I turned 74 recently. Something I live by is not feeling guilty about taking it easy. In fact if I feel like doing nothing, I do nothing until I want to do something.
That’s such a great mindset! 🎉 There’s real wisdom in allowing yourself to take it easy and not feel guilty about it. Sometimes, doing nothing is exactly what we need to recharge and enjoy life at our own pace. Here's to embracing that freedom! 😊🌿
😂 that's me too. I waste more time doing nothing and I enjoy it. Just watching TV or an occasional video game or a little walk. I have no desire to "fit in". Do I get lonely at times? Sure but it passes.

@@stevemurphy2295 You and me both. I know the feeling well. Then, go do something. This time, however, you can do whatever you bloody well want to do, not what you have to do.
Absolutely! 🌟 No matter the age, maintaining good health is the foundation for living a fulfilling life. Prioritizing both physical and mental well-being is key to staying strong and vibrant at any stage. 💪💙
@@maxlinder5262 NO, you need money if you have squandered your good health or were in the unlucky 10%. If you are healthy then you have no need of medical care or its costs.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful and uplifting message! Your words are full of hope and kindness. Wishing blessings and positivity to you and everyone who reads this. 😍🙏🌟
I was diagnosed with bladder cancer in February of this year along with cancer of liver and lung. This will also humble you and very much change your perspective on life and priorties. At 73. I way up every day and thank God for another day.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I truly admire your strength and gratitude in the face of such challenges. It's clear that this experience has brought deep reflection and perspective, and I wish you continued courage and grace each day. You are in my thoughts. 🙏🌟
Jesus still heals today! Receive it today! Faith brother! Do communion every day and believe!!❤ He said you would do the same things He did, only greater things! John 14:12 The Word is the best medicine!
Maybe I’m the lucky exception here. My wife and I retired in our late 50s, and now I’m 82 and she’s 80. It’s been a wonderful ride, fortunate to not have worries about finances, etc.. I’m now a hospice caregiver for her, but we can think back not only about the years we raised our children, worked hard to save for retirement, and then enjoyed an incredible time where we traveled, volunteered, bought an old boat and shared adventures there. We recently celebrated 55 years of marriage, and now as I prepare for her inevitable loss, I can reflect back on lives we both feel were well lived. Thanks to so many who have posted replies. My wife of 55 years passed peacefully last month, and I have been gratified by the wishes and condolences all of her friends have given. It’s hard to think that after all this time there was so much about her that I was only a little aware of.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt and profound reflection. 🌟 It sounds like you and your wife have shared an incredible journey together, filled with love, adventure, and deep connection. Celebrating 55 years of marriage and looking back on a life well-lived is something truly special. Your role now as her caregiver shows immense strength and devotion. Wishing you peace and continued strength as you cherish the memories you've created together. 💖
I'm 74 alone now and dwell in the woods in a tent. Every third day I drive the 40 km into a rural town for fresh supplies and water. I'm responsible for my own wellbeing and each morning when I wake up to the sun I feel I'm in heaven. I have arrived at this place after all the mandatory years of struggle and stress, love and joy, ambitions and desire, successes and failings, hope and dispair to arrive finaly at this blessed sanctury. Peace❤ 9:29
your words paint a beautiful picture of peace and contentment after a lifetime of experiences. It sounds like you’ve truly found your sanctuary in nature, embracing simplicity and the joy of being present in the moment. Your journey to this place of serenity is inspiring. Wishing you continued peace and happiness in your haven. 🌄❤
I’m so thankful for this video. I’m 72 years old. My wife passed away in February and I find myself so alone and I needed to clarify my position in life. May God bless all of you that are my age and older as you find peace and happiness. I’m still struggling with the loss of my wife. I find myself crying less, but I’m still crying. I miss everything about her and knowing this video has helped me to clarify and help me to push forward and that I am normal to thank you and if you’re still married, please love each other. Serve each other and take care of each other. I took care of my wife with helping my children for almost a year, and she taught me how to serve
Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt message. I’m deeply sorry for your loss, and it’s clear how much love and care you shared with your wife. It's completely natural to grieve and feel the weight of that absence, even as time passes. I'm glad this video has helped bring some clarity and comfort as you navigate through such a difficult time. May God bless you with continued strength and peace as you move forward. And your advice to love, serve, and care for each other is a powerful reminder for all of us. Take care. 🙏💖
Being 75 no wife I can't comment..tried several times no cigar..if u hav ur health life is good if u don't,well..sumtimes I feel go to GLACIER NATIONAL PARK cover myself in chicken fat ..calling come bear come bear or Mesa Verde stay in a kiva eating peyote..or waste away watching TV news now sports..mr.bojangles dance..
I have discontinued my relationship to my older sister. She is a narcissist who has criticized me my whole life. I no longer speak to her or visit her. It is such a relief not to have to hear her negative comments any more. I am 78 years old and I did this about 3 years ago.
I have an older and a younger sister, both narcissists. They cut me out of their lives, for whatever reasons, and I am much happier not having to listen to them any more. Be happy and know you did the right thing. Best of luck.
@elizabethborson1739 It sounds like a tough but empowering decision you made to prioritize your own well-being. Cutting ties with someone who brings negativity, especially when it’s been a lifelong pattern, can bring immense relief. I’m glad to hear you’ve found peace and freedom from the criticism. Wishing you continued strength and positivity in your life! 🌟
I am 73 and moved to the Philippines and cut ties with everyone in my family because they were also like you stated only trying to bring me down to their level and they always criticized me all my life even though I was the eldest. Now I am free of all the crap and very happy.
Absolutely! 🙌 Being alive and well after 70 is truly a remarkable blessing. Every day is a gift to cherish, filled with opportunities to embrace life, love, and the wisdom gained over the years. Wishing you continued health, happiness, and many more joyful moments ahead! 🌟💖🙏
Cutting ties with toxic relationships and learning to say NO are the two most important lessons I finally learned at around forty that have served me well to this day at seventy.
Thank you for sharing that valuable insight! Learning to set boundaries and protect your peace is such an important lesson, and it's great to hear how it’s benefited you for so many years. 🌿
I learned that lesson just recently, it was a hard lesson for me because it was my son that was keeping me in an emotional prison. Now that I have made it clear I will not tolerate the drama, life is sweet again. I am finally free at 73.
What a beautiful perspective! 🙏 Being 86 is indeed a gift, and your gratitude and hope are truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your faith and joy with us-it's a powerful reminder to cherish every moment and look forward with a grateful heart. 🌟 Blessings to you!
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful message. It’s truly inspiring to hear that you’re living your best life at 70 and have found contentment and peace within yourself. Feeling safe and loved in the presence of your Creator is such a profound blessing. Wishing you continued joy, fulfillment, and the warmth of that divine friendship. 🌼✨🙏
At 77, and I will throw in my 2 cents. Eating healthy and moderate exercise is crucial for mind and body. Social interactions with only people who respect you. Set boundaries. Learn new things that are fun. For me, that's learning to play the piano. Get or continue hobbies, and for me, it's woodworking and gardening. Set goals to achieve for your future self. I don't expect to live to 90 ... but I'm going to be active and happy until the end. Cheets to all ;-)
Thank you for sharing your valuable insight! Your approach to life at 77 is truly inspiring-staying active, setting boundaries, and learning new things like playing the piano. Woodworking, gardening, and focusing on positive social interactions are wonderful ways to enrich both the mind and body. Here’s to staying active and happy every step of the way! Cheers to you! 🎶🌿💪
Thank you so much for sharing your story! It’s truly inspiring to hear about your journey and how you’re thriving at 84. Every day is indeed a precious gift, and your strength is a beautiful testament to that. Wishing you continued health and happiness! 🙏🌟
No it isn’t. If you’re alive at 70 you’ve taken pretty good care of yourself. No phony “God” had anything to do with it. Give yourself some credit for crying out loud. Gawd I hate religion!!!!!! It sucks the life out of people’s brains.
I am 73 and working 74 soon. This reading is so powerful as it seems to describe me , my life, and so many aspects that are highlighted. I feel I've been chasing a dream of custom cars, to think I can still ride my Harley. The competitiveness and rivalry between sibling and on and on. I'm so tired. I've been contemplating selling everything related to this car hobby. Physically demand, money illspend I suppose? Don't know if the end satisfaction is worth it anymore. I question if there's enough time in my life to invest in this expensive hobby or do I give it all up. It's created deteriated relationship amongst sibling as well.
Thank you for sharing that! 🌟 It's inspiring to hear how you're living life for yourself and finding joy in it. Wishing you continued happiness and fulfillment! 😊
I love the company of my own thoughts. I always have. And I love to be alone. Even when you are alone you are never really alone. Never. I lead by my own example. Oh yes, and I love myself
That's such a beautiful mindset! 🌿 Being at peace with your own thoughts and finding comfort in solitude is a rare and powerful strength. Leading by example and embracing self-love is an inspiring way to live. 🙌 Keep enjoying that inner company!
You're absolutely right! There's such beauty in embracing the peace and tranquility that comes with doing nothing. It's a wonderful way to cultivate positivity and fully enjoy the moment. 🌿😊
That's a beautiful perspective! While youth often comes with physical beauty, the wisdom gained over the years is invaluable. This wisdom allows for deeper understanding, richer experiences, and a more profound appreciation of life. It's a trade-off that brings its own kind of beauty and fulfillment. Thank you for sharing this insightful thought! 🌟
I Walked away from two friends that brought so much negativity to my life. One was constantly cursing, ranting and raving about the things in her life. She wasn’t interested in feedback from me, in fact, she didn’t want my opinion. She just wanted me to listen to what she was ranting about until she was finished. She was critical of everyone and everything thing. After 20 plus years, I finally completely cut her out of my life. I NEVER looked back.
That must have been a difficult decision, but it sounds like you made the right choice for your well-being. 🌱 Letting go of negative relationships, especially after so many years, takes courage, but it's so important for protecting your peace and happiness. It’s empowering to recognize when someone is no longer contributing positively to your life and to take steps to prioritize your own mental and emotional health. I hope you're feeling lighter and more at peace without that weight on your shoulders. 💪✨ Never looking back is a sign of strength-here’s to brighter days ahead! 🌻
Age is just a number..I am almost 74 years old and I practice self reliance everyday..not being a burden to anybody..I prepare my meals,do my laundry,clean my house and shop for food..
Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring story! 🌟 It’s amazing to hear how you continue to practice self-reliance at almost 74. Your strength and independence are truly motivating! 🙌 Keep shining and showing us what it means to live fully at any age! 😊
@@anthonystroman8407 Thank you for sharing your perspective! You're absolutely right-age brings its own challenges, and it's not just about the number. We aim to highlight the wisdom and strength that come with age, but also understand the realities like physical pain. Your feedback is so important to us! 🙏😊
@@anthonystroman8407at 68 I do not have any near the pain in my joints etc that I had at 50 . Life style changers start with getting orlff carbs , sugar , . It makes a major difference believe me . Hope you stay feeling better !!!! Peace
I am 74 and my 3 grandchildren 6, 4, and 2 are the absolute joy of my life. Recently, our 2 eldest spent 2 weeks with us - along with their parents. I am typically the first one awake and downstairs reading. My 6 year old granddaughter awakens next, brings her blanket and snuggles with me on the couch. Nothing can top this experience! I will then read to her until her little brother joins us. I have no bucket list and plan to love these 3 and teach them some important truths. My relationship with God has given me complete peace and contentment. I trust God totally and plan to serve by loving and serving others as long as I am able.
What a heartwarming and beautiful experience you’ve shared! The joy and love you find in your grandchildren are truly precious, and those quiet moments with them will be memories they cherish forever. Your peace, contentment, and trust in God shine through your words, and your dedication to loving and serving others is inspiring. Wishing you many more joyful moments with your grandchildren and continued peace on your journey! 😊🙏💖
@@deborahvenatta5034 But what about Baal, and Ra, and Mohammed, and Buddah, Krishna and Zoroaster ? And to mention Jehovah, and Jesu. All inventions of mankind; for some sanity, go read 'The God Delusion' by Dawkins and 'God is Not Great' by Hitchens , that will set you up ! But charity is good!
