and accept yourself. When you do that, you'll be too damn strong to let anyone who tries to make you feel "less than" overstay their welcome in you're beautiful life. LOVE YO SELF!!!!
I’ve been a bedside nurse for 10 years. Having lost my grandparents and dad at a young age, one of my greatest gifts from work is talking to older patients and visitors and asking for their life advice!
My advice is: Try to find good in the world. Yes, times may be though, but even if they are not, like 80% depends on your mind. Embrace gratitude and learn to love the world. It really is beautiful , but only if you look for it's beauty. Else, you won't enjoy life much, even if you have everything you could wish for.
There are “eternal” things and there are “temporal” things. Focus and sacrifice for the eternal things (relationships, family, deposit into people, your education), and not on the temporal things (house, things, appearance).
The advice at 1:40 is spot-on. My health was never good. I’m still waiting to enjoy my life, and I’m almost 30. Problem is, not all health problems can be prevented or treated well. Medical care isn’t as good as people think
@@fjorddenierbear4832 I’m actually doing it now! It seems meat is the only thing I don’t react to. Didn’t realize that the salicylates and oxalates in plants (their immune defense) is inflammatory to me, as my body can’t process them. Explains my allergic responses to Ibuprofen (salicylic acid). Thanks for the advice :)
You really can’t trust the medical doctors of today unless you absolutely have to. It’s important to manifest good health of body and mind as well as search for alternative remedies and doctors if need be. I’ve been in terrible health for many years and decided to take my health into my own hands. I’ve managed to cure issues that doctors had no clue how to help me with. Be your own advocate and research constantly. You’ll find answers. Also, read people’s posts. You’ll find golden nuggets that could also help you. The last thing is to be grateful for your perfect health before you have it. Know that you can and will be healed and feel great but act as if that has already happened. It sounds crazy but believe me… it works. Tell your body that you love it and trust that it has the ability to heal itself. It does and it will. Blessings🌸
I gotta highly recommend Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work. He just hit over 1 million subs on RUclips, as more and more people are awakening to what is possible, including when ‘modern medicine’ has nothing to offer. Check out some testimonials/stories of transformation, and/or watch some of his interviews, or check out his books and meditations. I hope you get a chance to really feel Good and Alive like you Know you are meant to feel on the inside and outside. 💕🌟 Best to you!
Amen to that!!!! I had always been a bit skeptical but 6 years ago, BC was my wakeup call. It's what we eat, drink, wear, put on our bodies (laundry detergent, shampoo, sunscreen, etc), and so much more. It all makes and keeps us sick. Dig deep for the real truth and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
My advice: Maintain a healthy marriage and raise well-adjusted children. Educate the children at home if possible. Practice a life without envy. Forgive others for their faults, even if they have deeply wounded you. And, acknowledge and improve upon your own faults - because you are not perfect. Have compassion for others, but don’t turn a blind eye to what is True. Understand that acceptance and empathy are not always virtuous.
Understand that you are different people at different stages of your life. Your 20 year old self has no conception of what your 50 year old self wants. You therefore need to make choices based on the person you will become otherwise you'll look back with nothing but regret.
We are in our 70s now..and are so glad we went on the adventure of our lives almost 50 years ago. We went on a two week European vacation that included major cities in four countries. Great memories of enjoying the "budget" hotels (older ones in the city centers)!
My advice to others is live a slow life. Never rush anything. Life nowadays is very fast like a rat race and everyone wants to run as fast as others but I really hate that lifestyle. I want to take time for whatever I do be it marriage or raising kids or daily life I have always had a slower pace and i truly enjoy every moment of my life ♥️
Itd be really great going to countries that are not well off and asking the same question. It would really add a lot to the thought provoking content here
So true. As a woman in her earlier 20s in a 3rd world country. A job that doesn't fit my passion is the least of my worries. There's a level of financial liberation you have to be at in order to live life a certain way. Stability and security are necessary before you start living a liberated lifestyle. At this point going hard at productivity to secure my child's future and generating generational wealth would send me to the grave with a smile. They'll enjoy life at the expense of mine and I'm happy with that❤
Live your life with contentment. Don't live with regrets for not telling someone that you love them, for not apologizing for your mistake, for not helping someone when you could. You never know if tomorrow you can see them again and can talk to them. So do it right away. Because Regret is the most painful thing you can experience in life. Thanks for your question.🙏
what I've learned, invest in other people's lives, remember everyone struggles at some stage. We often don't know what those close to us are going through. learn to forgive early and do what you can for someone besides yourself! Caring for animals is great too!
The gentleman in Japan speaking about his late father, I felt it deep. Mum, I hope you know I still look up to you, though you lived too short. Great parents are invaluable.
I love this, it makes me happy. I'm sitting here at my job contemplating taking a leap and quitting, starting my business, being a nomad, and traveling the world. Listening to this just confirms what I feel in my heart.
I watched a few of your videos, I really love the advice from the people. Though everyone lived a different life, I was able to resonate with all they said. I am only 23, I don't know much about life, still trying to learn, yet one simplest piece of advice I would like to give everyone is "Live", live your life to the fullest, experience everything, we never know if we will get a second chance. Learn from everything, it's okay to be a stupid, it's okay to be broken. Talk to people, learn from them, get to know different culture, religions, food, music, ideologies, etc. Live the fantasy that you always long for.
True and I would like to add eating healthy and investing money along the way. So many elderly people have alot of health issues that could have been prevented. It's all accumulative. What we feed our bodies determined our future health. What we save determined our future financial security. Avoid toxic people and environment too. Live below your means to avoid debt. Have a purpose in life. Don't rot in bed. Be grateful for everything. If you choose to marry know who you are before you select a partner. See her in all seasons before you marry her.
@@eileenwatt8283 I absolutely agree with want you said, Health should be our top priority, Health could end up being a bottleneck in our life, taking care of ourselves and people around us mentally and physically is very essential. And regarding the finances, having a clear financial mindset is essential to thrive in this world, and being cautious and not to fall into any debt traps is also important. But financial situation and the perspective towards money is different for different people, usually based on their upbringing. I just hope everyone lives a happy life but I know for sure that it will never be the case, sometimes I wonder how humans ended up like this, but I also think our outcome was deterministic from the get go, this is the only way it could have been...I know I went off topic but there are so many things we humans wonder about, I just hope everyone behaves kind to everyone else and try to live a honest life and be happy with they have (like you mentioned)
Try to get the things done that you want to get done as soon as possible. I am 50 and live with my son. My mother is now 86 and she told me once to enjoy your youth as long as possible because it will never come back. My late father, he was a bit younger then my mother, told me to just get started with ( just begin/ get started) what you want and then it will be okay. A friend of us has a garden maintain company and he told me to begin (with what ever) and when it does not go good, then the second time it will go good. Regards from a 🇳🇱 in 🇧🇪.
