I had a chance to sit down with a 103 year old and ask her for her best life lessons.

I am 70 y/o. One thing I have learned is that humans are more flexible that they realize. I have had several careers not because I wanted to change because I had to. Farm labor, flour mill work, clinical pharmacist, large scale organic farmer were some of the major things I did. I would have loved to farm all my life. But I had a special needs child and I needed health insurance. So I went to pharmacy school for three years when I was 34. I studied seven hours a day and finished near the top of my class. Some classmates called me "geezer." I did pharmacy for a number of years and made good money and had health insurance too! When my son got into college he could get insurance, I quit pharmacy and returned to farming. I would not have made all these changes unless I had to do them. And I found I got a lot of satisfaction by learning new things and doing them well. Life is an adventure!
Love this! ❤
Life is an adventure? I cant say that...i think its a struggle
@@chriscampbell9207 Most adventures have a bountiful amount of struggle.
Life is a great adventure, indeed!
Thank you for sharing!
My grandma just passed at 104 and she talked about love, angels and eating close to nature. Family and love ❤️ first. She reminds me of my grandma. Great interview. Thank you. 😊
Hello nice to meet you
Bless you and your grandma.
I hope you live a long happy life like your wonderful grandma 🥰
Thank you for sharing you are immensely blessed to have had such a beautiful ❤️ grandmother. My condolences and remember she continues to live within you always.
@@LivingLifetotheFullest-cm2ib So sorry for your loss -- and yes, it is always loss when a loved one dies, at any age. My grandfather died at 101 when I was almost 50, and I felt it profoundly, especially since he had all his cognitive faculties. Someone once said when an elderly person dies, a library burns. So true.
Only the fact that she is sitting with 103yo in front of a computer having a zoomcall shows how openminded she is. Positive person, willing to learn and never stop living but waiting for the end.
“Reach for Life. If you’re reaching for life, life reaches back to you.”
"Find something you love and love it to pieces."
*I learnt Most of This topic from 5200 Years old Indian Book "BHagvat Geeta" ,, Karma kar GOD pe Chhod,, Means,,, Do Your best & Let God Give you Result, Accept it*
So true
The wisdom of age. She has lived and deserves to be listened to and respected.
Agreed.
I think it's not the wisdom of age but the wisdom of being observant and being able to learn from mistakes.
Not every old man has that wisdom.
the social security administration HATES this lady. collecting that check for decades when the govt. wanted her dead at the median age of 78-80...
Everyone deserves to be listened to and respected!
@@Mockduck2020 even those who spread bigotry and hatred? The intolerant and narrow minded? I think not. The woman in the clip shows wisdom and understanding and that’s what shines about her.
I am in my early 60s and retired at 53. Lots of people gave me pushback because they had difficulty grasping the concept of not working if you don’t have to. I looked at my life as stages. I earned everything I have now through a lot of hard work, but I owe it to myself to “stop and smell the roses” in my final stage of life. In my case I left the country after I retired and live in Latin America. It allowed me to get away from all the negative things happening in America while appreciating my new environment. I have yet to meet anyone who regrets retirement.
Nice way to retire. For me, I believe retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My wife and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement.
This is true. I'm in my mid 40's now. My wife and I were following this same trajectory. Last two years, I pulled out my money and invested with her wealth manager. Not catching up with her profits over the years, but at least I earn more. I'm making money even before retiring, and my retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha.
It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than a million dollars by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.
I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.
I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. Finding financial advisors like Marisa Breton Dollard who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
One of the things I notice about her is she doesn't get hung up on grief and loss, and I am sure she has had a lifetime of it. That is a tricky one for people to navigate. Grief ages people tremendously. The pain is practically etched on their faces. Finding the joy in living no matter your circumstances is mandatory in living a happy life. There's no getting around it.