I was never loved and exist unloved, unknown and alone. I still have hope that " Suddenly.," however much it appears Never. Still, NOW can be good. I am owned by my stuff. Continually trying to declutter. I spent life acquiring things arranging and rearranging things. Beautifying, organizing, cleaning. It is a compulsión. There's comfort being in a goodlooking cleaning tidy iron.ent, but it is bondage. And, in the end, a waste of my life. I'll be 73 November 13. Too bad no do over.
I turn 70 this year and somehow I feel that life is moving in a more tranquil direction . I am finally at peace with myself after 50 years of nonstop facing challenges one after the other. After watching your UA-cam video, it inspires me to live a simpler life with love & compassion.
Thank you for your beautiful words! I'm so glad that the video resonated with you and inspired you to embrace a simpler life filled with love and compassion. It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve found peace after so many years of challenges. Wishing you continued tranquility and joy on this next chapter of your journey! 🌿💖
I turned 71 in August, I live alone, a disabled veteran of 33yrs and I spent my last overseas duty in Iraq in 2004. Meditation has become an essential part of my early morning and night ritual. My friend do thou likewise and you’ll soon discover the mystical Ora you carry that only a child can see! Do this! And get in tune with the infinite!
Thank you for sharing your journey and wisdom with us. It's inspiring to hear how meditation has become such a meaningful part of your life. Your words carry a powerful message about connecting with the deeper, mystical aspects of ourselves. Wishing you continued peace and strength on your journey. 🙏✨
Soon I'll be 75....have lived in various cultural settings....experienced the ups and downs of life....have been living with prostate cancer for over a decade....seen friends and loved ones exit this life....done a lot of personal soul-searching....feeling quite happy to exist until my time is up. I've come to see myself simply like a wave on the surface of the vast ocean....I co-exist with countless other waves of different shapes and sizes....we are essentially the expressions of the ONE ocean....we arise out of the ocean and we dissolve back into the ocean. The ocean is our Source of creation, we are forever one with our source of creation. So let us not get too carried away by our individuality.....we are all really the one ocean (GOD) expressing itself. They say meditation is done to help us get into a state of feeling we are all united with oneanother....not a separate being from every other being. In conclusion, let us not think too much and worry too much....everything is okay...just enjoy being alive, in unity with all creatures and the Source of Creation.
Wow, that's truly inspiring! Writing 5-6 books a year and playing tennis every day is amazing! Your positive attitude and passion for life are such a great example for everyone. Thank you for sharing your journey! 💖🎾📚
Lovely. In my 70s, I’ve never felt more content. I’m in good health, and financially reasonably secure. I live in a small apartment in a pretty place. I don’t really NEED anything, except for more friends in my new location. My kids are grown, and my aged mother finally passed. I have no more obligations to anyone. I joined two social groups when I first arrived here, but found the social gatherings kind of boring. So I go to yoga twice per week and plan to do a little sewing. The best part is that I can stay in bed in the morning. I read the news on my iPad and bring in the morning coffee. It’s fabulous just being lazy.
Thank you for sharing your lovely routine! 😊 It sounds like you've created a peaceful and fulfilling life in your 70s. Enjoying those quiet, lazy mornings and staying active with yoga and sewing sounds wonderful. Wishing you continued contentment and maybe a few new friends along the way! 🌸☕
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt and uplifting message! 🙏 Your words are a beautiful reminder of hope and kindness. Wishing blessings and positivity to you and everyone who reads this. 🌟✨
Over fifty-five years ago my aunt told me that many years later, I would look back and think how little importance I would attach to that moment. How right she was!
What a wise reflection from your aunt, and how true it is! It’s amazing how perspective changes over time and how things that once seemed significant can fade in importance. Thank you for sharing this valuable insight! 😊🌿
That sounds like a beautiful way to start the day! 🌄☕ There's something truly special about the quiet early hours, just you and a cup of coffee, savoring the peace and solitude. It’s a kind of wealth that goes beyond material things-a moment of tranquility and presence that enriches the soul. Enjoy those mornings to the fullest! 😊🌿
That’s incredible! Your dedication to weight lifting for over four decades is truly inspiring. Building muscle and bone strength really does pay off as we age, and you're living proof of that. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your story! 💪😊
Beyond 70 is ones eighth decade. I like having nice things and will continue to buy whatever makes me happy. At 70 I live alone in a big house with my dog. I still work and feel productive. I'm healthy and take no medications. I have a few close friends and like my solitude. There's no one way to live when you reach a certain age. Do what makes you happy.
Thank you for sharing your philosophy! It's so empowering to hear how you're embracing life on your terms and doing what makes you happy. Your independence, health, and appreciation for solitude are truly inspiring. Keep living the way that brings you joy! 🌟🐾
Yes, it’s the eighth decade. I’m 74 moderately healthy except for chronic pain. Gratitude is everything. Kindness is everything. Gratitude is everything. Aloha
That's a great decision! 🌟 Letting go of excess stuff can bring a sense of freedom and simplicity. It’s amazing how clearing out physical space can also make room for more peace and clarity in life. Wishing you the best on this decluttering journey-each step forward is a step toward more ease and contentment! 😊✨
I totally understand wanting to get rid of stuff. I am 77 and feel the same way. My mom when my age called her stuff " junk" I didn't understand that at the time but I do now.
@@bibsann861 It's amazing how perspectives change with time, isn't it? 😊 At 77, you gain such clarity on what truly matters, and letting go of "stuff" feels so freeing. I completely understand where you're coming from now, just like your mom did. It’s all part of simplifying and focusing on the things that bring real joy. 🌿✨
@@austinstratman1809 Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 😊 You're absolutely right-it can be quite a challenge to declutter with everything going on these days. We appreciate your insight and for being part of the conversation! 🙏✨
I'm 58, In my 40s, I stopped feeling obligated to go to family weddings and birthdays. They didn't contact me outside of those invitations, so I've moved on. When I did attend, I felt lonely in their company and now regret that I put myself through that.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like you’ve found peace by prioritizing your own well-being and distancing yourself from situations that didn’t bring you fulfillment. Sometimes, stepping away from relationships that don't nourish us is necessary for our growth and happiness. It’s never too late to focus on what truly matters to you. Wishing you continued peace and self-empowerment! 💙🌿
I gave up all those things to. I also dont celebrate any holiday at all, but only do what I want. I laugh on Christmas holidays watching people back in and out of their driveways making fools of themselves wasting all that time and money when they dont have to. Dates of this and that and this holiday and all that, I dont care. Anytime Im awake I think about what I want to eat or do as far as things I have at my house and go for short drives in my classic cars, but just go for a slow short drive and U turn and come back home
I'm 69, lost my beautiful partner 7 years ago to cancer. She used to love Christmas and made such a big deal out of the house decor. But now, I live on my own and no one comes to see me. Gradually over the years I've been putting out less and less decorations until the last couple of Christmases I've stop decorating at all. I don't miss it, it' just another holiday to me
@@RobbeyT1 Hey Robbey. I know how that great sadness can happen and be. I think of it as a barrier (based on my experience) in where a person goes through the withdrawal of no one comes around and the regular get togethers stops and things drop off gradually. But once you pass that barrier you start seeing other better things such as privacy and being able to make any decision and not having to compromise and if youre retired like me there is no schedule. I now see what I thought I had to have in the past as NOISE now. I think of Christmas as more of a cult than anything, and dont take me wrong Im a strong believer in Jesus Christ, but i feel the holiday became a cult for alcoholics and materialistic people
I am 77 and I am still tasked to help out other family members and friends ❤ I have a closet full of clothes that I haven't worn in years thinking that one day I might find the time to wear them! #2
At 77, it’s wonderful that you're still there for family and friends-such a testament to your caring heart! ❤ And as for that closet full of clothes, it’s something many can relate to! Sometimes we hold onto things thinking the time will come, but maybe it’s a sign to create space for new moments. Whether you decide to declutter or rediscover some old favorites, the choice is yours. Wishing you all the best as you continue balancing your giving spirit and personal journey! 😊👚✨
Thank God I am an American where I have had time and opportunity to actually do something like this. I don’t have to spend days in fields or cobalt mines. I pray I give enough thanks for this life. Pray for future generations
What a powerful reflection! 🙏 It's truly a blessing to have the opportunities and freedoms to pursue meaningful endeavors, especially when so many around the world face challenging circumstances. Your gratitude and prayers for future generations are inspiring. May we all remember to give thanks and hope for a brighter future for those who follow. 🇺🇸✨
Thank you for your wisdom. I was born an introvert. When I was a kid my father bragged to relatives: “She’s quiet as a mouse. Not a peep out of her. You’d never even know she’s here.” Which was just the way he expected girls and women to be. So I guess we both lucked out. It isn’t that I don’t like people, I just like being alone to do my own stuff instead of having to spend hours listening to people doing THEIR own stuff. I probably have about five years left to do any stuff at all. My parent’s died in their early 80’s. I have several modest hobbies and my two cats and my son (also an introvert) who is a big help to me when I need it and we have similar interests, like history, art, literature, movies and a modicum of science. We also know when to give each other space. And speaking of space, little by little I have been divesting myself of things that I used to revere. Much of it came from my parents and late aunts who were un-cluttering their own lives. My hearing is going and I’m sorry to not be able to hear birds and peepers at the creek without cupping my hands behind my ears like an elephant, but at least it encourages people to not take up more of my time by repeating things I was likely not interested in the first time. So that’s my life. I never knew how peaceful it could be until Covid caused world wide isolation. I hope you all enjoy your seventies as much as I am enjoying mine.😊 .
Thank you for sharing such a personal and beautifully reflective story. 🌟 It sounds like you've embraced your introverted nature with grace, finding peace in your hobbies, relationships, and the simplicity of life. It's inspiring how you've found a balance with your son, enjoying both shared interests and respecting the need for space. Your journey of decluttering and accepting the changes in life, like hearing loss, shows incredible wisdom. I’m glad you’ve discovered peace in your seventies, and I hope your remaining years are filled with continued serenity and joy. 😊
Your message is a beautiful testament to finding peace, balance, and fulfillment in a way that aligns perfectly with who you are. It’s inspiring how you’ve embraced your introversion and built a life of quiet joy, meaningful connections, and cherished hobbies. Your relationship with your son sounds deeply enriching, a wonderful blend of shared interests and mutual respect for each other’s space. Letting go of material things and focusing on what truly matters is such a wise approach, and it’s heartening to hear how much contentment you’ve found. Even the way you’ve turned challenges like hearing loss into opportunities for more solitude and introspection is remarkable. May the years ahead continue to be as peaceful and rewarding as they are now. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful perspective-it’s truly uplifting. 😊🌟
As 70 approaches I think of all those family and friends who departed this beautiful world. We are mere mortals having a human experience. I believe God is watching over us all the time and knows our past, present and future. Never forget, this life is this moment's consciousnesses.
What a profound reflection. It's a beautiful reminder to cherish each moment and trust in God's guidance as we navigate through life. Thank you for sharing such thoughtful wisdom. 🙏✨
That's such a powerful and true sentiment! In the end, it's all about living authentically and finding joy for yourself. Thank you for sharing that wisdom! 🌿
I am 72 and live in scotland. The nhs have been good to me but the goverment is trying to hurry our old people into an early grave , once we have fought their wars and created their wealth. These are scary times in the uk, be grateful your in the usa., good luck and health.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It sounds like you're going through a challenging time in the UK, and I completely understand your concerns. I'm glad the NHS has been good to you, but it's heartbreaking to hear how you feel about the current situation. Wishing you strength, good health, and brighter days ahead. 🙏 Take care!
Quite frankly, we must elect Donald Trump to keep our country from ruining our lives, through excessive government control, which is the direction it is now headed. It appears this may happen on election day November 5th.
It's wonderful to hear that you feel grateful and are able to enjoy life at 72. Your appreciation for love, grace, and mercy is truly inspiring. Gratitude can bring so much positivity and fulfillment to our lives. Thank you for sharing your uplifting perspective! ❤️