I’m 60 y/o. My parents worked hard for me and my siblings. Their basic goal was to work and save money because they wanted us to have what they didn’t have in their youth. They WANTED US TO STUDY, so my older sister and I did study. It’s funny that we both had a vocation. She was an english teacher and I was an Administrative Assistant to a Human Resources Director in a big company. People might think that my job isn’t a vocation, but to me it was, because I liked to help and “serve others”. To serve is a service and I was great at that. Not everyone has the ability to do that type of work but I always loved it. My little sister had mental health issues since young and she went to college but didn’t get to earn a degree. My parents also wanted us to have our own houses. So I got my apartment and my oldest sister and her husband bought their house. My little sister’s husband bought their home. At my thirties, I started having mental issues and eventually I was disabled. I hit rock bottom because it was the end of my career. My beloved older sister died relatively young from a heart attack. My youngest sister had a stroke and the right side of her body wasn’t the same anymore. So, my point is that life is hard and sometimes we do things in a certain way to honor our parents wishes. We left aside those things that maybe we dreamt of doing at a younger age, and we prioritize on what our parents did and wanted us to do. I feel like I wasted my time and my life. But I will always appreciate what my parents did for us. It’s true, take time while you’re young to get to know people in other countries and don’t leave this for when you’re retired. Who knows if you’ll never get to retire? It was great hearing what other people had to say about life and happiness. ☮️❤️
I don’t know-I genuinely feel like I’m living my dream life 🤷♀️ I guess people want different things-but I work in community nonprofit part time, where I get to do different things that I can find fun in each part everyday-and get paid a fair wage. I have a husband who is my best friend. I have two sweet and crazy little boys. I have a nice home in a good neighborhood. I prioritize my family, and close friends, and my faith. No it’s not perfect-life doesn’t have to be perfect to be good! I am so grateful for the many blessings I have in my life-and I try my best to grow, improve and serve others.
I am the same, I feel I am living my dream life. All I ever wanted to be was a mum and a stay at home mum at that, I currently have 2 young children and am pregnant with my 3rd. I feel so much gratitude that I get to raise them and I know this season of life will be a small moment in the grand scheme of time. Even if it’s hard I still love it and know I will miss it so much once they have grown up
thank you! - take many small steps - you can choose to be pissed about a situation, or take that as a lesson - play its always super nice to have a free conversation with a stranger that you will never meet again.
finding love in your circle is so true. we need to find people like minded as you. that means we need to communicate, go out more, make community out of it. Internet is not a nice place to be :(
Such great advice...and I m 75...So....still learning And living...I ve traveled alot so have fabulous experiences of different cultures languages, and people's lifestyles...I,ve learned so much....BE TRUE TO YOURSELF!!..WILL...Thnx...you Are so,Inspiring
Leave your comfort zone. The only way to expand the mind, keep the body healthy. Stop letting society, family, friends college, job, money, etc dictate your life! Most people remain right where they are when they retire. They got to comfortable, set in their ways to do something entirely different in their old age.
@@HighTechFan_Geek I show family, close friends the most beautiful scenery, resort marina photos, even photos of my monthly bills to prove there is no place cheaper, better to live. They won't even come for a visit, usually using job, family as a excuse not to. I just shake my head at that. Once in a lifetime opportunity to do something unique, different, where I will hold their hand the entire time, if they are scared, want me to, still no desire. So, I gave up asking. One decided to commit suicide instead. Thats hows brainwashed, scared of the world many Americans are. Sad!
My advice: No one is perfect so don't waste your time trying to achieve perfection. Involve yourself in things that light you up inside, & give your all to pursuing those things- Just Do Your Best. You will surprise yourself with all you can achieve. Everyone fears change. That fear protects us from doing things that can be harmful to us. Do not, however, let that fear dictate whether you attempt something new; do the new thing, despite the fear & trepidation you feel. The alternative is staying right where you are which most likely is a rut. And I agree with the people who say, "Learn something new every day." Be curious about the world in which we live, & enjoy expanding your horizons.
My advice for now is to date yourself before you date someone else and marry. Once you marry and have kids in the picture, things are different, especially if you want to raise them well. When it comes to your career, set up your priorities and boundaries. That way, you will avoid being used, and you will feel in control of your destiny and your life. Do not live for others, but be mindful of others. Only take student loans if that is your only option. You do not want to be enslaved by debt at the beginning of your financial journey. Last but not least, spend in buying and eating healthy foods. If you don't spend the money and the time on your health, you will spend them on your sickness. That is some of what i have learned so far.
I'm 45, I've always loved listening to elderly people. Even when I was a teenager I loved listening to my grandfather. I really only got to do that a couple times and I miss him a lot. But the ones that are willing to tell a story or just have a conversation with a younger person are usually worth listening too. If you still have the chance to have a good conversation with your grandparents, please take the time and do so
My advice to all the younger generation stay close to God he’ll guide you on the right path material things don’t last but your actions will stay God fearing and you’ll be content
I struggled with an illness for 22 years. I was finally diagnosed in 2019 and was given a simple enzyme. At 52 years old I started my life over after struggling to simply live for 22 years. Now I am in school, working at a very intense, high pressured physical job, and I do not intend to stop. All the dreams I had to let go of, I will realize. There are a lot! But I have tons of time now, and the great thing about it is, I don't stress over time. As long as I am healthy, I have plenty of time. If you don't have your health, you will have nothing and your dreams will die. Love yourself like you would love your child. ❤
@@sorenjunkers3834 EPI. Enzyme Pancreatic Insufficiency. Easy to get. Just eat tons of pasta and bread, (I was a runner) use all of your digestive enzymes, don’t replace them with fresh fruits & veggies, and your body will start disintegrating from malnutrition. 🙏 It is really that simple. Gods plan is so much better and does not involve cutting down the trees to grow wheat, barley & potatoes. We are part of this process.
I love how the majority of the answers point to "pursue your dreams" basically in the form of prioritizing doing what you love, study if you want to, travel if that's what you want, etc. And also prioritizing health, doing the stuff you love when you are young and energetic, and paying attention to your social relationships (family, friends, etc)
"Travel when you can (when you are younger) even if you only have the opportunity to travel to less nice places compared to the ones which are most popular but you have to save and wait till retirement"
Never regretted any trip I have ever taken. Only regret not doing more, but life is a dance of balance. God, Love, Family and Travel. Wanting and having new adventures hopefully all the way to the end.
Just came across your channel. What an inspirational message. I have been dealing with anxiety and depression for so long now, I truly wish to live again. I hope I can share your message with my son one day.
I am glad your videos are focusing on the older generation...We all hope to reach those milestones.I personally think listening to these interviews and my own beliefs..that wisdom comes with life experiences and age...I love and respect the elderly,I always have....listening to their thoughts, experiences is just fascinating. I may not always agree but I listen and converse!.I am an " old Boomer" now..and I hope if asked..I can impart some thoughts and wisdom...When you are an elder you have more years behind you than in front,use that time wisely..and be grateful to see the next days sun.😊
We all know we won't be here if we have no desire to change and grow. So be happy that instead of doing the same things you do over and over or doing unproductive things. We are here seeking change and improvement for ourselves.
