When my mother died at 99 she still managed all of her personal needs. She used a samsung tablet, always learning new ways of using it. She was even taking college level courses well into her 90's. I provided room and board, but she helped around the house until the last few months. ❤
Your mother sounds very much like mine! God bless them both! I moved her in with me and we enjoyed so much together! She died as she lived, in perfect peace, no upset or fanfare...nor pain. Three deep breaths and she left! in Peace!
She had a great attitude toward life, and didn't "grow old". I personally cannot be around older folks who talk as though they have one foot in the grave because they bore me to death.
ME TOO. *I'm Elaine *...At 80, no one recognizes my age any where near. Be happy. *I'm Elaine *. I feel great . I survived breast cancer, 8 years ago, without chemo, radiation, and that little 5 year pill. I went to the Great Physician, our Creator, Heavenly Father Above. HalleluYah.
I still have my faculties. I'm Elaine...I cook, keep house, 3 story modern log house, I am seamstress for other people, am a military veteran, love to read and work crossword puzzles. DON'T GROW UP AND YOU WON'T GROW OLD!! Words of my Mother. 🎶💃🍷. Love Heavenly Father Above.
I am 79 and do all of the 9 things quite well. It’s not always easy. I help prepare meals for the elderly..89 meals per week. I read a lot .follow my father’s advice..to learn something new every day. I do not take one pill. I exercise with a trainer. I TOOK UP ART AGAIN AND MET LOVELY PEOPLE. Emotionally I get depressed at times and lonely. I’m a very strong lady. I just retired. I gradually did it over 1 1/2 yrs . Living in the NOW IS THE HARDEST THING FOR ME. I SEEK PEACE. FORGIVING IS NOT SO EASY FOR ME. IM TRYING EVERY DAY. THANK YOU FIR THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO.
I am 74 years young and I have a wonderful life I cook Clean do a little gardening shop age is just a number. Most important thing I do is if my body tells me it needs a rest. I have one. I think you must listen to your body and respect it.I have no intentions of getting hold as it’s just a state of mind. I’ve had two knee replacements and now walk very well. No more arthritis. That is awesome
Recently turned 80, had a 50 year career as Equestrian, now completely indulging in my career as a fine artist working in oils. Avoid watching tv, but constantly on my cell, making videos on my TH-cam channel. Thank you for this encouraging video.
I am a woman of 97 years old. I have listen to your teaching , and there is not a word you have said which I do not agree completely . Particularly been financially indipendente and aware of scams. So far I have been able to do it. By living my life as much as possible as you do advise 41:16 . I have reached my age physical and spirituale in stability . With the help of my my daughter and friends. But I do live independently. alone If I may ad one more advise it would be to accept what you can not change, as the death of a love one.
@@janethill4365 The saying, that I likely will get wrong, “The outside of a horse,is what is good for the inside of man “. It is true, in my mid 80’s still have one 19 year old horse. I have had him since he was weaned, still feed and take care of him well. Friends say he keeps me going, physically and mentally….they are on to something…as in the saying. 🤠👍
I live alone because my two sons failed me but thank God i worked 40 years and SSS monthly check which i manage cleverly and protect smartly. I am just living my life fully and intelligently.
I am 76 years old and live in an country far away from home and alone. I run a business that keeps me busy and many friends and extra curriculum activities. True, when I have a chance I take a nap or meditate and that do yoga and zumba. Go bed before 9 and get up early in the morning between 6 and 7. Sooo...happy don't need my children's support. I am independent and self supporting individual.
I just celebrated my 80th birthday this month, happy and healthy. I perform kata every other day like a 20 year old, enjoy good food, drink beer occasionally, and do not worry. Laughter is the best medicine.
I am 72, soon to be 73, i am still a professional Harpist, carrying arround all my harp, sound sytem and equipment a few times a week. I still Teach the harp, build courses and create music and inspirational videos on TH-cam. I have always followed the creative inspirations that come through me. I am so grateful !
I am 72. I agree with everything you said except that we must socialize and not be lonely. Alone and lonely are two different things. I enjoy my "aloneness" so very much!! George Moustaki has a song named Ma Solitude. The translation is: I am never lonely with my solitude. Loved reading other comments !!!! Thank you all !!!!
Very true. Alone and lonely are two very different ways of being. However, I don't believe any one of us is ever alone. We are connected and part of everything around us - the wind, trees, clouds, the beautiful sounds of the wind and rain - and even the sounds of my old cat who snores when she sleeps. We are the universe and the universe is us.
Agree. I have always been my own best friend . It sounds selfish/self centred, but if you remain fully engaged in the world and follow the other 8 principles then I am not lonely. My real friends are my family network and we all engage positively together.
Although I have scoliosis and I am making plans to have it rectified. But when I have my spine repaired I plan to continue piano lessons , learn French , and try to learn to swim. Other items will be calligraphy which I did try at one point in time. Also I am 91+ years of age. Thanks for this video You confirm what I have always said age numbers are only a number not a death sentence. ❤❤❤😊😊😊LK from 🇨🇦