Yes, I agree so much. Living so long definitely had some serious bumps on the road. Like she mentioned divorcing in her 70s! I bet she was wishing to care for another when being old, as people do in marriage, and it was taken from her. And she is still quite happy, that's admirable. And brave.
@@tajakjejtamIts because shes realised that just being alive is itself amazing. Something we all need to take from this.
And they're isn't any cure for grieving. I've lost 13 people in the last 14 years now.
Grief and loss are held in the body, the nervous system, though. I never held on to the multiple losses and all the grief and anger in my life, cognitively. I lived on in joy. But my body knew, and I became extremely ill and housebound at 49 right in the height of a business that was going very well, a beautiful romantic relationship, one child going into grad school, and the other one in high school. I learned that when there's a lot of trauma and stress in your life, your body will break down and get sick. Even if you cognitively do not realize it. I recovered 70%, and did trauma work, slowed down, (no choice), and enjoyed people for the play, not for work, I did not push myself so much and did more things that I truly enjoy. But then I got sick again because of the shutdown, a part time job I loved lost, activities that kept me healthy were gone, and could get my trauma therapy.
So this is what confuses me. Our body holds on to the grief, and traumas, etcetera unless we do so many exercises, inner work, etcetera, to get rid of it. Many of us don't hold on to it cognitively, just like I didn't.
With this experience and learning about the nervous system, I think there must be something else to this.
My grandmother on my dad's side lived to be 1 month shy of 106. Not 1 of her 6 uncles, aunts, dad, mom, etc) lived anywhere close to that age.
Chemicals in Foods now, our push push hectic lifestyle,has a lot to do with it, and lack of community in the last 30-50 years.
@@tammyrobinson1613 Excellent observation. So true. Thank you for pointing it out. So we can still be victims of trauma, in spite of our best efforts.! The body has a ,mind, of its own, it seems. !😊
This lady might just be the most mentally fit human being on the planet its incredible and inspiring.Her family is blessed and thanks for sharing her wisdom with us.Lot of young people needed this im one of them ❤
She's amazing 🥰
In Ghana (West Africa), where I live for the past 25 years so many centenarians. The grandad of my son-in-law lived for 112 years. There are so many " human germs" in Africa, that also motivated me to start my african RUclips channel .
Advice: Always be aware of GOD whom we have to be returned.
"Find what you love and love it to pieces!"
WOW! WOW! And WOW!🌷
Wonderful 🌷
Have a friend who is 103. Laughter/humor is healing & soothing.
So darn simple, and beautiful.
A lot of what she says reflects exactly what I learned towards my late 20s. I felt trapped in society and took 2 years off of work to just travel, meet new people, work on myself, read many books, built a community wherever I went, etc. Over time, I learned a lot of what she’s saying right now and I’m completely elated to know I’m on the right path.
I’ve always instinctively knew this was the right thing to do, but having someone who lived up to 103 say the same things is a very strong reinforcement for my faith.
Just had this conversation with my older sister. I told her how I intend to teach me kids that they could travel learn about different cultures and that there is absolutely no rush to settle down
And may I ask what do you do for a living? Just out of curiosity, I have been thinking a lot recently about my professional life and I don't feel well any more with brainless, corporate jobs...😢
I am 71. What has surprised me is how much easier it is to enjoy life in older age. Often things that caused me sorrow or anxiety no longer upset me, and I have also made tough decisions. I finally came to grips with the reality that some people in my life are bad for me, treating me as a lesser being or treating my dreams with contempt (narcissistic or borderline personality disorder) and distanced myself from them. These are relatives I loved who used me as a psychological punching bag when their lives disappointed them. I stripped much of the complexity from my life to make it richer (less is more). Being a naturally solitary person, I do not interact much with my community, but I do recognize that it has systems that help me enjoy my life.
Even in my unhappiest times, I have loved learning. That helped me return to the light.
Great insights.
I love this interview. At 103 years old, that woman is sharp and possesses the wisdom gained through maturity. Her '5 L's' lessons in life are truly impactful.
this lady is the ICONIC physician, Dr. Gladys McGarey
Explain pls... for those of us who hv never heard of her, this would be very interesting...