I’ve always said I want to travel more but when the time comes I hate the stress it involves and inconveniences of flying. So I understand now I might not like it as much as I think I do. I like my routine, I like my peace, I do love road trips in SO Cal that I truly enjoy!
Don't listen to the judgment and values of others. Be true to yourself. A famous philosopher said the best feeling in the world to him was falling asleep, and he would wake himself to do it again. I believe it was Seneca, but don't quote me.
She has involuntarily tapped into your own self-loathing for eating cookies, or what the cookies represent. If you take one tiny little step today to change your automatic behaviours you can watch yourself take one more little step each day and...who knows where that can lead. 💛
As a 33 year old, I’ve watched too many of these interviews but every interview is still eye-opening. These actually made more impact to me. I want to follow their advice especially doing things I wanna do today and not putting them off. And I also wanna live a healthy lifestyle coz I wanna grow old like them ❤
Thank you!! My gradma lived well untill 107...she taught me a lot! Im very important your channel specially for new generations that are only focused on money and compare with others....Your interviews are a blessing and inspiration for a better world. the world needs more wisdom. Feel free to visit Portugal! you'll be welcome
Interesting perspectives. I am happy and have lived and living a wonderful life. I wake up everyday being grateful for what I have and I grab all my opportunities with both hands and run with them.
I've never had/wanted kids and I'm single but I've created a healthy support network of family and friends that fulfills me. I've also done so much internal work that others haven't stopped to do due to businesses of life. My advice: slow down and get to know yourself. Be honest about what you want and stop comparing it with what others want. Do things that scare you and things that comfort you. Spread happiness and love to others instead of always searching for it. ❤
Good job done interviewing elderly people and showing it to the world that family , friends and children are the finality for ultimate happiness and that’s what life is meant for Sukumar
Hi! I stumbled upon your channel not too long ago wheb i was trying to figure out my life. Love you questions. It helps me to learn about perspectives on life from ppl who went ahead of me. Also love seeing the diverse perspectives on life :).
Fascinating, worthy, young ones can listen yet it is impossible to process this fully till each and every one of us has personally turned that same corner of time (last third of our natural life).
Thank you, Will. So much love and hard work put in to share such a masterpiece for humanity. I will try to keep all the wisdom shared close to my heart with a wish that you will continue your journey of bringing love and joy to the lives of others as the blessings of the new year unfold for you and your loved ones. God bless us all ❤,
Advice from me, a 61 year old guy, is consider doing what I did and invest some time in your late teens or early twenties with a skilled therapist, even if you think nothing is wrong in your life. You will save time and maybe future heartache, getting to know who you really are, what truly makes you tick and then you can more accurately make decisions for yourself in your 20s, 30s, 40s about your life in accordance with who you really are, rather than who you wish to be or who others want you to be. It will save you a lot of time and avoid making major and costly life mistakes. Yes, it's ok to make mistakes and learn from them, but it's probably best if you can avoid huge mistakes that have lifelong implications.

Great video! it was good to hear folks from around the world their perspectives and regrets. As a 48y old definitely have a few regrets. thanks for sharing.
I always feel God ain't tryna have same experience in us. Reason why we are many, hence different. We're one spirit giving God different experiences. Accept you. God is pleased in just you, however you are. ❤
I almost gave up on my dream of being a yoga teacher and childhood educator (yes, both) to go to tech and make money. Now Im crying listening to the sir in ny talking about his regret. I know it would be mine in the future too.
I like your videos because they've most valuable advises from normal people, whom I cannot meet in real life but you made this possible. So, Thank you so much. Keep it up. Love from India ❤
I have to give you huge props for coming up with this concept. It’s very needed in your age bracket! You can learn lots from older people who have lost parts of their life, but have much information and advice to impart
Omg! I'm a married woman of 55 without kids and was caught by the title HAVE KIDS... I watched the whole video waiting for the part that I thought you would get to and found out that either having kids is not really important or that you will leave that for another video! Which one is right?
Lead a clean life, don't do things you are not supposed to do and try to be as positive as you can.because tomorrow is gonna be a better day unless you make it a worse day.
hey NYer, there is still time to pursue your dream! good character actors are hard to come by. presumably, now you have money-- be the inspired inspiration you can be ! "don't wear fear"
For me the best advice is: take care of your body, because you are going to live inside it for the rest of your life. Educate yourself in something valuable for you and for a lot of people. Don’t waste what you don’t have. Take care of good friends and family and keep them close genuinely.

If you could give any piece of advice to someone, what would it be? 💭
Live your life with contentment.
Don't live with regrets for not telling someone that you love them,
for not apologizing for your mistake,
for not helping someone when you could.
You never know if tomorrow you can see them again and can talk to them. So do it right away. Because Regret is the most painful thing you can experience in life.
Thanks for your question.🙏
Consistency with: Diet, exercise, hydration, self-care, self-love, up keep with general check ups, therapy, ….., it will sustain you through it all.
what's your best tip for being consistent?@@rosamoreno4794
how can we live our life with more contentment?@@koolbean6720
@@Sprouht Contentment is simple yet complex to understand.
To be happy we have to see the positive side of every situation. Spread love, be kind and empathetic towards others and avoid greed for material things and possessions.
Love but don't beg them to love you back.
Many times we are unhappy as things are not happening how we expect them to be. It is guaranteed disappointment.
So to experience contentment we should be like the droplet on lotus leaf. Attached detachment , Detached attachment..
I heard a great quote that stuck with me (said by a hospice patient who was dying). “At the end of life, there are no do-overs, especially with your health.” Take excellent care of your body. You only get one. ❤
One of the last remarks from my dying mother was "All that worry for nothing". It was a message to me that worry is a worthless activity.
Eat more, die young . . . 400lbs is extremely sexy these days according to social media
“You only get one”
To which I’d say
“For now”
Yep!! Doing my best to reverse the damage done to our family by diet, modern "medicine," store-bought hygiene and cleaning products, etc. People scoff and say it's hippie dippie fear-mongering nonsense but it really isn't - we've just been b r a i n w a s h e d to think it is. I used to be a scoffer but then I woke up. I can't unsee it. It was overwhelming at first but then it was liberating. Try it. You'll wish you had done it years ago.
Take really good care of your soul first. Not only do you only get one, but it's eternal, for better or worse
Being healthy is a huge plus in life. I’ve been sick most of my life & I don’t really enjoy life bc I’m in pain all the time. If you have your health, your life is rich.❤
I absolutely agree-it really is hard to enjoy and value life when your daily baseline is pain and discomfort, either physically or mentally-or both😓 I feel you🙏🏻
@Carey86 What ways have you found to best deal with the pain and enjoy life as much as you can?
I wish you good health!