I enjoy painting...my home. At 77 I am once again re-painting my apartment. Completed my bathroom and kitchen (2 most difficult rooms). Looking forward to my entrance next, them my living area, and lastly my bedroom. Love re-decorating every 7 years or so. A bit slower, more care on the ladder, but greatly satisfying. Writing my ongoing memoir (for my grandchildren's eyes only). Reading 2 books a week, shopping and cooking healthy meals. Pain and meds-free. Life is the best it's ever been.
I am a 77 years old female. I cook, sew, visit friends, have a good relationship with my family and friends. I pay our bills thru online banking and am learning new skills every day..how to balance, do exercises and go to the gym. I love exercising! I love my lifestyle and am an influencer to my friends. I have lost 30 pounds in the last year and participate in life unconditionally. I am proud to love life!

HAAAA! I FEEL GOOD!
Laughing at myself helps me a lot. It tells me that I still have sense of humor. Also brings me back into the moment. It’s so easy to have your mind act like a run away train. Whereas I just like to travel one station at a time. Time for a cup of coffee and the newspaper. Then walk , a stretch listening to a story on my ear pods. Love short stories. Oh I’m 76.
I LOVE All THESE, it’s the TRUTH- I’m 71- going to 72, I LOVE gardening, I walk 5 miles a day / 5 days a week, I enjoy going to different Malls, not to spend money for shopping just looking around, I also enjoy going to church and involve in some organizations, I also enjoy going to casino”” I don’t loss money just go eat and try 20.00 in the slot machine, enjoy meeting my ex- coworkers there, so I keep myself busy. These is really very good values and very true, thank you so much. God bless, take care.🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍❤️
I am 77, a few weeks ago I was flying on an airplane across country. Someone thought this was the first time I was on a plane because I was so joyful looking out the window as if it was the first time seeing the world from high above. I have been flying since the old DC nine prop planes of the 50s. It is just that when I see things it’s always the first time. Even when I look out my window at my house, it is the first time when I go fishing and I watched the water pass before me for the first time. Learning has been my lifelong habit and hobby . Asking questions and finding answers. Challenges are joy. Could stay at a job once I learned it. Yet., every job helped me on the next. It was like walking up a ladder of education. (I’ve never been good at managing my money… I end up giving more away if I have a dollar extra, instead of putting it away for tomorrow when I’ll need it)
I’m 76 years young. I play the guitar, harmonica, piano, percussion etc. I also enjoy riding a bike every Sunday plus do gardening, chores & cooking 🏄🏿♂️ I go online to manage my finances daily. I’m a Vietnam Vet ‘68-‘69 and retired Merchant Marine 34yrs🥷🏼
I am 70 in 3 months! I have been a happy beautician for 50 yrs now! I work behind the chair 4 days a week in a big busy mall! I do 27 miles at the gym 3 times a week on bike and treadmill! I draw,play guitar, and read! I have been very fortunate and have had a blessed life! I love the lord and am grateful for every day! Every night l pray for others l have always been a happy person! Never angry! I have so much to be grateful for l love people and sharing life's experiences with them! Thank you for this informative video! I will continue on my path may the Lord bless you all in yours!❤🎉❤🎉❤😊
I play Bridge, Mah Jongg, Quilting. I walk, run, sprint 4 miles a day. I swim in our pool at least 2 times a week. Sometimes I do my walk.run at the Beach when it’s not too hot. I also do Line Dancing once a week . Sometimes I teach the class. I learn so much on TH-cam. I have a notebook that I take notes as I listen. I do Bible Study twice a week and go to Church every Sunday, also. I love cruising and try to go on one once a year. I’m 71 and feel very blessed!!!❤
I agree, Ma'am! Live your life for yourself NOT for others. I'm now 72 of age from South East Asia, MALAYSIA, (Penang Island). Take Care & enjoy your llife fully...
At 78 and pushing 79, I’ve been fortunate to remain mostly healthy. I am feeling my years but im still active and go dancing several times per week and walk often 3-5 or more miles. I do have some worries and concerns about things but I’m looking for solutions and implementing plans that even if a bit scary look like viable options to better my life. Yes, I could have done better in many ways but I’ve given up bad habits and slowly learned to be more patient and don’t allow the obstacles along the way to consume my spirit although it’s hard to not be affected. I’m a little scared but looking forward to my next journey.
Hey Mr. Buddha, I am 89 going on 90. . .why do you STOP at 80? What about us hardy, happy going on 90's? There are plenty of us , we totally fit your mold ,and we are wise with plenty to share!!!!!!!.
Glad to hear ya!!! ... I was goin to say... Glad to hear ya "Quack' 111 knowin that some folks fon't think that ducks are very smart...might take exception...but i thought again about it & let out the Quack...Anyway!!! 😆😆😆😆😆
@joniwilsonthewinnersvoice Brawo, Bravo, Bravo and I agree with you .Those ,, Buddhist " are full of bullshit making Business of it and nothing else .Typical for Asian Countries..
I make jewelry I walk I collect rocks. I create things I’m 73. I stay away from people that have drama. I like to be calm. I’d like to be by myself most of the time.
I am 82 and have a 6 yr old beagle and a bird (conure) she talks to me! My beagle, Sadie keeps me going. Taking on her walks and play when she brings me her toys and drops them at my feet, who can resist playing. I still do my exercises and dancing of which I have done most of my life. I also make jewelry. I read, but not enough. I have tinnitis, which is at times debilitating, but forge on.
I can’t do much with exercise and long walks physically anymore, but I read, learn new things, play piano, and sing in my church choir. And I love all sciences and playing word games, and writing. And, I have a pet kitty whom I adore. ❤