Upon 70 years or so I drove away from all I knew & settled in a different country. Such blessing to be by the sea every day, watching the waves, observing waxing & waning moon in a deep black sky. Upon reflection I've realized I've had a good & interesting life, something I hadn't appreciated while all the hustle & bustle in it. Peace, joy, compassion for all.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful reflection. It’s inspiring to hear how you’ve embraced this new chapter by the sea, finding peace and appreciating the journey you’ve had. Wishing you continued joy and tranquility in your peaceful surroundings! 🌊🌕✨
Thank you for sharing that insight! Learning to say no can be incredibly empowering, and it’s wonderful that you’ve found it rewarding. Wishing you continued strength and fulfillment as you embrace this important skill. 🌟😊
Amen to that! 🙏♥️ May we all continue to find peace, joy, and wisdom as we journey through life after 70. Thank you for your kind words, and may blessings be with you always! 😊✨
So thankful to come across this video and so timely as well! I am 73 yo & these last two weeks I am proactive getting ready for my passing. I am death cleaning, giving back stuff given to me, labeling significant item & who/where they came from, donating stuff. If only I knew then what I know now, no possession is worth having, they only gather dust, attract moths & is distracting. I have learned to value who I am and it does not bother me what other people think of me. I quit coloring my hair & feel so liberated. I figured who am I trying to impress!😁 I became a grandmother late in life & I’m just trying to enjoy my grandkids before I too old to have fun with them. It’s motherhood and being a grandmother that I’ve enjoyed most and will continue to do Silver Sneakers to be strong and healthy!
Your reflections on preparing for this next chapter of life are both insightful and empowering. It’s so meaningful that you’re using this time to declutter not just physically but emotionally, letting go of unnecessary attachments. Your perspective on valuing who you are and not being concerned with others' opinions is inspiring-there's such freedom in embracing your true self, especially with the joy of spending time with your grandchildren. Staying strong and healthy through Silver Sneakers shows your continued commitment to living fully. Thank you for sharing this beautiful and timely journey. 😊
Your perspective is both inspiring and heartwarming! It’s clear that you’ve embraced a season of reflection, gratitude, and purposeful living. Preparing for the future by letting go of unnecessary possessions and focusing on what truly matters is such a wise and freeing approach. It’s beautiful how you’ve shifted your energy to enjoy your grandkids, valuing time and connection over material things. Quitting the hair coloring and fully embracing your authentic self is a powerful statement of self-acceptance-it truly sounds liberating! Your focus on staying healthy and strong through activities like Silver Sneakers is fantastic, not just for you but for all those lucky enough to share in your joyful presence. Keep shining and loving life; your journey is an inspiration to many. 😊💖
What a beautiful sentiment! 🙏 It truly is a privilege to walk through life with a deep connection to your Creator, knowing that the best is yet to come. That hope and faith bring such peace and strength. Thank you for sharing this inspiring thought! 🌟🙏✨
I'm a 76 year old male, married for 30 years. Have lived happily alone for the last 5 years. I've found that letting go, living simply with nature brings profound joy. Yoga, exercise and plant based diet has been hugely valuable. As an elder I've found that embracing self love, cultivating healthy relationships and stying socially active is incredibly important. This video rings true. Thank you for sharing this message.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It sounds like you’ve found a beautiful balance-living simply, embracing nature, and practicing self-love. Yoga, exercise, and a plant-based diet are powerful ways to nurture both body and soul. Your words are filled with wisdom, and I’m so glad that the message of the video resonated with you. Wishing you continued joy, health, and fulfillment on your journey. 🌿✨🙏
Absolutely! Embracing moments of doing nothing can bring such peace and tranquility, especially at this stage in life. It's a beautiful way to find calm and enjoy the present. 🌿😊
It's not necessary to wait until 70 to follow these guidelines for a wonderful life which make lots of sense. Thank you very much. Warmest regards from Ana in Mexico City!❤
Thank you so much, Ana, for your kind words and for tuning in all the way from Mexico City! 😊 You're absolutely right-it's never too early to start living by these principles. Wishing you all the best on your journey to a wonderful life! Warm regards and sending you lots of love! ❤️✨
That's fantastic! Donating items can be such a rewarding experience, both for yourself and for those who benefit from them. It’s wonderful that you're continuing to declutter and share what you have. Keep up the great work-it’s truly inspiring! 😊🌟
It's heartwarming to hear how your faith continues to bring you gratitude and fulfillment each day. Your appreciation for your salvation in Jesus is a beautiful testament to the strength and comfort that faith can provide. Thank you for sharing this meaningful aspect of your life! May your journey continue to be filled with love and peace. ❤️
At 70 if I wish to keep my appearance pleasantly groomed and made up that is my choice and no one will tell me how to live,I embrace looking your best for my self
Absolutely! 💖 At 70, how you choose to present yourself is entirely your choice, and embracing looking your best for yourself is empowering. It’s all about feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin. You’re living on your terms, and that’s truly inspiring! 🌟 Keep shining and doing what makes you feel great! 💄💙
At 82 I am grateful to God for letting me live this long. I have regrets in my life but I also have peace in my life. I have arthritis which limits my movement but my mind is still strong and I can still enjoy family and my hobbies. I do not care what people think of me I just care that God keeps me in his hands.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful perspective. Your gratitude, resilience, and faith are truly inspiring. It’s wonderful that, despite physical limitations, you still find joy in family and hobbies, and your strength of mind shines brightly. Wishing you continued peace and blessings. 🙏💖✨
I turned 70 on April 16 of this year. After living in Dallas, Texas, for 67 years, I moved to Querétaro, México, close to three years ago. A week ago I became a permanent resident of Mexico. Next year I can apply for my Mexican citizenship. It feels great to be 70. This video is very enlightening, and I will work at putting into practice the suggestions. Recently I read this: "Relaxation means releasing all concern and tension and letting the natural order of life flow through one's being." Just reading those words helps me to unwind. :-) Sending a big hug from down Mexico way.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! It sounds like you've embraced this new chapter of your life with a wonderful sense of adventure and positivity. Congratulations on your permanent residency-what an exciting milestone! That quote about relaxation is truly beautiful, and I love how it resonates with your mindset. Sending you a big hug back, and wishing you continued peace and joy in Querétaro. 😊🌟🇲🇽
@@gohajourney Thank-you so much for your kind reply. The images in your video are lovely .. and the words are uplifting. The quote about relaxation "speaks" to me because at times I worry and fret over "stupid" stuff that I ought not to. I taught first grade for 27 years and am a kid at heart. :-) ... that aspect of my persona keeps me happy most of the time, I'm glad to say. 🙂
When I turned 45 I gave up alcohol. I slowly but surely learned 1 thing at a time all of these things. Each year things became more important to me that never meant anything to me. Toxic relationships were the hardest to adjust to. For some reason it came automatically but felt strange. I couldn't explain it to myself each time it happened over the years. The one thing I did know is these people brought no value to my life. They also did not value me which is the part that hurt and I never wanted to face it. One thing is for sure. You are only in charge of yourself. Don't waste any time on wanting to change another's behaviors. They too can only change themselves. Keep one thing in mind. Don't be scared that those people won't be there for you. They never were going to be. Live your best life. Realize by age what you will be able to do and don't wait to do it.
Thank you for sharing your powerful journey and wisdom. It's inspiring how you've embraced positive change and learned to prioritize what truly matters in life. Your message about focusing on yourself and letting go of toxic relationships is so valuable. We can't control others, but we can live our best life on our terms. Your strength in recognizing that is truly admirable! 💪🌟
I started doing this in my 60’s. Now 71. I divested myself of all the entanglements. My husband and I put our energies into our grandchildren, doing all their childcare until they were in school full time. I have few friends. I spend lots of time alone doing things I like. I have hobbies, and find new ones. I concentrate on what I want. The junk is gone!
It sounds like you've found a beautiful balance in your life, focusing on what truly matters and enjoying your hobbies and solitude. 🌸 It’s inspiring how you and your husband poured your energy into your grandchildren and now focus on your own passions. Simplicity truly brings peace, and it's wonderful that you've cleared away the clutter. Thank you for sharing your journey! 🙌😊
Why is it sort of expected that parents need to take care of their grand-kids? At one point earlier in history, their children were taking care of their parents!
@@Buttercup251 We asked for them. I loved every minute. Even the hard ones. It was the last time I would have little ones in my life. We still take them for overnights and school days off, and in the summer between camp weeks. I will miss it when they outgrow us.
This video beautifully captures the wisdom of shedding unnecessary burdens after 70. Embracing simplicity and focusing on what truly matters feels so liberating-it's a reminder to prioritize inner peace over external validation. Thank you for sharing this uplifting perspective!
Thank you for your thoughtful reflection! It's amazing how liberating it can be to focus on simplicity and what truly matters in life. Prioritizing inner peace over external validation is a powerful shift that can bring so much joy and fulfillment. Have you experienced any changes or insights from embracing this mindset? Your experiences could offer valuable inspiration to others on this journey! 🌿✨
I made some choices years ago about letting go of toxic relationships and even though I sometimes miss those individuals I'm still glad I did for their good and mine. I'm 74 and I stay active by choice because I want to see my grandkids, kids and my wife for as long as I can
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and wisdom with us! 🌟 It's inspiring to hear how you've prioritized your well-being and family. We're grateful for your thoughtful comment and wish you many more joyful moments with your loved ones. 😊
What a refreshing take on aging! Letting go of societal expectations and embracing authenticity is such a freeing concept. It’s inspiring to see how these lessons can lead to a more meaningful, joyful life at any age.
Absolutely! Embracing authenticity and shedding societal expectations can truly transform our experience of aging. It's empowering to live life on our own terms and find joy in being true to ourselves. Have you found any particular practices or mindsets that help you embrace this freedom? Sharing your journey could inspire others to do the same! 🌟
Love this. I'm 78. I lost my wife to dementia almost 2 years ears ago and then lost most of my financial resources earlier this year. While the loss of my wife still brings sadness, finding new relationships helps relieve the sadness. And on the financial side, I first felt devastated. Now I've discovered that what I have is enough. And I feel better almost every day as I discover my new world. Thanks for this video
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt story. 😊 I'm truly sorry for your loss, and it's inspiring to hear how you're finding strength and new beginnings in your journey. Your resilience and positive outlook are truly admirable. I'm glad the video could offer some support. Wishing you continued peace and happiness as you navigate your new world.
I’m 80 and feel good to tell others that I am fit to do everything my self. Keep busy but miss my friends, most have gone couple of them still just alive. I am Muslim and pray to the creator of universe and making things to benefit less fortunate as I will not be able to take any things except good deeds.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts. 🌟 It's inspiring to hear that you remain fit and active, and your commitment to helping others is truly admirable. Your faith and dedication to doing good deeds are a beautiful example for all of us. May the Creator continue to bless you with strength and peace. 🙏💫 Stay well, and thank you for being part of this journey with us! ❤️
Wow, what an incredible journey! 🎉 Congratulations on being a 31-year cancer survivor, and it's so inspiring to hear that you're living your best life, debt-free, and filled with gratitude each day. Turning 73 next month is another wonderful milestone to celebrate! Thank you for sharing your story-wishing you continued health, happiness, and many more beautiful days ahead. 🙏✨🎂
I'm turning 77. Thank God for modern medicine! I feel good even though i'm on several meds each day. My wife passed over 10 years ago. She's still with me. Our kids are middle aged! Wow! I've lived longer than any other male in my family as far back as my great, great grandfather. I thought getting old would take longer! I'm waiting for my wife to come and take me with her. I'm certain she will. I'm fine.
Thank you so much for sharing your incredible story. It's inspiring to hear how you've embraced life and continued to find strength through your journey. Modern medicine truly is a blessing, and it's beautiful that you carry your wife with you in spirit. Wishing you many more peaceful and fulfilling moments ahead. 🙏🌿
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! 😊 I'm so glad the video resonated with you. Focusing on your health is such a powerful and wise priority, especially at 73. 🙌💖 Wishing you continued strength and peace on your journey!