@@resistapathy I was on a fentanyl lollipop for 18 years but got off it bc it stopped working and it’s not meant to be used for that long. I try to take meds and medical marijuana & fall asleep but I mostly just suffer. Going to get injections in my spine, hope that will work. Distracting myself by watching tv, playing games on my phone, painting or reading help when the pain isn’t too severe. When it’s really bad, I just lay in bed crying & praying the meds kick in and the pain it stops soon.
If you like to listen from dr Natasha Campbell-Mcbride: she addresses the root cause of diseases and has books and she has healed millions with her nutritional protocol
My advice: Learn the difference between: career, job, and vocation. They are all distinctly different things and I think this causes a LOT of stress and wastes a LOT of people's precious time. Define what 'success' looks like for YOU, whether that means living in a tent or a mansion, don't let others opinions influence the decisions you make.
This is excellent advice. I do feel like most of my generation (millennials) won't truly understand this until it's too late. I'm in my early 30's and have treated every job that I've had like a job while my peers treat it as a career expecting fulfillment.
Exactly, and if you need to lay in bed and eat cookies all day for a few weeks, a month, you have plenty of time to still grow from that, and be someone. Life takes many twists and turns.. and depression very well may be 1 of them.. and someone whose never been through depression likely won't understand that. Heal yourself first before you pressure yourself to do Anything else! People who force themselves through tough times without healing are far more likely to make bad decisions for the sake of just doing something.. possibly even hurting others in the process. Stop. Don't do that. Take care of yourself first.. and consider seeking help. Humans weren't made to do Everything alone! ❤
@@ree3197this advice means a lot to me. thank you 😭
How do you go about healing yourself? I'm 59 years old and feel like a ship that has lost its compass. I'm dealing with yet another episode of depression and i'm struggling to get back on my feet. The thing is i don't have a direction to go towards. The only real family i have is my elderly mother. The two remaining siblings i still have don't care about me really. Its so painful to be alone with your thoughts and are unable to free your heart from intense sadness and pain. It's like my inner child is crying out for someone to help me out of this mess. How do i find ME in all of this mental chatter? I've gone through therapy before and know how to use the tools, but it isn't working at this time. I know i'm a stranger on You Tube reaching out to you. But, i feel like i need something inside me to change or i don't think i can continue like this much longer.
@@tanastoiberg7981 have you try seeking God? I’m 24 years of age and so much had happened in my little years. Whenever I get depressed I used to always turn to external things such as pleasure, alcohol, drugs & etc. I also tried working out which it does work a little, but time catches on and I’m back in the same state I was before. By realizing that I’m imperfect and will always do wrong, God was my last option. Although coming to God doesn’t make you perfect, but it fills the emptiness within and gives you peace and fulfillment that the world couldn’t give❤️. Seek the Lord & call upon his name. I wish you the best from one stranger to another 🙏.
When she said “You can’t just lay in bed and eat cookies” I felt personally attacked

That guy who wanted to be an actor needs to take his own advice and do it now! He obviously was good when he was young and had the talent, pursuing dreams is not only for the young - go for it 💪🏻
Agreed! Why not, right?
I agree and he lives in new York! He could start in theatre, short films, whatever. Do it for the love
That’s exactly what I thought!
Exactly set up a social media account, hell even upload monologues to RUclips!
Here my advise: eat healthy, exercise, 7-9hours of sleep, do not stress and get rid of ANYTHING that causes stress, do not compare yourself to others, go into a career you enjoy, less is more, and travel.
Agreed! 😊
I totally agree. However, unfortunately, at least 99% of the people in the world don’t have the luxury of having just 1 of what was mentioned.
Avoiding stress isn't possible, but learning how to dance with it so we can put things in perspective is a fruitfull experience and a healthy life style ✌️
Avoid stress??? Really eh
99 % percent of people cannot exercize and eat healthy?

@@TheMappi. Nitpicking could be like nagging about every thing, or picking things apart to have to be correct, etc. Basically, don’t sweat the small stuff…..or pick your battles could be other cliches that have similar sentiments.

I’m 71. I loved my job, which was being what most people describe as a cog in a big company, but I loved being a part of a team, belonging every day. You can always learn more about your industry - always. I retired and now devote myself to an animal shelter. Both experiences have been wonderful!
I would like that also, I’m currently a business administration student
I am sooooooooooo happy for you. BTW - @ 71, you are still YOUNG. Do what makes you happy. The world needs MORE OF YOU!
I already feel you’re an awesome person
Can I ask you for some advice? I have wasted past 3 years in laziness and depression. All my friends started college. I am still just a high school pass out. I only started working hard past week. Looking to join college next year. I will be 21 when I start.
It is crushing me a lot. Repeated failures and disappointment in my parents eyes hurts a lot. My parents are absolutely supportive and amazing. They keep giving me chances but I keep blowing it up each time. Would it be okay?
@@Rama-fi3clRun to God, and ask Him to redeem the time the locust has eaten. Don't think of them as wasted time if it just going to bring you down. If thinking of them as wasted time, and it gives motivation to do better, then it's good. Or else just thinking of it as your slow time to recharge and save up energy of what's to come. Life has ups and downs and when it rains it pours. Next thing you know you wouldn't have time to think about your down time from before because you're too busy. Enjoy your moment and don't regret it, it happened because it was what you needed at that time. Thank you body for working so hard to keep you alive, and for putting up so much with everything that has been happening to you
I’m 32 and for almost the entire video I was captivated by sadness, but they’re all so optimistic and happy. These people are absolutely beautiful.
Why are you sad?
@@livelikesong Well, during the video I was sad because it’s hard to find people in everyday life that seem good-spirited. And the ones that are are generally the older people that have the wisdom to understand life in a deeper sense, and therefore are departing. I’d like to meet people my age that have similar outlooks and interests but they’re super hard to find.
@@Spartan-Of-Truth I see, it’s good that you’re aware because then you can do something about it. Where are you based if you don’t mind me asking?
@@livelikesong True, I just recently started to think differently in these aspects. I’m a bit of a traveler but currently reside in Idaho.
@@Spartan-Of-Truth cool stuff, you’ll find what you’re looking for, I wish you well .
My advice to younger people is that if you want to travel, do it while you are young and healthy and have energy and curiosity. I always planned my life to assume that I could travel when I was older or retired, and got a mortgage at 21. I wish I had paused for a year or two to go and travel before tying myself down financially, because my health has taken an unexpectedly bad turn the last few years and at this stage I don't know if I will have the mobility and energy to be able to travel in my older years, whereas I could have in my younger years. Basically - don't put things off if you really want to do them, because you don't know what challenges you'll have as you get older that may stop you from doing them later in life.
Yes! My Dad traveled a lot young but wanted to do more when he retired. The month he retired he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed away few months later. Now I prioritize it when I can, even with my little kids- worth it!