Being 77, I wake up reading after doing my Buddhist prayers. Lots of hobbies, writing, sewing, watching good movies, encouraging others, etc. While being a people person, I enjoy solitude. I'm not on any crazy medications. I'm just glad to be alive.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I AM 77 YEARS OLD. I HAVE STUDIED BUDDHA’s TEACHINGS FOR THE LAST 25 OR MORE YEARS. Hearing these words show me how these teachings which all resonate to me personally and have influenced my life deeply have kept me healthy and “sane” through many difficulties in my life. You encouraged me to keep on going the way I have been going. I hope younger people listen to your words too in order to benefit in the later years of life.
Younger People cannot hear words of wisdom ,because when you are young ,you don’t know you are ,when you get old ,you never thought you would be ,only other people gets old. And you know you are old .you have something to compare the old you ,to the younger you .says this 78 yr old woman,on no medications ,perfect health ,Made a Wooden box manually,to plant my garlic .love love ❤ keeps you young .I love Everything on this planet ,talk to my plants , love all creed of people ,as we are one ,split ,to many billions ,same spirit inside ,look at the blue sky ,read the clouds ,when good weather , spiritual through to my bone .I know there is Another spiritual life after Death ,I proof ,as i used to get ,messages ,personal ones that helped ..voice is neither male or female ,but i did hear many many times ,not so last 5 yrs .??? We are lucky indeed to be aware and humble enough to know we are all mortals,on a journey to improve our souls . Love to you ,Difficulties i know realise ,wers lessons ….stay well and take care as usual .. ❤
I’m 83 and workout on a walking and biking machines most every day. I listen to these Buddhist videos and meditate most days. I work on staying positive as much as possible. I go to ACA a 12 step meeting on dealing with childhood issues. A must! I try to think of God as much as I can and work on deep breathing. I get lowered feelings more than I would like. I spend a lot of time alone by choice because I believe solitary times are extremely important. I used to be a super busy person and really, what I was doing was trying to run from myself. I love gardening and have beautiful flowers and fruit trees and a vegetable garden. I am a work in progress.😊
I am 71 and still enjoy learning and reading every day. I find learning is like peeling an onion, you something new everyday as you peel to the next layer.
Thank you for your unique and needed program for seniors and everyone no matter what your age. I am 79 and have had a clear work path all my life.. Because of my biology, landscape architecture and environmental degrees, I was fortunate to work with Buddhists in Singapore helping them create their Garden City in the 1970s. I continue this work in the home where I grew up in Silicon Valley. I will need many years to turn the tech world into an environmentally beautiful and sustainable world but little by little I see change! My business is called Secret Gardens named after the theme of the Secret Garden book… nature heals. Creating natural spaces for all life forms is a never ending source of joy for me. Therefore, I will need to live way past 100. God gives me the energy and creative ways to do this work and your program reminded me of this. Gratefully, Kathryn Mathewson
Now, I am 71.5 yrs old, keep myself busy in gardening, karaoke singing , pottery articals, and talking with good old friends over fone, traveling, drawing n attending possibly all holy & other functions, driving 2 & 4 wheeler etc etc, thanks to God almighty 🙏 🙏 🙏
I am 73 and still working as a hair stylist working 3-4 days a week ..for 45 years now ..I cook for myself and eating a very healthy diet .. I exercise at home every morning for up to 45 min..I want to take violin lessons ..and get to my painting again ..I have 2 smaller older dogs who are a joy and much company..I go to music venues and enjoy dancing ..I had knee replacement went I was 68 ..best thing I could have done with myself .. I moved to Florida from a cold winter state when I was 63 and it has been wonderful for me to be able to do activities all year round rather than to be shut in a house in the winter months that was truly a blessing for me. I pray I listen to God, and pray for his continued healing, prosperity and able to take care of myself and a good life the spirit.. you’re right just a number… My son thinks I should be in a rocking chair and I think I should be rocking to music!
I’m 71 and love living in my own home. It makes me feel independent even though I need some help around the house. I have health issues and have had issues since I was in my late thirties. I read, keep up with politics, I learn from the internet, and love to listen to all kinds of music. I play scrabble on an app with many people. The only thing I miss are my children. I lost one 8 years ago and it was very hard to go through, but now I know he’s watching over me. My other 2 children and grandchildren have their own lives and that’s okay. I am alone but not always lonely. I meditate and I am living in the present moment. I have 2 cats that I adore and love how they also live in the present moment. I’ve taken that lesson from them. I am happy.
I am 84. I try to keep up with the political problems in this dificult time for the world . Also I like to paint. Starting to learn about Budism was a recent venture and I am enjoying your programs. Thankyou.
@arsyscats Me too, cats bring so much love and joy into our lives, they’re work if you really give them care, but they’re worth it. I also love my gardening and also have done landscaping, very hard work. 🙏
I appreciate your advice . Reducing stress, daily exercise , healthy diet and social life are all we need for long healthy life , as you mentioned. I am a medical doctor ( psychiatrist ) and understand and appreciate each and every word in your video. I help my family and friends with good advice and sometimes financial assistance. It makes me feel better helping others . I enjoyed your video. May God bless for blessing others. 🙏