The worse reality we face can be more or less the way family or siblings lose respect for you not living up to their expectations. Respect is a one way street for them. Sometimes sheer jealousy of your relationship, marriage, home, personal success, wealth or happiness. I’ve seen it with others and I also lived it. My dad’s sage advice was simple: See problems, walk away. Don’t hate, just leave them be. You won’t change their minds or their hatred. Life is much too short to suffer fools. What we did as a child out of respect need not be totally carried on for life. Blood is not always thicker than water.
I am about to turn 74 and still on a journey of happiness, peace and health. The need to let go is so important is so many ways of our life. Listening and reflecting more important than ever. Loving and caring for yourself and others.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful perspective. It's wonderful to hear that, at 74, you're still on a journey filled with happiness, peace, and health. Letting go, listening, and reflecting are indeed powerful practices, and it’s inspiring to see how you embrace love and care for yourself and those around you. Wishing you continued joy and fulfillment on your journey! 💖✨🌿
That's a powerful truth! When health is compromised, it becomes the single focus, but when we have our health, the possibilities seem limitless. It's a reminder to appreciate and take care of our well-being while we can, so we can continue to pursue everything else that life offers. Health really is the foundation for everything. 🌿💪
I am 80 years young & still serving as a missionary having served in over 30 countries in the past 5 decades. I am now living in a wonderful situation with 7 other missionaries so my worldwide travels are over with my next journey being my final destination, Heaven with Jesus! I am presently very active as a hospice volunteer & I'm lovin' it!
Your story is truly inspiring! At 80 years young, your dedication to serving others and your vibrant spirit shine through. Having served in over 30 countries is an incredible achievement, and it's wonderful to hear that you're continuing to make a difference as a hospice volunteer. Your commitment to helping others and your positive outlook on life are admirable. Thank you for sharing your journey and for the impact you've made in so many lives. Wishing you continued joy and fulfillment in all that you do! 🌍✨
65.. clean and sober 34 years. I've been working on myself for many of these years. I knew all of this already. I've been living the most wonderful life. Listening to this enforced what I have been doing. Thank you
Thank you for sharing your incredible journey! 🌟 Congratulations on 34 years of being clean and sober-that’s such a powerful achievement. It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve been living a fulfilling life, and I’m glad the content reinforced your path. Wishing you continued happiness and strength on this journey! 😊
Am coming on to age 73 within about a week. Live alone with my three dogs. They're the loves of my life. They're spoiled, I'm proud and happy to say. I don't miss regular human interaction, even one little bit, though I do still have a few people that put a genuine smile on my face when I see them. I like myself and my own company in what I like to think is a fair and healthy way, even with my (too) many flaws? I hope my dogs kinda like me too. We'll get on, they and I, in what remaining time together Fate chooses to give us. "Animals Forever!"
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection! It’s beautiful that you’ve found joy and companionship with your dogs and that you appreciate your own company in such a balanced way. I'm sure your dogs adore you just as much as you do them! Wishing you a happy 73rd birthday and many more wonderful moments with your furry friends. 🐾❤️ "Animals Forever!"
Almost 70 now, I'm realizing that I don't get such a kick from playing music professionally anymore. A life dedicated to performing 🎶 is coming to an end. It's ok. It's been a wildly successful run, and I'm thankful for the experiences and music loving fans. Letting go and saying no thank you to future gigs feels right.
Thank you for sharing this deeply reflective moment. It sounds like you’ve had an incredible journey in music, and it's beautiful that you're at peace with this transition. Sometimes, the best way to honor a chapter of our lives is to let it close gracefully. Wishing you fulfillment in whatever comes next-you deserve it after all those amazing performances. 🎶✨
Absolutely correct, though at the age of 73 now I still wish I'd got the strength to do it all again, music is such a powerful medicine and possibly one of the best medicines there ever was, at 73 I can no longer lift those old marshalls too well but still playing, I am so grateful that my entire life has been blessed with the never ending emotions of being a guitarist, ....... I don't want to let go but I know that I have to.
That's a beautiful practice! 🙏 Each new day is a blessing, and starting it with gratitude makes all the difference. Thank you for sharing that with us, and may your days continue to be filled with peace and thankfulness. 🌅💛
I totally get that! 😅 Decluttering can feel overwhelming, but taking it one step at a time makes it more manageable. Just think of how refreshing it’ll feel once it’s done! 💪 You’ve got this!
That’s such a powerful truth! When we accumulate too much, our possessions can begin to control us, weighing us down instead of bringing joy. Simplicity brings freedom and peace. 🌿✨
This video resonates deeply! The idea of shedding the weight of others' opinions after 70 is so liberating. It’s something many people, even younger generations, could benefit from embracing sooner. Thank you for sharing such an important message!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I'm glad the message resonated with you. It’s truly freeing to let go of others' opinions, and you're absolutely right-embracing this mindset earlier in life can be empowering. Appreciate your support! 😊🙌
Giving is great joy, grandchildren and great grandchildren are joy proverbs 17:6 is joy to me. I agree that negativity in ones life need not be there Wether from yourself or others. The Lord has blessed me with the age of 75 years and in these years I’ve fairly well marched to the drummers playing in my head. Not seeking approval from others nor much caring what others thought of me. My wife and I been married for 56 years and fairly well been happy throughout out life we both became Christian about mid way through our journey and things really changed for us. Believing in God and that he’s sovereign changes one outlook and prospective on life. I hay farm and help my grandson row crop farm and take joy in this. Most people we know don’t understand this, but again I still listen to the drummers in my head. We have two granddaughters who are both very young in life and they are blessings to us. We have two great grandchildren a girl and little boy we don’t get to see them much. But they are still loved by us. I take great joy in walking out side in the very early morning hours of the day and looking into the heavens and knowing that the Lord is there and he’s sending his son to get his church and I’m thinking soon.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful reflection. Your joy in giving, family, and faith is truly inspiring. 🌟 Proverbs 17:6 speaks volumes about the blessings of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and it's clear your life has been filled with love and purpose. At 75, your approach to living authentically, marching to your own drummer, and finding strength in your faith is a wonderful testament to the power of belief and staying true to yourself. Your connection to nature and the peace you find in the early mornings is a reminder of the beauty in simplicity. Wishing you continued blessings and joy as you walk this journey. 💙🙏
Thank you! 😊 Simplifying life after 70 truly does make sense-it’s a time to focus on what really matters and let go of unnecessary stress or clutter. It’s about finding joy in the little things, embracing peace, and living with intention. What’s one way you’ve simplified your life that’s brought you the most happiness? 🌟💛
I am 76, I have learned more in the last 6 years than in the previous 70. My wife died last year, and I have even learned more about her by doing what she used to do without any fuss and bother. I have also looked deeply into human history and spirituality. I am ready to join my wife when my time comes.
As a 78 y old human I fully agree and started to do things described here to lead a fulfilling meaningfull life. Thanks to the creators, the video is beautiful!