She’s wonderful, and her words are true. I am 74 and living my best life.🌵💙🐣🌷
How wonderful is it that she was born in India because her parents were missionaries travelling and working across Indian villages and the lesson she keeps saying her mother taught her is actually a Hindi phrase "kuch parwah nahi" which means it doesnt matter as rightly translated by her.
"Find what you love, and love it to pieces." That is amazing advice!
“Listening with love is understanding” ❤️
Damn….she is more lucid and conscious than 99.9% of the asses living today
True. I'm scared I won't be that fully aware whenever I get old. I would rather not be around if I'm not self aware honestly.
Lol
lol
Fr! ❤
I sat and talked to my wife’s grandfather a couple of years ago before he passed at almost 100. I asked him about his experiences in WWII and he was telling me stories in great detail of bombing missions over Germany in B24s like it was yesterday - It was crazy!
Wow. She is beautiful! Inside and out.
Some people work the job they love, other people work the job they have to work.
Work till 70 ,75. Be responsible , dont quit,..for your brain health...whatever you do do it wifh passion
"The moment of my life,
is this one," she is right 🎉
Have a long & happy life,
beautiful, wise young lady!
Right!!
So much better than a younger person with a message. This human has wisdom of over a century under her belt.
I believe she has always been a beautiful being full of light and age has not changed that. Never truer words than if you reach for life life reaches back to you.
She should run for president.
Or be an advisor to them.
Wow amazing person and she is smarter then Harris
Bless this woman!
The 5 L's are truly awesome and how this woman connected them or intertwined them is just purely amazing.
Life is the choices you make, like the internet you can get loss on the superficiality of social media or you can appreciate channels like this one, full of positivity and knowledge.
Life, Laughter, Labor, Listening, and doing it all with Love! Thank you for that reminder Dr. Gladys McGarey. ❤❤❤
Love for God and the entire universe will love you! Wholeheartedly.
This video is going into my "watch later" and "favorites" so i can come back to it over and over...the wisdom she explains is exactly what I need to hear...Thank you!
I love that you spoke with someone who has so much wisdom, which often comes with age and sometimes painful experiences. Doing something you love, and having a community, are both so very important.
Listening without love is empty. Wow.
This is beautiful. You know who else I'd really like to hear from are people that have been broke for most of their lives. I've heard a lot from folks who are seemingly affluent - not all, of course. But, I would love to hear their perspectives. I think that would be important.
Those stories are so hard for us to tell. It’s a double edged sword. You can’t tell the good news of it without telling the pain. Overcoming dysfunction and poverty is rarely ever done, and it has left me with the perspective that any difficulties I face I have already overcome so much worse. It leaves you knowing, you shouldn’t even be alive, so anything you have is gravy anything you loose job house, anyone you loose by break up or other, I’m too busy being grateful for the time I had it with them to be sad about loosing it. I want to be a loving person regardless that has always been and continues to be the goal. I cherish life no one is promised tomorrow and I try to be in every conversation as if it could be mine or the other person’s last and I don’t want to be responsible for that person having a bad experience. I learned compassion. It’s grueling hard work and I find peace in knowing the rest of my life it’s self is healing because it’s another day of compassion and gratitude. Thank you so much for seeing us.
Same here. I would like to hear from those who didn’t have a lot but made it theough
They don't live as long. Being rich brings along less stress, being more physically active, more hobbies, better food. It's been well documented
@@priskruger314 Yes and the ones that are out there, it’s very painful to revisit. Along with it all, you feel guilty for the ones you left behind. You couldn’t save. When you have reached that point of peace you just want to stay right there. Also for us who have been at the very bottom of society we can relate to most once we are self made, but not many can relate to us. We have had nearly every human experience but most have only known what they have always known. At least this is the feeling we struggle with.
and this proves affluent people are just as ordinary as any. The human experience applies to all!
she’s just so clearly spoken & eloquent. A voice that demands you listen in a sense
I can’t imagine being that sharp and agile at that age. Incredible
I couldn't love this more. Thank you 🙏
Can we have a job we don't love but puts food on our family's table and find our happiness outside of work? That is my hope.