I am almost 85 and have been doing ballroom dancing for over 25 years. I also exercise doing Zumba and other exercises. I am in excellent shape for my age . I keep my mind sharp by doing crossword puzzles. And other types of puzzles. I read a lot and belong to a book club. I feel thankfully at my age I am still able to do this . I see others younger than I am have health problems and need a lot of help to get by. Pat k

I’m 77, I fish, travel, knit, I haven’t crocheted anything for years or bordered, but I still have my supplies. I paint, and I build things. After, my trip to Sweden in the spring of 2025. I have plans on having my chickens again, and maybe take a pigeons. I will wait until the time comes. I look ahead as far as I can, but I do not dwell there. This is because there’s no guarantees. So I spend the time, unless it’s recreational in the mind, and tomorrow. I have profit from my life, unfortunately, not in my pocketbook, but I’m happy…. no… Not happy I am very content.
@@bonnitaclaus2286 I live in the place Debarmaalo in Skopje ! It used to be a district with small houses and gardens , but now is full with buildings not higher than 5 floors ! Beautiful Park is near and river Vardar ! You cannot emagine that there is such a beautiful park in the World ! And from the other side is boulevard Partizanska ! I like to be dressed well and at night going for walk , we call it korzo ( promenade ) among young people mostly in the street which is called " Bohemian street " The market is near and all day long you can see me siting on the bench coupling with different kind of people . I am visiting three Pensioner's clubs , playing kart and singing quietly with friends !
Still fully engaged; Meditation; Exercise; good diet. Interests; reading; science; new physics; internet; old movies; documentaries. Plus: Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime and departing leave our footprints on the sands of time.
I am 90 plus, still learning a new language, sewing and crocheting, watching old and new movies, driving and taking care of my business as long as God let’s me

I am almost 77. Had colon cancer two years before and now everything clear after treatment. Everyday I swim 500-600 meters with some friends. Leading a normal life. Thanks. 🙏
If you ever listen to anything while reading comments, let it be this - go to borlest and read the book whispers of manifestation, then come back and thank me
From Christianity I have learned that hate towards the ones you love most is natural. And without this hate, not chronic though, you will never be really free. It has helped me to understand my children and my self. Yes. Sometimes our children hate us, and don't want to see us. Then I think it can be wise, to feel within yourself, who you like to be. Still their mother, even if they have a problem with you, remembering them in birthdays, Christmas with a little gift, if you can, sometimes a sms, an encouraging, nice message. That is all. If your child answer it is not the goal. It is up to her. The goal in this case is you. You will strengthen yourself in the role of parent. And that will never be wrong, but good for everybody. All the best to everybody.
@@janetchisholm7020 Well it depends how You define hate. I think that every feeling is important. Hate is a feeling. You have to understand them all, respect them, not be a slave to them. Not be afraid of them, Not avoid them. Even your hate can be good and useful.
@@ann-christinkristiansson8948I totally agree, hate we were told was a grievous sin. However if we never allow ourselves to experience the harmful effect of hate we will never grow nor learn to forgive self. One cannot forgive another without first forgiving self. Tis human to err but divine to forgive, my mothers gem. I've learned to love myself more sincerely via the gift to first forgive another whom is actually a gift towards my own self actualisation. Thank you for sharing.

After last year’s cataract surgery can see great.
I work part-time as a security officer. I love playing and studying a musical instrument and exercise. my blood pressure issues sometimes get in the way, but it doesn't rob me of my joy doing them. 😊

You can wither away from anger and resentment. We see it everywhere. Wise up people, live the rest of your life in peace and harmony. No one is always right. We all make mistakes. Learn to forgive and move on. That is my philosophy now as a senior. It was not that way in my youth, but we live and learn that there is no “perfect one” here on the Planet Earth. Be thankful and grateful for life at this age and if you can’t do anything else, you can be kind to others.
Teach me to be a bright and more loving light house. Kindness. Giving me my purpose. Point me In the direction that will impact this world in a amazing way. ❤🙏🙌🙃