Wow, I've been feeling weighed down by material possessions. This video encouraged me to finally let go of what I don't need. It feels like a fresh start! 🧡
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! I’m really happy to hear that the video inspired you to let go and start fresh. It’s amazing how freeing it can feel to release what we no longer need. Wishing you continued clarity and peace on this new chapter! 🧡✨

Such an insightful video! It’s fascinating how perspectives and priorities shift as we age. This really made me reflect on the things we take for granted in younger years. Great job, Goha Journey!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌟 It’s amazing how life’s priorities evolve with time, isn’t it? What’s one thing you’ve come to appreciate more as you’ve grown older? I’d love to hear your reflections!

@@trafficjon400 Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I understand that views on the afterlife vary greatly from person to person. It's a deeply personal belief, and I appreciate you engaging in the conversation. Wishing you peace and fulfillment in the here and now. 🙏
i just turned 71,i remember the panic i felt when i turned 60 (my bench mark then for old was 6o) i think and am reminded my death is imminent,i pray that i will accept my departure from this world, remembering Gods grace and mercy, and will be comforted and not experiance the aloness i felt throughout most of my life god will provide
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection. It’s understandable to feel those emotions as we reach different milestones in life. Your faith in God's grace and mercy will guide and comfort you. You are not alone, and may peace and strength be with you as you continue this journey. God will indeed provide. 🙏✨
interesting thoughts from this video. I am 76 and the last 3 years have seen cancer, surgery and heart attack. It does change your perspective each day when you know that tomorrow is not guaranteed. My wife has been my rock, supporting me without question.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE SIR, as you said: "It does change your perspective each day when you know that tomorrow is not guaranteed.". God bless you and your family.
I am 73. According to myself, Every day above ground is a holiday. Every meal is a banquet. Yesterday was a memory. And tomorrow is just a rumor. I find myself doing projects that I like to do and as I do them I use the things I've had for years such as tools materials I've had laying around and I build & make things mostly in the garage and as I go along I come across things I never used and out to the trash they go. So I'm basically getting rid and cleaning out at the same time. I know it's time to do this . After listening to this video it makes me feel pretty good knowing I'm on the right track. I have my ailments and I get frustrated that I can't do what I used to do. I will say that getting old is not for Sissy's. I thank God everyday for my very existence. There are other things that between my wife & I and the 50 years we've been married we have to be careful on decisions we make. We've had great pets all our married life and raised and loved them but when my last two dogs died ,we missed having them so we rescued two dogs that are 3 years old and we never rescued a dog before . Now I'm 73 and these two dogs broke our hearts when we saw how depressed and sad they were behind cages in a shelter that we took them home. The worry is will the dogs out live us. Will they be hurt and abandoned again?If they live 14 years or so , how old will I be makes me think that maybe I should have called it quits after my last two passed away. Then my kids told us they will never be abandoned and they would take them both along with the few dogs they have. We feel better now but my point is be careful people and don't make decisions for long terms.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection! It’s wonderful to hear how you’re making the most of every day, working on projects you love, and finding joy in the small things. Your story about rescuing the dogs touched my heart-what a beautiful act of kindness. It’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into your decisions, and it’s comforting to know your kids will take care of your furry companions. Wishing you many more fulfilling days ahead, and may you continue to be on the right track! 🙏🐾✨
At 62 I was told I had a metastasizing prostate cancer. Although raised a Catholic by my mother and grandmother, I rarely made time to go to church until my children were born and had not been to confession since 8th grade. I was not worried about dying as much as who would take care of my daughter who suffered from physical then mental issues. I did not feel worthy to pray to Jesus as being a hypocrite. I heard on a religious radio station that Mother Mary would always help those who came to her in such situations. Having nothing to lose I tried praying to her to intervene for me. I am now 70 after surgery and 40 radiation treatments. I am helping my daughter. I pray to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and Thank them every day. I also say the Rosary everyday. During the Rosary I give a confession to God for daily and past sins. Number 2 !!!
Thank you for sharing your deeply personal journey. It's moving to hear about the strength you've found through faith and your devotion to caring for your daughter. It takes such courage to face challenges like this, and your resilience is inspiring. I'm so glad that prayer and the Rosary have brought you comfort, peace, and purpose. Wishing you continued strength, health, and blessings as you walk this path. 🙏✨💖
Thank you for your suggestions. Just turned 70 this year. I’m still working as a chiropractor and energetic healer in 5 countries. It’s still a labor of love and I’m grateful for the role I’ve played in helping others. Playing my guitars, working with my photography and writing books are my hobbies. I look toward my changing roles, passing on the abilities and knowledge to my students. I’m 11 years sober and grateful for the clarity and presence that the 12 steps give me.
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story! It’s amazing to hear that at 70, you’re still doing work that you love and making a meaningful impact across multiple countries. Your dedication to helping others, combined with your creative pursuits in music, photography, and writing, is truly admirable. Congratulations on 11 years of sobriety-that’s an incredible achievement, and I’m glad you’ve found clarity and presence through the 12 steps. Wishing you continued success and fulfillment in all that you do! 🎸📸📚🙏✨
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful reflection with us. 🙏 It's truly inspiring to hear how you cherish each day as a gift and find peace in silence. Your gratitude and wisdom shine through, and we're grateful for your insight. Wishing you continued peace and blessings. 💙✨
I am 82 years old. Three years ago I started playing the ukulele. I accept my ukulele limitations and love my progress. I pick old blues songs. What makes me different is that I lived in San Francisco in the late 1960s. It opened my mind to enjoy life through it's ups and downs. Keep on trucking. #2.
That's amazing! At 82, picking up the ukulele and embracing your journey with it, especially playing old blues songs, is such a wonderful way to keep life vibrant. Living in San Francisco during the late 1960s must have been an incredible experience, and it’s clear that the lessons from that time have stayed with you, shaping your outlook on life. Keep on trucking and enjoying every moment, ups and downs included! 🎶✨🚛
Thanks!

I turned 74 recently. Something I live by is not feeling guilty about taking it easy. In fact if I feel like doing nothing, I do nothing until I want to do something.
That’s such a great mindset! 🎉 There’s real wisdom in allowing yourself to take it easy and not feel guilty about it. Sometimes, doing nothing is exactly what we need to recharge and enjoy life at our own pace. Here's to embracing that freedom! 😊🌿
Thank you for writing this... You don't know how much you've helped me. I am 72 .No more guilt feelings!!!❤
Do nothing except concentrate on deep breathing.
I feel like that most of the time
😂 that's me too. I waste more time doing nothing and I enjoy it. Just watching TV or an occasional video game or a little walk. I have no desire to "fit in". Do I get lonely at times? Sure but it passes.
Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world

No matter what age being healthy is the most important
Absolutely! 🌟 No matter the age, maintaining good health is the foundation for living a fulfilling life. Prioritizing both physical and mental well-being is key to staying strong and vibrant at any stage. 💪💙
But except for the unlucky 10%, health is a choice well into our 80's. We choose to smoke, over-eat, and under-exercise.
Especially mental heath.
You NEED... MONEY ..to Have Good Health...... WHY wait until you are Old to be yourself .. just my opinion 😊
@@maxlinder5262 NO, you need money if you have squandered your good health or were in the unlucky 10%. If you are healthy then you have no need of medical care or its costs.

Maybe I’m the lucky exception here. My wife and I retired in our late 50s, and now I’m 82 and she’s 80. It’s been a wonderful ride, fortunate to not have worries about finances, etc.. I’m now a hospice caregiver for her, but we can think back not only about the years we raised our children, worked hard to save for retirement, and then enjoyed an incredible time where we traveled, volunteered, bought an old boat and shared adventures there. We recently celebrated 55 years of marriage, and now as I prepare for her inevitable loss, I can reflect back on lives we both feel were well lived.
Thanks to so many who have posted replies. My wife of 55 years passed peacefully last month, and I have been gratified by the wishes and condolences all of her friends have given. It’s hard to think that after all this time there was so much about her that I was only a little aware of.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt and profound reflection. 🌟 It sounds like you and your wife have shared an incredible journey together, filled with love, adventure, and deep connection. Celebrating 55 years of marriage and looking back on a life well-lived is something truly special. Your role now as her caregiver shows immense strength and devotion. Wishing you peace and continued strength as you cherish the memories you've created together. 💖

Yes, you're one of the lucky one, you were lucky to have her and vis versa. Good luck and big hug....

I'm 74 alone now and dwell in the woods in a tent. Every third day I drive the 40 km into a rural town for fresh supplies and water.
I'm responsible for my own wellbeing and each morning when I wake up to the sun I feel I'm in heaven.
I have arrived at this place after all the mandatory years of struggle and stress, love and joy, ambitions and desire, successes and failings, hope and dispair to arrive finaly at this blessed sanctury.

I’m so thankful for this video. I’m 72 years old. My wife passed away in February and I find myself so alone and I needed to clarify my position in life. May God bless all of you that are my age and older as you find peace and happiness. I’m still struggling with the loss of my wife. I find myself crying less, but I’m still crying. I miss everything about her and knowing this video has helped me to clarify and help me to push forward and that I am normal to thank you and if you’re still married, please love each other. Serve each other and take care of each other. I took care of my wife with helping my children for almost a year, and she taught me how to serve
👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt message. I’m deeply sorry for your loss, and it’s clear how much love and care you shared with your wife. It's completely natural to grieve and feel the weight of that absence, even as time passes. I'm glad this video has helped bring some clarity and comfort as you navigate through such a difficult time. May God bless you with continued strength and peace as you move forward. And your advice to love, serve, and care for each other is a powerful reminder for all of us. Take care. 🙏💖
Your wife was blessed to have you, sir. Your grief and longing are testament to the wonderful life you had together. God Bless you!

I have discontinued my relationship to my older sister. She is a narcissist who has criticized me my whole life. I no longer speak to her or visit her. It is such a relief not to have to hear her negative comments any more. I am 78 years old and I did this about 3 years ago.
I have an older and a younger sister, both narcissists. They cut me out of their lives, for whatever reasons, and I am much happier not having to listen to them any more. Be happy and know you did the right thing. Best of luck.
@@patriciapryke6577 Thank you! I have found out no one wants to visit me. 🤣🤣🤣 My sister in law is also a narcissist!
@elizabethborson1739 It sounds like a tough but empowering decision you made to prioritize your own well-being. Cutting ties with someone who brings negativity, especially when it’s been a lifelong pattern, can bring immense relief. I’m glad to hear you’ve found peace and freedom from the criticism. Wishing you continued strength and positivity in your life! 🌟
DNA is way overrated.
I am 73 and moved to the Philippines and cut ties with everyone in my family because they were also like you stated only trying to bring me down to their level and they always criticized me all my life even though I was the eldest. Now I am free of all the crap and very happy.

Cutting ties with toxic relationships and learning to say NO are the two most important lessons I finally learned at around forty that have served me well to this day at seventy.
Thank you for sharing that valuable insight! Learning to set boundaries and protect your peace is such an important lesson, and it's great to hear how it’s benefited you for so many years. 🌿
I learned that lesson just recently, it was a hard lesson for me because it was my son that was keeping me in an emotional prison. Now that I have made it clear I will not tolerate the drama, life is sweet again. I am finally free at 73.
You are better off having no relationships than being in a relationship with a person who thinks they own you.

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful message. It’s truly inspiring to hear that you’re living your best life at 70 and have found contentment and peace within yourself. Feeling safe and loved in the presence of your Creator is such a profound blessing. Wishing you continued joy, fulfillment, and the warmth of that divine friendship. 🌼✨🙏
Whatever makes you believe there is a creator?
At 77, and I will throw in my 2 cents. Eating healthy and moderate exercise is crucial for mind and body. Social interactions with only people who respect you. Set boundaries. Learn new things that are fun. For me, that's learning to play the piano. Get or continue hobbies, and for me, it's woodworking and gardening. Set goals to achieve for your future self. I don't expect to live to 90 ... but I'm going to be active and happy until the end. Cheets to all ;-)
Thank you for sharing your valuable insight! Your approach to life at 77 is truly inspiring-staying active, setting boundaries, and learning new things like playing the piano. Woodworking, gardening, and focusing on positive social interactions are wonderful ways to enrich both the mind and body. Here’s to staying active and happy every step of the way! Cheers to you! 🎶🌿💪
Very good for you. Your attitude is admirable. Wish you all the best. Wish you good health

No it isn’t. If you’re alive at 70 you’ve taken pretty good care of yourself. No phony “God” had anything to do with it. Give yourself some credit for crying out loud. Gawd I hate religion!!!!!! It sucks the life out of people’s brains.
I agree with you. Nice to hear you are doing well. Blessings to you.
what about all the people who never made it to adulthood? where did that "gift" come from dumbass
I am 73 and working 74 soon. This reading is so powerful as it seems to describe me , my life, and so many aspects that are highlighted.
I feel I've been chasing a dream of custom cars, to think I can still ride my Harley. The competitiveness and rivalry between sibling and on and on. I'm so tired. I've been contemplating selling everything related to this car hobby. Physically demand, money illspend I suppose?
Don't know if the end satisfaction is worth it anymore. I question if there's enough time in my life to invest in this expensive hobby or do I give it all up. It's created deteriated relationship amongst sibling as well.
Much joy and rich blessings to anyone who reads this message. ❤

That's such a beautiful mindset! 🌿 Being at peace with your own thoughts and finding comfort in solitude is a rare and powerful strength. Leading by example and embracing self-love is an inspiring way to live. 🙌 Keep enjoying that inner company!
Glad to hear that there are normal people like you that feel the way I do at this advanced age~!!!
It’s OK to do absolutely nothing and enjoy doing nothing at this stage in life. It’s peace, tranquility & positivity!
You're absolutely right! There's such beauty in embracing the peace and tranquility that comes with doing nothing. It's a wonderful way to cultivate positivity and fully enjoy the moment. 🌿😊