Having stayed in a job I hated and regret, you might want to decide what you’d really love to do and take baby steps in that direction till you can make a change. That’s my recommendation.
How about choosing to love the job you have while looking for something better? Loving or hating something is sometimes a choice. If you can't love it, you can at least be grateful for it.
Fulfillment in training/enjoying your children, helping them become the best they can be, hobbies, friendships, pets, nature, good literature, your relationship with Christ-- much to make life exciting & fulfilling aside from our work hours. Even night time dreams can be enjoyable & satisfying.
Do what you enjoy. Apply this to all aspects of your life. Be flexible and embrace life. Do not be brittle and embrace death.
Loving your job is number one!! Then and only then you'll love your entire life....we were brainwashed to believe the opposite
Find what you love and love it to pieces. ❤
I have read her book and keep it in my library. “The Well Lived Life” highly recommend.
God bless this woman...She is approximately the same age as my Grandmother. My grandmother was a tough woman from a tough generation, Who always had good wisdom to impart. I really miss her,
Find what you love and love it to pieces and she is so right, what a beautiful woman and you have the same ingrediënts for such a great life. Because you are now investigating and asking all sorts of people, young and old,the questions that really are the essence of life. Thank you for this ❤ Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
What a gorgeous, empathic goddess! Bless you Dr. McGarey.
Iam very thankful for this video
She's amazing..her words are meaningful... I love how she explained the 5 Ls.. true inspiration
She speaks well. God bless her with many more years
Great inspiration!
And I like the personal style and fashion sense of this beautiful being! 🌸
She's showing anyone who listens how to love to survive. Oh my. What a beautiful goddess!
Thank you for sharing your insight and lessons learned! You are wise.
Hi Doc! I feel so blessed to have had you as a doctor!…Your concepts on Tai Chi and letting things go changed my way of thinking about Life! I Love You!💖More blessed years to you!💖
Thank you. What an amazing human being. ❤
Wonderful woman, great to hear her talk like that!♥️ All we can do is try, and sometimes the light is lost for a while, just try finding it again, that's all we can do....
So much wisdom here, thank you for sharing. I want to remember to be on Gladys level every minute, every day. ❤😍
Thank you, thank you for doing these interviews. They are wonderful, and I always walk away with a lesson learned.
Gladys, thank you for teaching me the most!
I'm 66 and my passion is to help and be there for elderly with needs, even if it means companionship.
Love you and always be kind!❤
I love listening to this generation. A lot can be learned from them.
The five L’s. I love that. And she is so right about doing what you love for a living. Game changer
True life experience. I love to learn from a such kind of truth. She is amaizing!
Respect to hear…❤❤She is a blessing
I watch these videos but this one in particular made me subscribe. Thank you for sharing her wisdom with us.
I came across this video today and have watched this 4 times. Thanks, Sprouht. Big thanks to Dr. Gladys. Your messages created so much impact, a wake up call, I would say. I will keep these in my heart. May God continue to bless you.
Almost everything Gladys said is a Biblical principle. One can never go wrong living by Biblical principles.
Agreed! I was so hoping he would ask her about God
@doggonecrazyoveru
Me, too. Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh. May the name of Jesus be the top subject of my lips daily.
I hope that she will live forever as the same for every creature, amen 🥰🌸
Thank you for interviewing Gladys, can't wait to watch her TED talk!