I am 71 y.o. I trust my life in the OMNIPOTENT who owns it. To stay longer, I am avoiding activities that is detrimental to my health. I used to drink wines. I used to stay late. I am easily provoke and I worry much about life. Now, I quit wines. I sleep early and longer hours. I do not buy any provocation that will raise up my heart's palpitation. And above all, I worship God from the rising of the sun to the going down. I have no FEAR of going anytime because to die is to rest as Rizal said in his MI ULTIMO ADIOS!!!! MORRIR A DESCANSAR
I am 69 years old but still strong and quick. I had been farming alone for three years planting my own food and raising my own animals (for consumption. I have raised my children very good that they all became successful on their own endeavour. I am the founder of Dynamic Lifestyle of Shorin-Ryu Inc. here in Canada and also the Dynamic Circle of Shorin-Ryu which started since 1985. My secret in life is resilience, patience, and self-discipline which came from the okinawan culture of karate.
When my mother died at 99 she still managed all of her personal needs. She used a samsung tablet, always learning new ways of using it. She was even taking college level courses well into her 90's. I provided room and board, but she helped around the house until the last few months. ❤
Your mother sounds very much like mine! God bless them both! I moved her in with me and we enjoyed so much together! She died as she lived, in perfect peace, no upset or fanfare...nor pain. Three deep breaths and she left! in Peace!
@@elizabethkelley6203 it is truly how we live our lives that makes the difference. Bless you!
❤
She had a great attitude toward life, and didn't "grow old". I personally cannot be around older folks who talk as though they have one foot in the grave because they bore me to death.
At 81 I climbed the highest peak in Phil. And runs marathon. At 71 Climbed Annapurna circuit in The Himalaya. Nearly 82 I still run.
I’m 81 years old I avoid stress and anger ,I’m still doing cooking and doing my grocery and I walk
Well done you me too ❤

ME TOO. *I'm Elaine *...At 80, no one recognizes my age any where near. Be happy. *I'm Elaine *. I feel great . I survived breast cancer, 8 years ago, without chemo, radiation, and that little 5 year pill. I went to the Great Physician, our Creator, Heavenly Father Above. HalleluYah.
I still have my faculties. I'm Elaine...I cook, keep house, 3 story modern log house, I am seamstress for other people, am a military veteran, love to read and work crossword puzzles. DON'T GROW UP AND YOU WON'T GROW OLD!! Words of my Mother. 🎶💃🍷. Love Heavenly Father Above.
I am 79 and do all of the 9 things quite well. It’s not always easy. I help prepare meals for the elderly..89 meals per week. I read a lot .follow my father’s advice..to learn something new every day. I do not take one pill. I exercise with a trainer. I TOOK UP ART AGAIN AND MET LOVELY PEOPLE. Emotionally I get depressed at times and lonely. I’m a very strong lady. I just retired. I gradually did it over 1 1/2 yrs . Living in the NOW IS THE HARDEST THING FOR ME. I SEEK PEACE. FORGIVING IS NOT SO EASY FOR ME. IM TRYING EVERY DAY. THANK YOU FIR THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO.
I am 74 years young and I have a wonderful life I cook Clean do a little gardening shop
age is just a number. Most important thing I do is if my body tells me it needs a rest. I have one. I think you must listen to your body and respect it.I have no intentions of getting hold as it’s just a state of mind. I’ve had two knee replacements and now walk very well. No more arthritis. That is awesome
Recently turned 80, had a 50 year career as Equestrian, now completely indulging in my career as a fine artist working in oils. Avoid watching tv, but constantly on my cell, making videos on my TH-cam channel. Thank you for this encouraging video.
I am a woman of 97 years old.
I have listen to your teaching , and there is not a word you have said which I do not agree completely .
Particularly been financially indipendente and aware of scams.
So far I have been able to do it. By living my life as much as possible as you do advise 41:16 . I have reached my age physical and spirituale in stability . With the help of my my daughter and friends. But I do live independently. alone
If I may ad one more advise it would be to accept what you can not change, as the death of a love one.
I too rode horses for many decades. I did all my own barn work and rode sometimes three horses daily. I am 76.
@@janethill4365 The saying, that I likely will get wrong, “The outside of a horse,is what is good for the inside of man “. It is true, in my mid 80’s still have one 19 year old horse. I have had him since he was weaned, still feed and take care of him well. Friends say he keeps me going, physically and mentally….they are on to something…as in the saying. 🤠👍
I live alone because my two sons failed me but thank God i worked 40 years and SSS monthly check which i manage cleverly and protect smartly. I am just living my life fully and intelligently.
Good fr u, get up, dress up n go out, Blessings fr good health.
Ben.. don't know ur sit rep but failing you mabe not it..people fail themselves
I am 76 years old and live in an country far away from home and alone. I run a business that keeps me busy and many friends and extra curriculum activities. True, when I have a chance I take a nap or meditate and that do yoga and zumba. Go bed before 9 and get up early in the morning between 6 and 7. Sooo...happy don't need my children's support. I am independent and self supporting individual.
so sorry... that is heartbreaking...
and yet you are doing great !
@@vveizagaThat sounds like me. Thank you for sharing your blessings 💫✨💎🍃🌹🍃
I just celebrated my 80th birthday this month, happy and healthy. I perform kata every other day like a 20 year old, enjoy good food, drink beer occasionally, and do not worry. Laughter is the best medicine.
I am in my
94th year, I still work for my Church, I still drive . My christen beliefs keep me going!.
God Bless You 🙏