When young you have beauty…then you trade the beauty for wisdom. Good trade off.
That's a beautiful perspective! While youth often comes with physical beauty, the wisdom gained over the years is invaluable. This wisdom allows for deeper understanding, richer experiences, and a more profound appreciation of life. It's a trade-off that brings its own kind of beauty and fulfillment. Thank you for sharing this insightful thought! 🌟
@@jobridges4006 Unfortunately, not all of the old people have wisdom.
I Walked away from two friends that brought so much negativity to my life. One was constantly cursing, ranting and raving about the things in her life. She wasn’t interested in feedback from me, in fact, she didn’t want my opinion. She just wanted me to listen to what she was ranting about until she was finished. She was critical of everyone and everything thing. After 20 plus years, I finally completely cut her out of my life. I NEVER looked back.
That must have been a difficult decision, but it sounds like you made the right choice for your well-being. 🌱 Letting go of negative relationships, especially after so many years, takes courage, but it's so important for protecting your peace and happiness. It’s empowering to recognize when someone is no longer contributing positively to your life and to take steps to prioritize your own mental and emotional health. I hope you're feeling lighter and more at peace without that weight on your shoulders. 💪✨ Never looking back is a sign of strength-here’s to brighter days ahead! 🌻

I am 74 and my 3 grandchildren 6, 4, and 2 are the absolute joy of my life. Recently, our 2 eldest spent 2 weeks with us - along with their parents. I am typically the first one awake and downstairs reading. My 6 year old granddaughter awakens next, brings her blanket and snuggles with me on the couch. Nothing can top this experience! I will then read to her until her little brother joins us. I have no bucket list and plan to love these 3 and teach them some important truths.
My relationship with God has given me complete peace and contentment. I trust God totally and plan to serve by loving and serving others as long as I am able.
AMEN Always Jesus 👑 Christ 🙌
What a heartwarming and beautiful experience you’ve shared! The joy and love you find in your grandchildren are truly precious, and those quiet moments with them will be memories they cherish forever.

Soon I'll be 75....have lived in various cultural settings....experienced the ups and downs of life....have been living with prostate cancer for over a decade....seen friends and loved ones exit this life....done a lot of personal soul-searching....feeling quite happy to exist until my time is up. I've come to see myself simply like a wave on the surface of the vast ocean....I co-exist with countless other waves of different shapes and sizes....we are essentially the expressions of the ONE ocean....we arise out of the ocean and we dissolve back into the ocean. The ocean is our Source of creation, we are forever one with our source of creation.
So let us not get too carried away by our individuality.....we are all really the one ocean (GOD) expressing itself. They say meditation is done to help us get into a state of feeling we are all united with oneanother....not a separate being from every other being.
In conclusion, let us not think too much and worry too much....everything is okay...just enjoy being alive, in unity with all creatures and the Source of Creation.
At age 71 I live to create...I write 5-6 books a year ❤ Play tennis everyday, and live with an attitude of gratitude.

Well, isn’t that special!
Lovely. In my 70s, I’ve never felt more content. I’m in good health, and financially reasonably secure. I live in a small apartment in a pretty place. I don’t really NEED anything, except for more friends in my new location. My kids are grown, and my aged mother finally passed. I have no more obligations to anyone.
I joined two social groups when I first arrived here, but found the social gatherings kind of boring. So I go to yoga twice per week and plan to do a little sewing. The best part is that I can stay in bed in the morning. I read the news on my iPad and bring in the morning coffee. It’s fabulous just being lazy.
Thank you for sharing your lovely routine! 😊 It sounds like you've created a peaceful and fulfilling life in your 70s. Enjoying those quiet, lazy mornings and staying active with yoga and sewing sounds wonderful. Wishing you continued contentment and maybe a few new friends along the way! 🌸☕
And no guilt about being lazy!
My routine exactly! Sometimes staying in my pjs till noon! Not guilty either

I know the feeling.
I gave up all those things to. I also dont celebrate any holiday at all, but only do what I want. I laugh on Christmas holidays watching people back in and out of their driveways making fools of themselves wasting all that time and money when they dont have to. Dates of this and that and this holiday and all that, I dont care. Anytime Im awake I think about what I want to eat or do as far as things I have at my house and go for short drives in my classic cars, but just go for a slow short drive and U turn and come back home
I'm 69, lost my beautiful partner 7 years ago to cancer. She used to love Christmas and made such a big deal out of the house decor. But now, I live on my own and no one comes to see me. Gradually over the years I've been putting out less and less decorations until the last couple of Christmases I've stop decorating at all. I don't miss it, it' just another holiday to me
@@RobbeyT1 Hey Robbey. I know how that great sadness can happen and be. I think of it as a barrier (based on my experience) in where a person goes through the withdrawal of no one comes around and the regular get togethers stops and things drop off gradually. But once you pass that barrier you start seeing other better things such as privacy and being able to make any decision and not having to compromise and if youre retired like me there is no schedule. I now see what I thought I had to have in the past as NOISE now. I think of Christmas as more of a cult than anything, and dont take me wrong Im a strong believer in Jesus Christ, but i feel the holiday became a cult for alcoholics and materialistic people

Whether you decide to declutter or rediscover some old favorites, the choice is yours. Wishing you all the best as you continue balancing your giving spirit and personal journey! 😊👚✨

Thank you for your wisdom. I was born an introvert. When I was a kid my father bragged to relatives: “She’s quiet as a mouse. Not a peep out of her. You’d never even know she’s here.” Which was just the way he expected girls and women to be. So I guess we both lucked out. It isn’t that I don’t like people, I just like being alone to do my own stuff instead of having to spend hours listening to people doing THEIR own stuff. I probably have about five years left to do any stuff at all. My parent’s died in their early 80’s. I have several modest hobbies and my two cats and my son (also an introvert) who is a big help to me when I need it and we have similar interests, like history, art, literature, movies and a modicum of science. We also know when to give each other space. And speaking of space, little by little I have been divesting myself of things that I used to revere. Much of it came from my parents and late aunts who were un-cluttering their own lives. My hearing is going and I’m sorry to not be able to hear birds and peepers at the creek without cupping my hands behind my ears like an elephant, but at least it encourages people to not take up more of my time by repeating things I was likely not interested in the first time. So that’s my life. I never knew how peaceful it could be until Covid caused world wide isolation. I hope you all enjoy your seventies as much as I am enjoying mine.😊

Thank you for sharing such a personal and beautifully reflective story. 🌟 It sounds like you've embraced your introverted nature with grace, finding peace in your hobbies, relationships, and the simplicity of life. It's inspiring how you've found a balance with your son, enjoying both shared interests and respecting the need for space. Your journey of decluttering and accepting the changes in life, like hearing loss, shows incredible wisdom. I’m glad you’ve discovered peace in your seventies, and I hope your remaining years are filled with continued serenity and joy. 😊

Your message is a beautiful testament to finding peace, balance, and fulfillment in a way that aligns perfectly with who you are. It’s inspiring how you’ve embraced your introversion and built a life of quiet joy, meaningful connections, and cherished hobbies. Your relationship with your son sounds deeply enriching, a wonderful blend of shared interests and mutual respect for each other’s space.
Letting go of material things and focusing on what truly matters is such a wise approach, and it’s heartening to hear how much contentment you’ve found. Even the way you’ve turned challenges like hearing loss into opportunities for more solitude and introspection is remarkable. May the years ahead continue to be as peaceful and rewarding as they are now. Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful perspective-it’s truly uplifting. 😊🌟
As 70 approaches I think of all those family and friends who departed this beautiful world. We are mere mortals having a human experience. I believe God is watching over us all the time and knows our past, present and future. Never forget, this life is this moment's consciousnesses.