@@kaylachristenson9664 My condolences for the loss of your dad, but thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank u 💕 I am lucky I def did this before even having children bc idk when I'll find the time & funds to do so for awhile. I got to see a handful of the wonders of the world while still young 🙌🏽 Peru Egypt Dubai Mexico 💕 I hope u will still be able to get your travels on 🤞🏽 even if not too far or grand dont let ur dream slip. U got this 💪🏽 it's still possible
The world is a wonder when you are young, and with globalization it become more and more the same. So yes, travel when young if possible, especially outdoor eg climb mountains, trekking etc.
I didn’t start traveling until I was 50 in 2002. Since then I have traveled to a LOT of places, even overseas. Been to Ireland, France, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, Alaska, California, Tennessee, Virginia. And I ain’t done 😉😃
Advice: Listen to people. Try to sincerely be interested in what another person has to say to you. Think of that person as being more important than yourself, smile, LISTEN. Say less, listen more. Your videos show you listening. What have you learned? That people know a lot, have experienced similar yet different lives. What can you learn from other people?
This is what your videos are all about and I applaud you for bringing simple wisdom back to us. Be quiet and listen to others.
“I could nitpick to death but I choose not to do that because it doesn’t expand the relationship!” This lady delivered some golden nuggets
I love advice from "older" people (LOL. I'm 58). It's all so genuine and heartfelt. GRATITUDE... that's important. Not sure where I read this but it always resonated with me... Instead of beginning each day with an attitude of "Ugh, I HAVE to do this," change the thought to "I GET to do this." I think that if we are grateful for simple and mundane things, our brains get re-wired from negative to positive, and life becomes much richer. Faith is also important. I'd love to hear more from folks in the interviews about that. Great video! Thank you Will.
I agree 🎉
Wow , this help me a lot. I get to do this sound much better than ‘have to”. Thank you
I second the AGREE...🙏
Thank you I will now use this broke the toilet trying to fix the cistern. I then said wow I get to fi it. Now save $150 an hour on plumberx as this releases your potential. You never know your potential until you put yourself out there.

Don’t let a sourpuss steal your dreams. I wanted to travel abroad in college and learn Spanish. My Spanish teacher said to the whole class “don’t even thing about going abroad unless you are at least an intermediate level of Spanish.” I was a freshman and in beginning Spanish. I dropped his Spanish class, never took another Spanish class, and didn’t go abroad because I didn’t think I was at the appropriate “level”. Big regret. Just because people have a bad experience in life doesn’t mean you will too (ex- marriages, having kids, etc) ❤
Please try to forgive her as hard as it may be. I had to do the same with my Marketing instructor in college after therapy and finding out her remarks to me, was one of the reasons I fell victim to striving for perfection, which lead to stagnantcy. Perfection is an illusion that can stunt your growth if not careful. I now recognize when others are trying to breath death into me instead of life and quickly remove myself from that energy. Words are more powerful than we care to admit....I hope you travel to your desired country soon with or WITHOUT knowing the native language ! It's Ok!!OK!!! Happy Travels!!!
I’m 69 now and I don’t have any major regrets. I was lucky to have many fun experiences in my 20-40’s. After that I worked hard making my money by selling my artwork, self employed. Was able to move to the country with my partner and have a couple horses. So far I’m happy with my decisions. 👍
Good on yah
That's the life I wish I had. 😢 Instead I'm on my way to retirement in my 30, because my social anxiety doesn't let me get a job, and it turns out I'm completely talentless in everthing but horses (which isn't a paid work where I live). So, no self employment and no more horses. 😢 My life is essentially over. 🤷🏻 I never wanted to be rich or famous or anything like that. Your life sounds like a dream. 🥺
@@RevanEde I realise this may be really hard to do, especially if you have severe social anxiety, but maybe care less about what other people think about you? There's a reason basically all of the elderly interviewees in the video give that advice.
People generally don't give an f*** about you (as in what you do or what you look like). This might sound painfully direct, because it most likely is painfully direct, but it's also true.
People don't care nearly as much as you think. Just think about it: how much do you care about how other people act/behave/dress if it doesn't hurt anybody else? Not a whole lot, right? That's how people will regard you too. Maybe it'll help you to actively decide to think this every time you get anxiety issues to make them more manageble?
I have strugggled too, and still do with things, it's part of life. But there's no reason to make it harder than it has to be. And if you're already in that spot where you don't want to be (like extreme social anxiety)? It'll take time to change the pathways in your brain. A year or years, but I know you can do it. You probably need some good help with it, but I know you can do it.
I got out of several depressions, a phobia for dogs, and developing OCD with persistence and time. It's possible. One little step at a time is great progress.
Oh, and talent is overrated. You'll be able to go way further if you're just ok or good at something and are persistent in the practice than if you just have raw talent. My sister could've been in a big orchestra, she's that talented. She just never put it the effort to get that far and she was a bit lax with practice. There are probably people with less talent in that orchestra who did actually put in the work.
And as a personal sidenote I also feel like telling people "you're so talented" kinda diminishes all the time and effort they put into developing that skill regardless what it is. Art, writing, music, things related to horses. It takes time and practice. Maybe you're a very artistically gifted person but you just need to put in a bit more time and practice in learning the skill and you could make beautiful horse related art you could sell? I'm certain there's a market for that :D There's a marked for basically anything you just have to find the right people.
sounds like a dream! im glad to hear not everyone is trapped in a capitalistic hellscape these days.
@@RevanEdePerhaps there’s a way you could move to an area that has horse work. Even around St. Louis there is a place that rescues horses and they use them in therapy. Very fulfilling work.
My faith has made all the difference in my marriage, parenthood, friendships, in all aspects of life, and has given me courage and hope. It’s given my a good attitude, and in so doing has blessed everyone in my life.
For me it was the other around. I was raised catholic and women are just seen as stupid servants that can be abused and harassed and should say thank you after their mistreated. Getting rid of church and religion and a lot of therapy I was able to start a life.
My one word for finding “Love” is find someone that makes you laugh at yourself and often. I wake up in the morning and look at my beautiful wife, and know that the day will be great. 😊😊😊😊
Sweet ...not everyone is lucky in love....Congrats...
You obviously made GOOD CHOICES. Same here. My "King" makes me laugh every day. At him, and myself. It's priceless!
@@s.p.baughman7885 There is no "luck" involved. He was true to himself, and so was she: THUS they were led to each other. You get what you settle for.
In my humble opinion being grateful will make the biggest change in enjoying life. Remember you’re not rich until you have something money can’t buy.
FACTS
Fight hard to learn to love and accept yourself. When you do that, you'll be too damn strong to let anyone who tries to make you feel "less than" overstay their welcome in you're beautiful life. LOVE YO SELF!!!!
“Overstay their welcome in your beautiful life”. I love that!❤️❤️❤️
❤
Expand on that please.
I’ve been a bedside nurse for 10 years. Having lost my grandparents and dad at a young age, one of my greatest gifts from work is talking to older patients and visitors and asking for their life advice!
My favorite is a Japanese woman who advised to treat everyone as they are important ❤
My advice is: Try to find good in the world. Yes, times may be though, but even if they are not, like 80% depends on your mind. Embrace gratitude and learn to love the world. It really is beautiful , but only if you look for it's beauty. Else, you won't enjoy life much, even if you have everything you could wish for.