I am 72, soon to be 73, i am still a professional Harpist, carrying arround all my harp, sound sytem and equipment a few times a week. I still Teach the harp, build courses and create music and inspirational videos on TH-cam. I have always followed the creative inspirations that come through me. I am so grateful !
Such a beautiful instrument. The harp ❤
I am 72. I agree with everything you said except that we must socialize and not be lonely. Alone and lonely are two different things. I enjoy my "aloneness" so very much!! George Moustaki has a song named Ma Solitude. The translation is: I am never lonely with my solitude. Loved reading other comments !!!! Thank you all !!!!
Very true. Alone and lonely are two very different ways of being. However, I don't believe any one of us is ever alone. We are connected and part of everything around us - the wind, trees, clouds, the beautiful sounds of the wind and rain - and even the sounds of my old cat who snores when she sleeps. We are the universe and the universe is us.
Agree. I have always been my own best friend . It sounds selfish/self centred, but if you remain fully engaged in the world and follow the other 8 principles then I am not lonely. My real friends are my family network and we all engage positively together.
I'm with you. I truly enjoy aloneness, peace and quiet.
Although I have scoliosis and I am making plans to have it rectified. But when I have my spine repaired I plan to continue piano lessons , learn French , and try to learn to swim. Other items will be calligraphy which I did try at one point in time. Also I am 91+ years of age. Thanks for this video You confirm what I have always said age numbers are only a number not a death sentence. ❤❤❤😊😊😊LK from 🇨🇦

I enjoy painting...my home. At 77 I am once again re-painting my apartment. Completed my bathroom and kitchen (2 most difficult rooms). Looking forward to my entrance next, them my living area, and lastly my bedroom. Love re-decorating every 7 years or so. A bit slower, more care on the ladder, but greatly satisfying. Writing my ongoing memoir (for my grandchildren's eyes only). Reading 2 books a week, shopping and cooking healthy meals. Pain and meds-free. Life is the best it's ever been.
WOW! REALLY Impressive!!!
I am a 77 years old female. I cook, sew, visit friends, have a good relationship with my family and friends. I pay our bills thru online banking and am learning new skills every day..how to balance, do exercises and go to the gym. I love exercising! I love my lifestyle and am an influencer to my friends. I have lost 30 pounds in the last year and participate in life unconditionally. I am proud to love life!
This video maker does not know how our agers really are.

I am 80 I do my own house work even window cleaning, am studying online and also working part time 7.5hrs 5 times daily, , I write songs,I walk to the mall unaided, my memory is 150% ,I do my garden and ask for help only with heavy objects or duties, I'm NEVER LONEY NO BELLT HANGING FAT, I THINK II LOOK AND FEEL 50!! HAAAA! I FEEL GOOD!
Everything is good but why are you proud of it
@@marjoriemoncho3704Respect to you!
@@michaelmelamed9103may be dhe has to undertake some efforts to live like that at 80.
Laughing at myself helps me a lot. It tells me that I still have sense of humor. Also brings me back into the moment. It’s so easy to have your mind act like a run away train. Whereas I just like to travel one station at a time. Time for a cup of coffee and the newspaper. Then walk , a stretch listening to a story on my ear pods. Love short stories. Oh I’m 76.
I, too like short stories.
I LOVE All THESE, it’s the TRUTH- I’m 71- going to 72, I LOVE gardening, I walk 5 miles a day / 5 days a week, I enjoy going to different Malls, not to spend money for shopping just looking around, I also enjoy going to church and involve in some organizations, I also enjoy going to casino”” I don’t loss money just go eat and try 20.00 in the slot machine, enjoy meeting my ex- coworkers there, so I keep myself busy. These is really very good values and very true, thank you so much. God bless, take care.🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍❤️
I do the same, funny.
So am I. I’m 81yo! I think what we are doing extends our lives. Husband passed away in 2013.
I am 77, a few weeks ago I was flying on an airplane across country. Someone thought this was the first time I was on a plane because I was so joyful looking out the window as if it was the first time seeing the world from high above. I have been flying since the old DC nine prop planes of the 50s. It is just that when I see things it’s always the first time. Even when I look out my window at my house, it is the first time when I go fishing and I watched the water pass before me for the first time.
Learning has been my lifelong habit and hobby . Asking questions and finding answers. Challenges are joy. Could stay at a job once I learned it. Yet., every job helped me on the next. It was like walking up a ladder of education.
(I’ve never been good at managing my money… I end up giving more away if I have a dollar extra, instead of putting it away for tomorrow when I’ll need it)
Man, you sound like me. God bless
I’m 76 years young. I play the guitar, harmonica, piano, percussion etc. I also enjoy riding a bike every Sunday plus do gardening, chores & cooking 🏄🏿♂️ I go online to manage my finances daily. I’m a Vietnam Vet ‘68-‘69 and retired