@@gohajourney That's great, I really wish I had health and life like yours 👌👌
So thankful to come across this video and so timely as well! I am 73 yo & these last two weeks I am proactive getting ready for my passing. I am death cleaning, giving back stuff given to me, labeling significant item & who/where they came from, donating stuff. If only I knew then what I know now, no possession is worth having, they only gather dust, attract moths & is distracting.
I have learned to value who I am and it does not bother me what other people think of me.
I quit coloring my hair & feel so liberated. I figured who am I trying to impress!😁
I became a grandmother late in life & I’m just trying to enjoy my grandkids before I too old to have fun with them.
It’s motherhood and being a grandmother that I’ve enjoyed most and will continue to do Silver Sneakers to be strong and healthy!
Your reflections on preparing for this next chapter of life are both insightful and empowering. It’s so meaningful that you’re using this time to declutter not just physically but emotionally, letting go of unnecessary attachments. Your perspective on valuing who you are and not being concerned with others' opinions is inspiring-there's such freedom in embracing your true self, especially with the joy of spending time with your grandchildren. Staying strong and healthy through Silver Sneakers shows your continued commitment to living fully. Thank you for sharing this beautiful and timely journey. 😊
Your perspective is both inspiring and heartwarming! It’s clear that you’ve embraced a season of reflection, gratitude, and purposeful living. Preparing for the future by letting go of unnecessary possessions and focusing on what truly matters is such a wise and freeing approach. It’s beautiful how you’ve shifted your energy to enjoy your grandkids, valuing time and connection over material things.
Quitting the hair coloring and fully embracing your authentic self is a powerful statement of self-acceptance-it truly sounds liberating! Your focus on staying healthy and strong through activities like Silver Sneakers is fantastic, not just for you but for all those lucky enough to share in your joyful presence. Keep shining and loving life; your journey is an inspiration to many. 😊💖
What a privilege to live with your Creator, and to know that the best is yet to be.
What a beautiful sentiment! 🙏 It truly is a privilege to walk through life with a deep connection to your Creator, knowing that the best is yet to come. That hope and faith bring such peace and strength. Thank you for sharing this inspiring thought! 🌟🙏✨
I'm a 76 year old male, married for 30 years. Have lived happily alone for the last 5 years. I've found that letting go, living simply with nature brings profound joy. Yoga, exercise and plant based diet has been hugely valuable. As an elder I've found that embracing self love, cultivating healthy relationships and stying socially active is incredibly important. This video rings true. Thank you for sharing this message.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It sounds like you’ve found a beautiful balance-living simply, embracing nature, and practicing self-love. Yoga, exercise, and a plant-based diet are powerful ways to nurture both body and soul. Your words are filled with wisdom, and I’m so glad that the message of the video resonated with you. Wishing you continued joy, health, and fulfillment on your journey. 🌿✨🙏
It’s OK to do absolutely nothing and enjoy doing nothing at this stage in life. It’s peace and tranquility.
Absolutely! Embracing moments of doing nothing can bring such peace and tranquility, especially at this stage in life. It's a beautiful way to find calm and enjoy the present. 🌿😊
It's not necessary to wait until 70 to follow these guidelines for a wonderful life which make lots of sense. Thank you very much. Warmest regards from Ana in Mexico City!❤
Thank you so much, Ana, for your kind words and for tuning in all the way from Mexico City! 😊 You're absolutely right-it's never too early to start living by these principles. Wishing you all the best on your journey to a wonderful life! Warm regards and sending you lots of love! ❤️✨
Exactly,this thought should come in the youthful years ,which would be useful to society and ourself ,after seventy helps self 😊
Thanks. I have donating clothes, shoes, handbags, and may other personal items. It feels great. I am still working on donating more.
That's fantastic! Donating items can be such a rewarding experience, both for yourself and for those who benefit from them. It’s wonderful that you're continuing to declutter and share what you have. Keep up the great work-it’s truly inspiring! 😊🌟
I'm 71 and thankful for my salvation in Jesus more every day!❤
It's heartwarming to hear how your faith continues to bring you gratitude and fulfillment each day. Your appreciation for your salvation in Jesus is a beautiful testament to the strength and comfort that faith can provide. Thank you for sharing this meaningful aspect of your life! May your journey continue to be filled with love and peace. ❤️
At 70 if I wish to keep my appearance pleasantly groomed and made up that is my choice and no one will tell me how to live,I embrace looking your best for my self
Absolutely! 💖 At 70, how you choose to present yourself is entirely your choice, and embracing looking your best for yourself is empowering. It’s all about feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin. You’re living on your terms, and that’s truly inspiring! 🌟 Keep shining and doing what makes you feel great! 💄💙
66 here and still wear Chanel. 💗💗
At 82 I am grateful to God for letting me live this long. I have regrets in my life but I also have peace in my life. I have arthritis which limits my movement but my mind is still strong and I can still enjoy family and my hobbies. I do not care what people think of me I just care that God keeps me in his hands.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful perspective. Your gratitude, resilience, and faith are truly inspiring. It’s wonderful that, despite physical limitations, you still find joy in family and hobbies, and your strength of mind shines brightly. Wishing you continued peace and blessings. 🙏💖✨
I turned 70 on April 16 of this year. After living in Dallas, Texas, for 67 years, I moved to Querétaro, México, close to three years ago. A week ago I became a permanent resident of Mexico. Next year I can apply for my Mexican citizenship. It feels great to be 70. This video is very enlightening, and I will work at putting into practice the suggestions. Recently I read this: "Relaxation means releasing all concern and tension and letting the natural order of life flow through one's being." Just reading those words helps me to unwind. :-) Sending a big hug from down Mexico way.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! It sounds like you've embraced this new chapter of your life with a wonderful sense of adventure and positivity. Congratulations on your permanent residency-what an exciting milestone! That quote about relaxation is truly beautiful, and I love how it resonates with your mindset. Sending you a big hug back, and wishing you continued peace and joy in Querétaro. 😊🌟🇲🇽
@@gohajourney Thank-you so much for your kind reply. The images in your video are lovely .. and the words are uplifting. The quote about relaxation "speaks" to me because at times I worry and fret over "stupid" stuff that I ought not to. I taught first grade for 27 years and am a kid at heart. :-) ... that aspect of my persona keeps me happy most of the time, I'm glad to say. 🙂
When I turned 45 I gave up alcohol. I slowly but surely learned 1 thing at a time all of these things. Each year things became more important to me that never meant anything to me.
Toxic relationships were the hardest to adjust to. For some reason it came automatically but felt strange. I couldn't explain it to myself each time it happened over the years. The one thing I did know is these people brought no value to my life. They also did not value me which is the part that hurt and I never wanted to face it.
One thing is for sure. You are only in charge of yourself. Don't waste any time on wanting to change another's behaviors. They too can only change themselves.
Keep one thing in mind. Don't be scared that those people won't be there for you. They never were going to be.
Live your best life. Realize by age what you will be able to do and don't wait to do it.
Thank you for sharing your powerful journey and wisdom. It's inspiring how you've embraced positive change and learned to prioritize what truly matters in life. Your message about focusing on yourself and letting go of toxic relationships is so valuable. We can't control others, but we can live our best life on our terms. Your strength in recognizing that is truly admirable! 💪🌟
I am 74 and agree with every suggestion and will gift this wisdom to others. Thank you for sharing with us all.❤
Toxic people do the most damage to a person's mental health... 💯 👍
I started doing this in my 60’s. Now 71. I divested myself of all the entanglements. My husband and I put our energies into our grandchildren, doing all their childcare until they were in school full time.
I have few friends. I spend lots of time alone doing things I like. I have hobbies, and find new ones. I concentrate on what I want. The junk is gone!
It sounds like you've found a beautiful balance in your life, focusing on what truly matters and enjoying your hobbies and solitude. 🌸 It’s inspiring how you and your husband poured your energy into your grandchildren and now focus on your own passions. Simplicity truly brings peace, and it's wonderful that you've cleared away the clutter. Thank you for sharing your journey! 🙌😊
Why is it sort of expected that parents need to take care of their grand-kids? At one point earlier in history, their children were taking care of their parents!
@@Buttercup251 We asked for them. I loved every minute. Even the hard ones. It was the last time I would have little ones in my life. We still take them for overnights and school days off, and in the summer between camp weeks. I will miss it when they outgrow us.
This video beautifully captures the wisdom of shedding unnecessary burdens after 70. Embracing simplicity and focusing on what truly matters feels so liberating-it's a reminder to prioritize inner peace over external validation. Thank you for sharing this uplifting perspective!
Thank you for your thoughtful reflection! It's amazing how liberating it can be to focus on simplicity and what truly matters in life. Prioritizing inner peace over external validation is a powerful shift that can bring so much joy and fulfillment. Have you experienced any changes or insights from embracing this mindset? Your experiences could offer valuable inspiration to others on this journey! 🌿✨
I made some choices years ago about letting go of toxic relationships and even though I sometimes miss those individuals I'm still glad I did for their good and mine. I'm 74 and I stay active by choice because I want to see my grandkids, kids and my wife for as long as I can
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and wisdom with us! 🌟 It's inspiring to hear how you've prioritized your well-being and family. We're grateful for your thoughtful comment and wish you many more joyful moments with your loved ones. 😊
70 last January and so grateful. This is a great video. Blessings to all. 🥰
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and I truly appreciate your support. Blessings to you as well! 🥰🙏
Blessings to you as well! 🙂
What a refreshing take on aging! Letting go of societal expectations and embracing authenticity is such a freeing concept. It’s inspiring to see how these lessons can lead to a more meaningful, joyful life at any age.
Absolutely! Embracing authenticity and shedding societal expectations can truly transform our experience of aging. It's empowering to live life on our own terms and find joy in being true to ourselves. Have you found any particular practices or mindsets that help you embrace this freedom? Sharing your journey could inspire others to do the same! 🌟
Love this. I'm 78. I lost my wife to dementia almost 2 years ears ago and then lost most of my financial resources earlier this year. While the loss of my wife still brings sadness, finding new relationships helps relieve the sadness. And on the financial side, I first felt devastated. Now I've discovered that what I have is enough. And I feel better almost every day as I discover my new world. Thanks for this video
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt story. 😊 I'm truly sorry for your loss, and it's inspiring to hear how you're finding strength and new beginnings in your journey. Your resilience and positive outlook are truly admirable. I'm glad the video could offer some support. Wishing you continued peace and happiness as you navigate your new world.
I’m 80 and feel good to tell others that I am fit to do everything my self. Keep busy but miss my friends, most have gone couple of them still just alive. I am Muslim and pray to the creator of universe and making things to benefit less fortunate as I will not be able to take any things except good deeds.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and thoughts. 🌟 It's inspiring to hear that you remain fit and active, and your commitment to helping others is truly admirable. Your faith and dedication to doing good deeds are a beautiful example for all of us. May the Creator continue to bless you with strength and peace. 🙏💫 Stay well, and thank you for being part of this journey with us! ❤️
I am a 31 year cancer survivor, and I think God every day, for waking me up,to see another day,73 next month and debt free,living my best life
Wow, what an incredible journey! 🎉 Congratulations on being a 31-year cancer survivor, and it's so inspiring to hear that you're living your best life, debt-free, and filled with gratitude each day. Turning 73 next month is another wonderful milestone to celebrate! Thank you for sharing your story-wishing you continued health, happiness, and many more beautiful days ahead. 🙏✨🎂
@gohajourney i worked om my job for 33 years in Transit system, and have been retired 14 years, I love ❤️ my lifestyle
I'm turning 77. Thank God for modern medicine! I feel good even though i'm on several meds each day. My wife passed over 10 years ago. She's still with me. Our kids are middle aged! Wow! I've lived longer than any other male in my family as far back as my great, great grandfather. I thought getting old would take longer! I'm waiting for my wife to come and take me with her. I'm certain she will. I'm fine.
Thank you so much for sharing your incredible story. It's inspiring to hear how you've embraced life and continued to find strength through your journey. Modern medicine truly is a blessing, and it's beautiful that you carry your wife with you in spirit. Wishing you many more peaceful and fulfilling moments ahead. 🙏🌿
Hey man just keep on keepin on! She will always be there waiting.
"2" I find all nine of these things truthful and full of wisdom. At 73, I have one focus. MY HEALTH! "What you think of me is none of my business."
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! 😊 I'm so glad the video resonated with you. Focusing on your health is such a powerful and wise priority, especially at 73. 🙌💖 Wishing you continued strength and peace on your journey!
I am also 73 and I totally agree with you..