There are “eternal” things and there are “temporal” things. Focus and sacrifice for the eternal things (relationships, family, deposit into people, your education), and not on the temporal things (house, things, appearance).
Thanks to you
The advice at 1:40 is spot-on. My health was never good. I’m still waiting to enjoy my life, and I’m almost 30. Problem is, not all health problems can be prevented or treated well. Medical care isn’t as good as people think
Try carnivore diet if you havent
@@fjorddenierbear4832 I’m actually doing it now! It seems meat is the only thing I don’t react to. Didn’t realize that the salicylates and oxalates in plants (their immune defense) is inflammatory to me, as my body can’t process them. Explains my allergic responses to Ibuprofen (salicylic acid). Thanks for the advice :)
You really can’t trust the medical doctors of today unless you absolutely have to. It’s important to manifest good health of body and mind as well as search for alternative remedies and doctors if need be. I’ve been in terrible health for many years and decided to take my health into my own hands. I’ve managed to cure issues that doctors had no clue how to help me with. Be your own advocate and research constantly. You’ll find answers. Also, read people’s posts. You’ll find golden nuggets that could also help you.
The last thing is to be grateful for your perfect health before you have it. Know that you can and will be healed and feel great but act as if that has already happened. It sounds crazy but believe me… it works. Tell your body that you love it and trust that it has the ability to heal itself. It does and it will. Blessings🌸
I gotta highly recommend Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work. He just hit over 1 million subs on RUclips, as more and more people are awakening to what is possible, including when ‘modern medicine’ has nothing to offer. Check out some testimonials/stories of transformation, and/or watch some of his interviews, or check out his books and meditations. I hope you get a chance to really feel Good and Alive like you Know you are meant to feel on the inside and outside. 💕🌟 Best to you!
Amen to that!!!! I had always been a bit skeptical but 6 years ago, BC was my wakeup call. It's what we eat, drink, wear, put on our bodies (laundry detergent, shampoo, sunscreen, etc), and so much more. It all makes and keeps us sick. Dig deep for the real truth and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
My advice: Maintain a healthy marriage and raise well-adjusted children. Educate the children at home if possible. Practice a life without envy. Forgive others for their faults, even if they have deeply wounded you. And, acknowledge and improve upon your own faults - because you are not perfect. Have compassion for others, but don’t turn a blind eye to what is True. Understand that acceptance and empathy are not always virtuous.
❤❤❤❤
So be it! ✝️
Very good advice..
YES!!!!
What does “understand that acceptance and empathy are not always virtuous” mean? @thea118
2:40 The best 3 piece of advice. Be brave, be true to yourself, be kind.
Understand that you are different people at different stages of your life. Your 20 year old self has no conception of what your 50 year old self wants. You therefore need to make choices based on the person you will become otherwise you'll look back with nothing but regret.
Excellent point. How do you do that?
We are in our 70s now..and are so glad we went on the adventure of our lives almost 50 years ago. We went on a two week European vacation that included major cities in four countries. Great memories of enjoying the "budget" hotels (older ones in the city centers)!
My advice to others is live a slow life. Never rush anything. Life nowadays is very fast like a rat race and everyone wants to run as fast as others but I really hate that lifestyle. I want to take time for whatever I do be it marriage or raising kids or daily life I have always had a slower pace and i truly enjoy every moment of my life ♥️
Itd be really great going to countries that are not well off and asking the same question. It would really add a lot to the thought provoking content here
OMG YES
So true. As a woman in her earlier 20s in a 3rd world country. A job that doesn't fit my passion is the least of my worries. There's a level of financial liberation you have to be at in order to live life a certain way. Stability and security are necessary before you start living a liberated lifestyle. At this point going hard at productivity to secure my child's future and generating generational wealth would send me to the grave with a smile. They'll enjoy life at the expense of mine and I'm happy with that❤
Good point.
Live your life with contentment.
Don't live with regrets for not telling someone that you love them,
for not apologizing for your mistake,
for not helping someone when you could.
You never know if tomorrow you can see them again and can talk to them. So do it right away. Because Regret is the most painful thing you can experience in life.
Thanks for your question.🙏
Love what the lady in 2:38 says: be brave, be true to yourself and be kind ❤
what I've learned, invest in other people's lives, remember everyone struggles at some stage. We often don't know what those close to us are going through. learn to forgive early and do what you can for someone besides yourself! Caring for animals is great too!
The gentleman in Japan speaking about his late father, I felt it deep. Mum, I hope you know I still look up to you, though you lived too short. Great parents are invaluable.
I love this, it makes me happy. I'm sitting here at my job contemplating taking a leap and quitting, starting my business, being a nomad, and traveling the world. Listening to this just confirms what I feel in my heart.
I watched a few of your videos, I really love the advice from the people. Though everyone lived a different life, I was able to resonate with all they said. I am only 23, I don't know much about life, still trying to learn, yet one simplest piece of advice I would like to give everyone is "Live", live your life to the fullest, experience everything, we never know if we will get a second chance. Learn from everything, it's okay to be a stupid, it's okay to be broken. Talk to people, learn from them, get to know different culture, religions, food, music, ideologies, etc. Live the fantasy that you always long for.
🙏🏻
True and I would like to add eating healthy and investing money along the way.
So many elderly people have alot of health issues that could have been prevented. It's all accumulative. What we feed our bodies determined our future health. What we save determined our future financial security. Avoid toxic people and environment too. Live below your means to avoid debt.
Have a purpose in life. Don't rot in bed. Be grateful for everything. If you choose to marry know who you are before you select a partner. See her in all seasons before you marry her.
We have to be intentional with our health.
@@eileenwatt8283 I absolutely agree with want you said, Health should be our top priority, Health could end up being a bottleneck in our life, taking care of ourselves and people around us mentally and physically is very essential. And regarding the finances, having a clear financial mindset is essential to thrive in this world, and being cautious and not to fall into any debt traps is also important. But financial situation and the perspective towards money is different for different people, usually based on their upbringing. I just hope everyone lives a happy life but I know for sure that it will never be the case, sometimes I wonder how humans ended up like this, but I also think our outcome was deterministic from the get go, this is the only way it could have been...I know I went off topic but there are so many things we humans wonder about, I just hope everyone behaves kind to everyone else and try to live a honest life and be happy with they have (like you mentioned)
@@Healthyagingwithmarvin Yes health is very important, I wonder why I missed that haha
Try to get the things done that you want to get done as soon as possible. I am 50 and live with my son. My mother is now 86 and she told me once to enjoy your youth as long as possible because it will never come back. My late father, he was a bit younger then my mother, told me to just get started with ( just begin/ get started) what you want and then it will be okay. A friend of us has a garden maintain company and he told me to begin (with what ever) and when it does not go good, then the second time it will go good. Regards from a 🇳🇱 in 🇧🇪.