I like very much your vedios always watching
I play Bridge, Mah Jongg, Quilting. I walk, run, sprint 4 miles a day. I swim in our pool at least 2 times a week. Sometimes I do my walk.run at the Beach when it’s not too hot. I also do Line Dancing once a week . Sometimes I teach the class. I learn so much on TH-cam. I have a notebook that I take notes as I listen. I do Bible Study twice a week and go to Church every Sunday, also. I love cruising and try to go on one once a year. I’m 71 and feel very blessed!!!❤
Don't listen to people that say you are to old for that. Do what you want
I agree, Ma'am! Live your life for yourself NOT for others. I'm now 72 of age from South East Asia, MALAYSIA, (Penang Island). Take Care & enjoy your llife fully...
At 78 and pushing 79, I’ve been fortunate to remain mostly healthy. I am feeling my years but im still active and go dancing several times per week and walk often 3-5 or more miles. I do have some worries and concerns about things but I’m looking for solutions and implementing plans that even if a bit scary look like viable options to better my life. Yes, I could have done better in many ways but I’ve given up bad habits and slowly learned to be more patient and don’t allow the obstacles along the way to consume my spirit although it’s hard to not be affected. I’m a little scared but looking forward to my next journey.
Hey Mr. Buddha, I am 89 going on 90. . .why do you STOP at 80? What about us hardy, happy going on 90's? There are plenty of us , we totally fit your mold ,and we are wise with plenty to share!!!!!!!.