How do I watch herbTed talk
@@janeking4059 Google her name and it will come up
The light and love of empathy & compassion is within our hearts mediation and being aware is the key to healing & finding out our true nature which this amazing lady is pointing to ! 💗
This lady is one of my heroes!!! 🎉❤❤❤
She makes it sound so easy. It sounds like she’s telling someone with depression to “just get over it.” In reality, for the majority of us, it’s not easy to get out of our way. It starts with desire to change. When she talks about her divorce and her way forward, it was because she finally decided to move forward to a better place/mindset.
My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to pay off our mortgage early. We were both still working, and took the payment amount that we had been using to pay off our mortgage faster and we put it straight into investments. We were able to retire early because of almost 7 years of putting away what would have been our mortgage payment as well as maxing out our 401K/403B plans. Thankfully we were taught by both of our parents the value of living within our means. Thank you for your advice. I know it will help people. we are interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?
Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
Even with the right strategies and appropriate assets, investment returns can differ among investors. Recognizing the vital role of experience in investment success is crucial. Personally, I understood this significance and sought guidance from a market analyst, significantly growing my account to nearly a million. Strategically withdrawing profits just before the market correction, I'm now seizing buying opportunities once again.
How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.
Leicia Zavala Perkins is the licensed advisor I use.Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment
She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran an online search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful testimony of life, what a beautiful way of thinking. Thank you both for teaching us, that You can live happily and how to do it. Thank you so much. 😻
Also she is not in a nursing home. That is a plus. However depression is real and i know what it feels like when there is no relief. god bless this lady. Sorry, I just needed to vent.
I felt so good to see her happy from my heart.
What an inspiration she is truly amazing and wise I love her she's giving me so much encouragement and faith I could only hope to behalf of the woman she is what a blessing it was to listen to her
Live in the present ,achieve your goals, be kind.
Beautiful ! Thank you ❤
These videos bring me back to reality when sometimes everything feels important. These are the real life priorities! Thanks
Great job asking such beautiful questions Sprouht ! :)
Wow she saw a lot of changes in the world being born in the 1920s.
Every life is unique and not comparable. Follow what feels right for you and not what others tell you.
Love this interview with this very smart lady! Sound advice and a great attitude towards life.
4:40 5 L’s-Life and Love, Laughter, Labor, Listening
7:20 Find what you love and love it to pieces
The main thing is LOVE,❤ SERVICE to humanity, living together in a community, eating less and good healthy, exercising and doing pranayam, meditation, and YOG. Thank you. Best wishes. ❤
Shes amazing!! Bless her heart, everyone should go and get her book. I just started recently reading it. Lots of wisdom written by her and solid advice on how to live a Happy,joyous life ❤
My heart just pouring out happy tears listening to this.
Haha find what you love andd love it to pieces ❤
She's sharper then most people I know that half her age. Smoking, drinking and worrying. All killers.
I do agree about the background music. It surely is a distraction. The conversation in itself is a melody, pure and sweet.
Just made my day, my week, my month, thank you from my heart. ~
WOW what a powerful advice. I loved it, everything she set it’s so true. Beautiful video.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for making this happen and sharing this wisdom. What a gem. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
Children and young adults have it harder because now most homes both parents are working. So no one to be there to raise and support them mentally. Also women having to do both roles and often alone. More women dying because of it. It's more costly to live and almost impossible for this young generation to buy a home. And this is why most are opting out of having children
Absolutely magnificent. Thank you for sharing! Knowledge is written ... wisdom is experience :)
Thank you for sharing the wisdom ❤
A real strong woman!
I totally agree. I have no problem working 100 hours a week because I love what I do and I’ve never really been worried about whether I got paid or not. I just need enough money to get Byond. I’m happy. I guess I’m easy.
I love the spirit of Glady's ❤ , at 65 I am really pretty happy with my efforts to "LET GO " !!
I love my fella , I have my "heart dog" my heart horse whom I ride most days...
I practice gratitude ...
Wonderful with amazing clarity. Admire Her 🧠
She is a very bright and lovely thinker.
This is GOLDEN ❤Thank you
This interview has truly inspired me. Thank you Sprouht!