I’m 60 y/o. My parents worked hard for me and my siblings. Their basic goal was to work and save money because they wanted us to have what they didn’t have in their youth. They WANTED US TO STUDY, so my older sister and I did study. It’s funny that we both had a vocation. She was an english teacher and I was an Administrative Assistant to a Human Resources Director in a big company. People might think that my job isn’t a vocation, but to me it was, because I liked to help and “serve others”. To serve is a service and I was great at that. Not everyone has the ability to do that type of work but I always loved it. My little sister had mental health issues since young and she went to college but didn’t get to earn a degree. My parents also wanted us to have our own houses. So I got my apartment and my oldest sister and her husband bought their house. My little sister’s husband bought their home. At my thirties, I started having mental issues and eventually I was disabled. I hit rock bottom because it was the end of my career. My beloved older sister died relatively young from a heart attack. My youngest sister had a stroke and the right side of her body wasn’t the same anymore. So, my point is that life is hard and sometimes we do things in a certain way to honor our parents wishes. We left aside those things that maybe we dreamt of doing at a younger age, and we prioritize on what our parents did and wanted us to do. I feel like I wasted my time and my life. But I will always appreciate what my parents did for us. It’s true, take time while you’re young to get to know people in other countries and don’t leave this for when you’re retired. Who knows if you’ll never get to retire? It was great hearing what other people had to say about life and happiness. ☮️❤️
I feel for you. It's very familiar to me what you said. I feel the same.
Parents always do the best for their children...
@@KumariKumari-fw7ncnot always...they certainly should though.
Despite what happened to you it's nice to see that you're happy for others. You're a great person.❤

I don’t know-I genuinely feel like I’m living my dream life 🤷♀️ I guess people want different things-but I work in community nonprofit part time, where I get to do different things that I can find fun in each part everyday-and get paid a fair wage. I have a husband who is my best friend. I have two sweet and crazy little boys. I have a nice home in a good neighborhood. I prioritize my family, and close friends, and my faith. No it’s not perfect-life doesn’t have to be perfect to be good! I am so grateful for the many blessings I have in my life-and I try my best to grow, improve and serve others.
Same as you! love my life!
I am the same, I feel I am living my dream life. All I ever wanted to be was a mum and a stay at home mum at that, I currently have 2 young children and am pregnant with my 3rd. I feel so much gratitude that I get to raise them and I know this season of life will be a small moment in the grand scheme of time. Even if it’s hard I still love it and know I will miss it so much once they have grown up
Watching the couple in blue at 18:15 reminded me what was important to me and what I wanted, to hold my wife's hand in mine everyday of our lives.
thank you!
- take many small steps
- you can choose to be pissed about a situation, or take that as a lesson
- play
its always super nice to have a free conversation with a stranger that you will never meet again.
I'm a Japanese person studying English, and since there are English subtitles, I can also study listening skills.

Bro nobody said "have kids" and you are still putting it on evey video's thumbnail. You are causing a misunderstanding.
Clickbait makes people watch the entire videos waiting to get the message, it's more like a scam.....
Yeah, what the hell?😂
finding love in your circle is so true. we need to find people like minded as you. that means we need to communicate, go out more, make community out of it. Internet is not a nice place to be :(
😢
Such great advice...and I m 75...So....still learning And living...I ve traveled alot so have fabulous experiences of different cultures languages, and people's lifestyles...I,ve learned so much....BE TRUE TO YOURSELF!!..WILL...Thnx...you Are so,Inspiring
Leave your comfort zone. The only way to expand the mind, keep the body healthy. Stop letting society, family, friends college, job, money, etc dictate your life!
Most people remain right where they are when they retire. They got to comfortable, set in their ways to do something entirely different in their old age.
Especially society. 😢😢😢tired off it
It's easy to say.. if I do that I lost my job and lot of money, and I'll have more anxiety
@@HighTechFan_Geek I show family, close friends the most beautiful scenery, resort marina photos, even photos of my monthly bills to prove there is no place cheaper, better to live. They won't even come for a visit, usually using job, family as a excuse not to. I just shake my head at that. Once in a lifetime opportunity to do something unique, different, where I will hold their hand the entire time, if they are scared, want me to, still no desire. So, I gave up asking. One decided to commit suicide instead. Thats hows brainwashed, scared of the world many Americans are. Sad!
My advice:
No one is perfect so don't waste your time trying to achieve perfection.
Involve yourself in things that light you up inside, & give your all to pursuing those things- Just Do Your Best. You will surprise yourself with all you can achieve.
Everyone fears change. That fear protects us from doing things that can be harmful to us. Do not, however, let that fear dictate whether you attempt something new; do the new thing, despite the fear & trepidation you feel. The alternative is staying right where you are which most likely is a rut.
And I agree with the people who say, "Learn something new every day." Be curious about the world in which we live, & enjoy expanding your horizons.
My advice is: practice gratitude every day, enjoy your life, day per day, prayer, and never don't compare yourself to others.
My advice for now is to date yourself before you date someone else and marry. Once you marry and have kids in the picture, things are different, especially if you want to raise them well. When it comes to your career, set up your priorities and boundaries. That way, you will avoid being used, and you will feel in control of your destiny and your life. Do not live for others, but be mindful of others. Only take student loans if that is your only option. You do not want to be enslaved by debt at the beginning of your financial journey. Last but not least, spend in buying and eating healthy foods. If you don't spend the money and the time on your health, you will spend them on your sickness. That is some of what i have learned so far.
I'm 45, I've always loved listening to elderly people. Even when I was a teenager I loved listening to my grandfather. I really only got to do that a couple times and I miss him a lot. But the ones that are willing to tell a story or just have a conversation with a younger person are usually worth listening too. If you still have the chance to have a good conversation with your grandparents, please take the time and do so
My advice to all the younger generation stay close to God he’ll guide you on the right path material things don’t last but your actions will stay God fearing and you’ll be content

I love this because it gives a role back to aging people in our society. You can give advice, lead the way and inspire others no matter your age.
Watching IG or RUclips sometimes makes me anxious. But your channel always gives me calm.
i got you.
What the japanese lady said at 7:52 really moved me, a very deep way of valuing each encounter life offers.
I struggled with an illness for 22 years. I was finally diagnosed in 2019 and was given a simple enzyme. At 52 years old I started my life over after struggling to simply live for 22 years. Now I am in school, working at a very intense, high pressured physical job, and I do not intend to stop. All the dreams I had to let go of, I will realize. There are a lot! But I have tons of time now, and the great thing about it is, I don't stress over time. As long as I am healthy, I have plenty of time. If you don't have your health, you will have nothing and your dreams will die. Love yourself like you would love your child. ❤
What illnes did you have
@@sorenjunkers3834 exocrine pancreatic enzyme insufficiency or EPI
@@sorenjunkers3834 EPI. Enzyme Pancreatic Insufficiency. Easy to get. Just eat tons of pasta and bread, (I was a runner) use all of your digestive enzymes, don’t replace them with fresh fruits & veggies, and your body will start disintegrating from malnutrition. 🙏 It is really that simple. Gods plan is so much better and does not involve cutting down the trees to grow wheat, barley & potatoes. We are part of this process.