The worse reality we face can be more or less the way family or siblings lose respect for you not living up to their expectations. Respect is a one way street for them. Sometimes sheer jealousy of your relationship, marriage, home, personal success, wealth or happiness. I’ve seen it with others and I also lived it. My dad’s sage advice was simple: See problems, walk away. Don’t hate, just leave them be. You won’t change their minds or their hatred. Life is much too short to suffer fools. What we did as a child out of respect need not be totally carried on for life. Blood is not always thicker than water.
Well said, and I completely agree. Blessings to all. 76 and feeling good.
I am about to turn 74 and still on a journey of happiness, peace and health. The need to let go is so important is so many ways of our life. Listening and reflecting more important than ever. Loving and caring for yourself and others.
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful perspective. It's wonderful to hear that, at 74, you're still on a journey filled with happiness, peace, and health. Letting go, listening, and reflecting are indeed powerful practices, and it’s inspiring to see how you embrace love and care for yourself and those around you. Wishing you continued joy and fulfillment on your journey! 💖✨🌿
A man who loses health wants only one thing; a man who is healthy wants everything.
That's a powerful truth! When health is compromised, it becomes the single focus, but when we have our health, the possibilities seem limitless. It's a reminder to appreciate and take care of our well-being while we can, so we can continue to pursue everything else that life offers. Health really is the foundation for everything. 🌿💪
Well put. Your health is your wealth.
I am 80 years young & still serving as a missionary having served in over 30 countries in the past 5 decades. I am now living in a wonderful situation with 7 other missionaries so my worldwide travels are over with my next journey being my final destination, Heaven with Jesus! I am presently very active as a hospice volunteer & I'm lovin' it!
Your story is truly inspiring! At 80 years young, your dedication to serving others and your vibrant spirit shine through. Having served in over 30 countries is an incredible achievement, and it's wonderful to hear that you're continuing to make a difference as a hospice volunteer. Your commitment to helping others and your positive outlook on life are admirable. Thank you for sharing your journey and for the impact you've made in so many lives. Wishing you continued joy and fulfillment in all that you do! 🌍✨
65.. clean and sober 34 years. I've been working on myself for many of these years. I knew all of this already.
I've been living the most wonderful life. Listening to this enforced what I have been doing. Thank you
Thank you for sharing your incredible journey! 🌟 Congratulations on 34 years of being clean and sober-that’s such a powerful achievement. It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve been living a fulfilling life, and I’m glad the content reinforced your path. Wishing you continued happiness and strength on this journey! 😊
Am coming on to age 73 within about a week. Live alone with my three dogs. They're the loves of my life. They're spoiled, I'm proud and happy to say. I don't miss regular human interaction, even one little bit, though I do still have a few people that put a genuine smile on my face when I see them. I like myself and my own company in what I like to think is a fair and healthy way, even with my (too) many flaws? I hope my dogs kinda like me too. We'll get on, they and I, in what remaining time together Fate chooses to give us. "Animals Forever!"
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection! It’s beautiful that you’ve found joy and companionship with your dogs and that you appreciate your own company in such a balanced way. I'm sure your dogs adore you just as much as you do them! Wishing you a happy 73rd birthday and many more wonderful moments with your furry friends. 🐾❤️ "Animals Forever!"
@@gohajourney Thanks, and please accept my good wishes back to you for good health and a genuine peace of mind.
I agree - animals - especially dogs - give immense joy - Many happy returns of your special day-
@@galepatrick1702 Best wishes to you, and thanks for the kind message.
Almost 70 now, I'm realizing that I don't get such a kick from playing music professionally anymore. A life dedicated to performing 🎶 is coming to an end. It's ok. It's been a wildly successful run, and I'm thankful for the experiences and music loving fans. Letting go and saying no thank you to future gigs feels right.
Thank you for sharing this deeply reflective moment. It sounds like you’ve had an incredible journey in music, and it's beautiful that you're at peace with this transition. Sometimes, the best way to honor a chapter of our lives is to let it close gracefully. Wishing you fulfillment in whatever comes next-you deserve it after all those amazing performances. 🎶✨
Absolutely correct, though at the age of 73 now I still wish I'd got the strength to do it all again, music is such a powerful medicine and possibly one of the best medicines there ever was, at 73 I can no longer lift those old marshalls too well but still playing, I am so grateful that my entire life has been blessed with the never ending emotions of being a guitarist, ....... I don't want to let go but I know that I have to.
I give thanks to my lord.every day i wake up..
That's a beautiful practice! 🙏 Each new day is a blessing, and starting it with gratitude makes all the difference. Thank you for sharing that with us, and may your days continue to be filled with peace and thankfulness. 🌅💛
Me to Iam 71 !, my husband 73! Together we are so happy I feel so lucky!,
Decluttering !!!!! oh my GOd ...t he work invloved is daunting
I totally get that! 😅 Decluttering can feel overwhelming, but taking it one step at a time makes it more manageable. Just think of how refreshing it’ll feel once it’s done! 💪 You’ve got this!
One step at a time. Just close your eyes and go for it. If there was a fire and you lost it all, would you still be alive?
When you own too many things, then the things own you.
That’s such a powerful truth! When we accumulate too much, our possessions can begin to control us, weighing us down instead of bringing joy. Simplicity brings freedom and peace. 🌿✨
@@gohajourney
Indeed I’m letting go of 1 item at least every day 👏❤️
So what!
No clarity whatsoever. Such a nonsense.
This video resonates deeply! The idea of shedding the weight of others' opinions after 70 is so liberating. It’s something many people, even younger generations, could benefit from embracing sooner. Thank you for sharing such an important message!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I'm glad the message resonated with you. It’s truly freeing to let go of others' opinions, and you're absolutely right-embracing this mindset earlier in life can be empowering. Appreciate your support! 😊🙌
Giving is great joy, grandchildren and great grandchildren are joy proverbs 17:6 is joy to me. I agree that negativity in ones life need not be there Wether from yourself or others. The Lord has blessed me with the age of 75 years and in these years I’ve fairly well marched to the drummers playing in my head. Not seeking approval from others nor much caring what others thought of me. My wife and I been married for 56 years and fairly well been happy throughout out life we both became Christian about mid way through our journey and things really changed for us. Believing in God and that he’s sovereign changes one outlook and prospective on life. I hay farm and help my grandson row crop farm and take joy in this. Most people we know don’t understand this, but again I still listen to the drummers in my head. We have two granddaughters who are both very young in life and they are blessings to us. We have two great grandchildren a girl and little boy we don’t get to see them much. But they are still loved by us. I take great joy in walking out side in the very early morning hours of the day and looking into the heavens and knowing that the Lord is there and he’s sending his son to get his church and I’m thinking soon.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful reflection. Your joy in giving, family, and faith is truly inspiring. 🌟 Proverbs 17:6 speaks volumes about the blessings of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and it's clear your life has been filled with love and purpose. At 75, your approach to living authentically, marching to your own drummer, and finding strength in your faith is a wonderful testament to the power of belief and staying true to yourself. Your connection to nature and the peace you find in the early mornings is a reminder of the beauty in simplicity. Wishing you continued blessings and joy as you walk this journey. 💙🙏
Thank you. You have expressed it for me. My God, my family, peace, and gentle joy.
Love this perspective! Simplifying life after 70 makes so much sense
Thank you! 😊 Simplifying life after 70 truly does make sense-it’s a time to focus on what really matters and let go of unnecessary stress or clutter. It’s about finding joy in the little things, embracing peace, and living with intention. What’s one way you’ve simplified your life that’s brought you the most happiness? 🌟💛
@@gohajourney ok
I am 76, I have learned more in the last 6 years than in the previous 70. My wife died last year, and I have even learned more about her by doing what she used to do without any fuss and bother. I have also looked deeply into human history and spirituality. I am ready to join my wife when my time comes.
As a 78 y old human I fully agree and started to do things described here to lead a fulfilling meaningfull life. Thanks to the creators, the video is beautiful!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌟 It’s wonderful to hear that you're embracing the steps toward a fulfilling and meaningful life. Wishing you continued joy and fulfillment on this journey! 😊✨

@@c.a.narayannarayan141 hi! I'd like to know your secret?
Such an insightful video! It’s fascinating how perspectives and priorities shift as we age. This really made me reflect on the things we take for granted in younger years. Great job, Goha Journey!
Thank you so much for your kind words! 🌟 It’s amazing how life’s priorities evolve with time, isn’t it? What’s one thing you’ve come to appreciate more as you’ve grown older? I’d love to hear your reflections!

i just turned 71,i remember the panic i felt when i turned 60 (my bench mark then for old was 6o) i think and am reminded my death is imminent,i pray that i will accept my departure from this world, remembering Gods grace and mercy, and will be comforted and not experiance the aloness i felt throughout most of my life
god will provide
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection. It’s understandable to feel those emotions as we reach different milestones in life. Your faith in God's grace and mercy will guide and comfort you. You are not alone, and may peace and strength be with you as you continue this journey. God will indeed provide. 🙏✨
interesting thoughts from this video. I am 76 and the last 3 years have seen cancer, surgery and heart attack. It does change your perspective each day when you know that tomorrow is not guaranteed. My wife has been my rock, supporting me without question.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE SIR, as you said: "It does change your perspective each day when you know that tomorrow is not guaranteed.". God bless you and your family.
I am 73. According to myself,
Every day above ground is a holiday.
Every meal is a banquet.
Yesterday was a memory.
And tomorrow is just a rumor.
I find myself doing projects that I like to do and as I do them I use the things I've had for years such as tools materials I've had laying around and I build & make things mostly in the garage and as I go along I come across things I never used and out to the trash they go. So I'm basically getting rid and cleaning out at the same time. I know it's time to do this . After listening to this video it makes me feel pretty good knowing I'm on the right track. I have my ailments and I get frustrated that I can't do what I used to do. I will say that getting old is not for Sissy's. I thank God everyday for my very existence. There are other things that between my wife & I and the 50 years we've been married we have to be careful on decisions we make. We've had great pets all our married life and raised and loved them but when my last two dogs died ,we missed having them so we rescued two dogs that are 3 years old and we never rescued a dog before . Now I'm 73 and these two dogs broke our hearts when we saw how depressed and sad they were behind cages in a shelter that we took them home. The worry is will the dogs out live us. Will they be hurt and abandoned again?If they live 14 years or so , how old will I be makes me think that maybe I should have called it quits after my last two passed away. Then my kids told us they will never be abandoned and they would take them both along with the few dogs they have. We feel better now but my point is be careful people and don't make decisions for long terms.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection! It’s wonderful to hear how you’re making the most of every day, working on projects you love, and finding joy in the small things. Your story about rescuing the dogs touched my heart-what a beautiful act of kindness. It’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into your decisions, and it’s comforting to know your kids will take care of your furry companions. Wishing you many more fulfilling days ahead, and may you continue to be on the right track! 🙏🐾✨
I know what your saying. I 71 hubs 73 we planted apple trees last year are we going to live to see these trees produce fruit?
Hope so!
At 62 I was told I had a metastasizing prostate cancer. Although raised a Catholic by my mother and grandmother, I rarely made time to go to church until my children were born and had not been to confession since 8th grade. I was not worried about dying as much as who would take care of my daughter who suffered from physical then mental issues. I did not feel worthy to pray to Jesus as being a hypocrite. I heard on a religious radio station that Mother Mary would always help those who came to her in such situations. Having nothing to lose I tried praying to her to intervene for me. I am now 70 after surgery and 40 radiation treatments. I am helping my daughter. I pray to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit and Thank them every day. I also say the Rosary everyday. During the Rosary I give a confession to God for daily and past sins. Number 2 !!!
Thank you for sharing your deeply personal journey. It's moving to hear about the strength you've found through faith and your devotion to caring for your daughter. It takes such courage to face challenges like this, and your resilience is inspiring. I'm so glad that prayer and the Rosary have brought you comfort, peace, and purpose. Wishing you continued strength, health, and blessings as you walk this path. 🙏✨💖
Thank you for your suggestions. Just turned 70 this year. I’m still working as a chiropractor and energetic healer in 5 countries. It’s still a labor of love and I’m grateful for the role I’ve played in helping others. Playing my guitars, working with my photography and writing books are my hobbies. I look toward my changing roles, passing on the abilities and knowledge to my students. I’m 11 years sober and grateful for the clarity and presence that the 12 steps give me.
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story! It’s amazing to hear that at 70, you’re still doing work that you love and making a meaningful impact across multiple countries. Your dedication to helping others, combined with your creative pursuits in music, photography, and writing, is truly admirable. Congratulations on 11 years of sobriety-that’s an incredible achievement, and I’m glad you’ve found clarity and presence through the 12 steps. Wishing you continued success and fulfillment in all that you do! 🎸📸📚🙏✨
71. NOW EVERY DAY IS TRULY A GIFT OF LIFE. I ALWAYS GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD. MIND MY OWN BUSINESS. TRY TO BE SILENT AFTER A LIFE OF MAKING NOISE.

I stopped making noise as well and at age 68 I sit back and let other people make idiots of themselves
I am 82 years old. Three years ago I started playing the ukulele. I accept my ukulele limitations and love my progress. I pick old blues songs. What makes me different is that I lived in San Francisco in the late 1960s. It opened my mind to enjoy life through it's ups and downs. Keep on trucking. #2.
Ukulele, ah, yes, Hawaiian for " jumping flea"
That's amazing! At 82, picking up the ukulele and embracing your journey with it, especially playing old blues songs, is such a wonderful way to keep life vibrant. Living in San Francisco during the late 1960s must have been an incredible experience, and it’s clear that the lessons from that time have stayed with you, shaping your outlook on life. Keep on trucking and enjoying every moment, ups and downs included! 🎶✨🚛
