    Outstanding 5 things to stop doing. I know I’m guilty of doing all five but “worry” is my biggest Achilles heel. Excellent discussion! At 70 I don’t have a lot of time to waste doing things that aren’t beneficial

    I’m in my early 30s…not of your generation. But my dad recently lost his battle to cancer at age 58. When I would take him to his cancer treatment, all we would talk about to pass the time was what we were going to do when he got better. We had a laundry list. This really affected me when he passed, and I was certainly sobered by it. Thank you so much for your channel. I’ve subscribed ❤

Not because I don’t like them .. but to move forward with peace and trying…to enjoy life. I had to delete them. My social circle dwindles more each month and years.. I don’t care anymore what people think of me

    You both came to me on my feed for a reason. Our Creator sent you here because he knows I’m going through a tough time in coping with the state of the world right now. I live worrying for the future but having watched you two just now, I am going to do my best to live for today as tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. I’m 58 too and semi retired but I’m fortunate in that I’m doing a job I love so that’s no hardship. I’m a pre school teacher and on a 6 wk break here in the UK. The kids keep me young. Last year I went in a health journey and I have lost over 2 and a half stone with a bit more to go yet but I’ll get there. Thank you both so much. I have subscribed. Have a great day and thanks again!

    I’m 58, retired at 50. I realize that I’m not “relevant” anymore in the business community. As I’m walking in the mornings, I see the people heading to the plantation. I forget that 99.9% would give their right arm to change places. I haven’t been able to characterize this stage of life until I heard you say “young seniors”. That puts everything into perspective.

    This is a great video and I concur with it all. One of my favorite passage is Matt 6:26-“Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” I suffered an ischemic stroke and breast cancer 3 years ago at 57, cancer free but still working through stroke recovery but my life changed for the better. No longer working the stressful managerial job, gave up smoking and alcohol after the stroke and eating healthy (self-care) because I appreciate life more than ever. I don’t take my time for granted at 61 if I live to 90 that’s 29 summers left and since the stroke forced me into early retirement I’ve started traveling domestic and/or international with family/friends ❤.

Your video popped up as RUclips suggestion & helped me so much with comfort & direction, especially in the health, taking time for granted, and stop living with regret areas. New to this phase of life in my early 50s as a "young senior," this is just what I needed to hear - I watched it 3 times & will listen to this again for sure as I don't have parents to help me with valuable advice like this. What an incredible blessing your channel is - just subscribed. God bless you both! 7.31.24

    New subscriber and I am so glad I found your channel. I am 64 and since I have been about 58 I have been wishing the years away to retirement because I have a stressful job that I don’t enjoy. I was married for 42 years and have been separated for about 8 months which I am having a lot of trouble adjusting to. I also suffer from depression and anxiety and fear pretty much everything. I am that negative person, I want to make changes so bad and am seeing a therapist but your video really hit home with me. The last one really hit me since my separation. I feel like such a failure because I thought I would grow old and die with my high school sweetheart. I know I need to think more about my faith and do more self care. I am now subscribed and look forward to your next video and will be going back to watch your previous videos. 😊

      Hi Shelia, I have just found this channel too, and I'm so pleased that I have. I just want you to know that when I read your post my first thought was how much that I admire you. You have had more than enough to deal with and yet you are doing all that you can to turn things around. Going to a therapist is a big deal, lots of people can't make that step for various reasons. You are not blaming anybody for your life and dealing with anxiety and depression are massive challenges in there own right. You may describe yourself as negative, and clearly I don't know you, but to me you come across as an inspiration! Plus it appears to me to be a normal human reaction to feel low/negative after a marriage break down. Sending you a virtual hug.