I love how the majority of the answers point to "pursue your dreams" basically in the form of prioritizing doing what you love, study if you want to, travel if that's what you want, etc. And also prioritizing health, doing the stuff you love when you are young and energetic, and paying attention to your social relationships (family, friends, etc)
My favorite part of these interviews is the old people. Love that wisdom. Phenomenal.
"Travel when you can (when you are younger) even if you only have the opportunity to travel to less nice places compared to the ones which are most popular but you have to save and wait till retirement"
Absolutely.
I travelled when young best thing I have done, when young you own the world😅.
@@mvnorsel6354 absolutely! on and off for 10 years, worth every cent!
@@mvnorsel6354what are your worst and best things done while travelling?
Never regretted any trip I have ever taken. Only regret not doing more, but life is a dance of balance. God, Love, Family and Travel. Wanting and having new adventures hopefully all the way to the end.
this makes me love the sincerity humor and wisdom of the japanese people
Thanks!
As an adult who just turned 30yo, your videos always make me sad but hopeful.
Just came across your channel. What an inspirational message. I have been dealing with anxiety and depression for so long now, I truly wish to live again. I hope I can share your message with my son one day.
I am glad your videos are focusing on the older generation...We all hope to reach those milestones.I personally think listening to these interviews and my own beliefs..that wisdom comes with life experiences and age...I love and respect the elderly,I always have....listening to their thoughts, experiences is just fascinating. I may not always agree but I listen and converse!.I am an " old Boomer" now..and I hope if asked..I can impart some thoughts and wisdom...When you are an elder you have more years behind you than in front,use that time wisely..and be grateful to see the next days sun.😊
Luck has nothing to do with it. They are blessed beyond measure.
We all know we won't be here if we have no desire to change and grow. So be happy that instead of doing the same things you do over and over or doing unproductive things. We are here seeking change and improvement for
ourselves.
I’ve always said I want to travel more but when the time comes I hate the stress it involves and inconveniences of flying. So I understand now I might not like it as much as I think I do. I like my routine, I like my peace, I do love road trips in SO Cal that I truly enjoy!
The Happy ones are those who are self aware. The Happiest are the ones Who Followed their heart and they look younger
"you can't just lie in bed and eat cookies, you have to get up" why is this lady personally attacking me
Depression lad here. I also feel personally attacked
😅
Because you think everything is about you.
Don't listen to the judgment and values of others. Be true to yourself. A famous philosopher said the best feeling in the world to him was falling asleep, and he would wake himself to do it again. I believe it was Seneca, but don't quote me.
She has involuntarily tapped into your own self-loathing for eating cookies, or what the cookies represent. If you take one tiny little step today to change your automatic behaviours you can watch yourself take one more little step each day and...who knows where that can lead. 💛
As a 33 year old, I’ve watched too many of these interviews but every interview is still eye-opening. These actually made more impact to me. I want to follow their advice especially doing things I wanna do today and not putting them off. And I also wanna live a healthy lifestyle coz I wanna grow old like them ❤
Thank you!! My gradma lived well untill 107...she taught me a lot! Im very important your channel specially for new generations that are only focused on money and compare with others....Your interviews are a blessing and inspiration for a better world. the world needs more wisdom. Feel free to visit Portugal! you'll be welcome
why do old people stay home all the time?

@@Essays4Collegelack of money and lack of movement. When it hurts to get out of a chair or walk they tend to sit more which compounds that problem.
"Youth is wasted on the young" is an adage that always stuck with me
Interesting perspectives. I am happy and have lived and living a wonderful life. I wake up everyday being grateful for what I have and I grab all my opportunities with both hands and run with them.
I've never had/wanted kids and I'm single but I've created a healthy support network of family and friends that fulfills me. I've also done so much internal work that others haven't stopped to do due to businesses of life.
My advice: slow down and get to know yourself. Be honest about what you want and stop comparing it with what others want. Do things that scare you and things that comfort you. Spread happiness and love to others instead of always searching for it. ❤
“You’re always looking for that piece of the jigsaw puzzle to complete you when you should be complete to begin with.” ✊
Good job done interviewing elderly people and showing it to the world that family , friends and children are the finality for ultimate happiness and that’s what life is meant for Sukumar
Hi! I stumbled upon your channel not too long ago wheb i was trying to figure out my life. Love you questions. It helps me to learn about perspectives on life from ppl who went ahead of me. Also love seeing the diverse perspectives on life :).
Thanks for being here!
Fascinating, worthy, young ones can listen yet it is impossible to process this fully till each and every one of us has personally turned that same corner of time (last third of our natural life).
Thank you, Will. So much love and hard work put in to share such a masterpiece for humanity.

Advice from me, a 61 year old guy, is consider doing what I did and invest some time in your late teens or early twenties with a skilled therapist, even if you think nothing is wrong in your life. You will save time and maybe future heartache, getting to know who you really are, what truly makes you tick and then you can more accurately make decisions for yourself in your 20s, 30s, 40s about your life in accordance with who you really are, rather than who you wish to be or who others want you to be. It will save you a lot of time and avoid making major and costly life mistakes. Yes, it's ok to make mistakes and learn from them, but it's probably best if you can avoid huge mistakes that have lifelong implications.
For people who can't afford it, what questions did your therapist ask, how to answer the questions properly therapeutically?
👏🏻👏🏻
Can't afford therapy, mate 🥲

I almost gave up on my dream of being a yoga teacher and childhood educator (yes, both) to go to tech and make money. Now Im crying listening to the sir in ny talking about his regret. I know it would be mine in the future too.
Thank you, this video touched me. Being in a presence of older people is so calming. It made me miss my GrandMa she was so much fun.
I like your videos because they've most valuable advises from normal people, whom I cannot meet in real life but you made this possible. So, Thank you so much. Keep it up. Love from India ❤
I have to give you huge props for coming up with this concept. It’s very needed in your age bracket! You can learn lots from older people who have lost parts of their life, but have much information and advice to impart
Omg! I'm a married woman of 55 without kids and was caught by the title HAVE KIDS... I watched the whole video waiting for the part that I thought you would get to and found out that either having kids is not really important or that you will leave that for another video! Which one is right?
Kids are not the center of the universe. ❤
Same here. Only clicked to see what they would share about kids.
Hahaha....I waited for that part and it didn't come..yet it was what caught my attention
Haha same 😂

hey NYer, there is still time to pursue your dream! good character actors are hard to come by. presumably, now you have money-- be the inspired inspiration you can be ! "don't wear fear"

For me the best advice is:
take care of your body, because you are going to live inside it for the rest of your life.
Educate yourself in something valuable for you and for a lot of people.
Don’t waste what you don’t have.
Take care of good friends and family and keep them close genuinely.