BRAVO, ❤my friend..
You're only 47 years old on Mars.
@joniwilsonthewinnersvoice Brawo, Bravo, Bravo and I agree with you .Those ,, Buddhist " are full of bullshit making Business of it and nothing else .Typical for Asian Countries..
I make jewelry I walk I collect rocks. I create things I’m 73. I stay away from people that have drama. I like to be calm. I’d like to be by myself most of the time.
I am 82 and have a 6 yr old beagle and a bird (conure) she talks to me! My beagle, Sadie keeps me going. Taking on her walks and play when she brings me her toys and drops them at my feet, who can resist playing. I still do my exercises and dancing of which I have done most of my life. I also make jewelry. I read, but not enough. I have tinnitis, which is at times debilitating, but forge on.
Keep at it🥰👍
We should meet some tyme
I can’t do much with exercise and long walks physically anymore, but I read, learn new things, play piano, and sing in my church choir. And I love all sciences and playing word games, and writing. And, I have a pet kitty whom I adore. ❤
I also love dogs and most other animals.❤
Yes, I love gardening, I sing in our church choir, I play the piano, walking with my dog( a German Shepherd). I love to look up to the sky.
Being 77, I wake up reading after doing my Buddhist prayers. Lots of hobbies, writing, sewing, watching good movies, encouraging others, etc. While being a people person, I enjoy solitude. I'm not on any crazy medications. I'm just glad to be alive.
Me too, well done you. ❤
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I AM 77 YEARS OLD. I HAVE STUDIED BUDDHA’s TEACHINGS FOR THE LAST 25 OR MORE YEARS. Hearing these words show me how these teachings which all resonate to me personally and have influenced my life deeply have kept me healthy and “sane” through many difficulties in my life. You encouraged me to keep on going the way I have been going. I hope younger people listen to your words too in order to benefit in the later years of life.
Younger People cannot hear words of wisdom ,because when you are young ,you don’t know you are ,when you get old ,you never thought you would be ,only other people gets old. And you know you are old .you have something to compare the old you ,to the younger you .says this 78 yr old woman,on no medications ,perfect health ,Made a Wooden box manually,to plant my garlic .love love ❤ keeps you young .I love Everything on this planet ,talk to my plants , love all creed of people ,as we are one ,split ,to many billions ,same spirit inside ,look at the blue sky ,read the clouds ,when good weather , spiritual through to my bone .I know there is Another spiritual life after Death ,I proof ,as i used to get ,messages ,personal ones that helped ..voice is neither male or female ,but i did hear many many times ,not so last 5 yrs .??? We are lucky indeed to be aware and humble enough to know we are all mortals,on a journey to improve our souls . Love to you ,Difficulties i know realise ,wers lessons ….stay well and take care as usual .. ❤
I’m 83 and workout on a walking and biking machines most every day. I listen to these Buddhist videos and meditate most days. I work on staying positive as much as possible. I go to ACA a 12 step meeting on dealing with childhood issues. A must! I try to think of God as much as I can and work on deep breathing. I get lowered feelings more than I would like. I spend a lot of time alone by choice because I believe solitary times are extremely important. I used to be a super busy person and really, what I was doing was trying to run from myself. I love gardening and have beautiful flowers and fruit trees and a vegetable garden. I am a work in progress.😊
Me too ❤
I am 71 and still enjoy learning and reading every day. I find learning is like peeling an onion, you something new everyday as you peel to the next layer.
I'm 70 soon. Still working as a security guard. Love every minute. Meet some awesome people.
…and arrest them !
Thank you for your unique and needed program for seniors and everyone no matter what your age. I am 79 and have had a clear work path all my life.. Because of my biology, landscape architecture and environmental degrees, I was fortunate to work with Buddhists in Singapore helping them create their Garden City in the 1970s. I continue this work in the home where I grew up in Silicon Valley. I will need many years to turn the tech world into an environmentally beautiful and sustainable world but little by little I see change! My business is called Secret Gardens named after the theme of the Secret Garden book… nature heals. Creating natural spaces for all life forms is a never ending source of joy for me. Therefore, I will need to live way past 100. God gives me the energy and creative ways to do this work and your program reminded me of this. Gratefully, Kathryn Mathewson
Respect
Now, I am 71.5 yrs old, keep myself busy in gardening, karaoke singing , pottery articals, and talking with good old friends over fone, traveling, drawing n attending possibly all holy & other functions, driving 2 & 4 wheeler etc etc, thanks to God almighty 🙏 🙏 🙏
I am 73 and still working as a hair stylist working 3-4 days a week ..for 45 years now ..I cook for myself and eating a very healthy diet .. I exercise at home every morning for up to 45 min..I want to take violin lessons ..and get to my painting again ..I have 2 smaller older dogs who are a joy and much company..I go to music venues and enjoy dancing ..I had knee replacement went I was 68 ..best thing I could have done with myself .. I moved to Florida from a cold winter state when I was 63 and it has been wonderful for me to be able to do activities all year round rather than to be shut in a house in the winter months that was truly a blessing for me. I pray I listen to God, and pray for his continued healing, prosperity and able to take care of myself and a good life the spirit.. you’re right just a number… My son thinks I should be in a rocking chair and I think I should be rocking to music!
I'll be 84 in October and I could see myself in many of the Things pointed out and it gave a Peace of Mind. Thanks, CES
I’m 71 and love living in my own home. It makes me feel independent even though I need some help around the house. I have health issues and have had issues since I was in my late thirties. I read, keep up with politics, I learn from the internet, and love to listen to all kinds of music. I play scrabble on an app with many people. The only thing I miss are my children. I lost one 8 years ago and it was very hard to go through, but now I know he’s watching over me. My other 2 children and grandchildren have their own lives and that’s okay. I am alone but not always lonely. I meditate and I am living in the present moment. I have 2 cats that I adore and love how they also live in the present moment. I’ve taken that lesson from them. I am happy.
I am 84. I try to keep up with the political problems in this dificult time for the world . Also I like to paint. Starting to learn about Budism was a recent venture and I am enjoying your programs. Thankyou.
Im81,I do gardening,mow my lawn,stilldrive,go shopping n I have 4 cats n I feed stray cats n their cute kittens which make me smile .
@arsyscats Me too, cats bring so much love and joy into our lives, they’re work if you really give them care, but they’re worth it. I also love my gardening and also have done landscaping, very hard work. 🙏
79 yr old here.PMA to the max.keep smiling keep active.
I appreciate your advice . Reducing stress, daily exercise , healthy diet and social life are all we need for long healthy life , as you mentioned. I am a medical doctor ( psychiatrist ) and understand and appreciate each and every word in your video. I help my family and friends with good advice and sometimes financial assistance. It makes me feel better helping others .
I enjoyed your video. May God bless for blessing others. 🙏

That is awesome!
Each day I try to focus on my guides toward enlightenment: Compassion, kindness, and generosity.
Very informative recommendations for elderly. I just stepped into 80. Fortunately i am a meditator for the past 45 years. Twice a day - regular. Took up walking and doing exercise recently. Vegetarian. Cook my own food. Refrain from eating outside. Reading and listening to religious related material. Only networking is visting Temples and interacting with devotees. Following Srimad Bagavad Gita teachings. Recently celebrated 50 years of married life with my wife, daughter, son in law, grand daughter and great grand daughter. God is very kind. Blessings of elderly people like you. Regards.

I’m 82. I crochet, knit, and oil paint.
I’m 77, I fish, travel, knit, I haven’t crocheted anything for years or bordered, but I still have my supplies. I paint, and I build things. After, my trip to Sweden in the spring of 2025. I have plans on having my chickens again, and maybe take a pigeons. I will wait until the time comes. I look ahead as far as I can, but I do not dwell there. This is because there’s no guarantees. So I spend the time, unless it’s recreational in the mind, and tomorrow. I have profit from my life, unfortunately, not in my pocketbook, but I’m happy…. no… Not happy I am very content.

I live in the place Debarmaalo in Skopje !
It used to be a district with small houses and gardens , but now is
full with buildings not higher than 5 floors !
Beautiful Park is near and river Vardar !
You cannot emagine that there is such a beautiful park in the World !
And from the other side is boulevard Partizanska !
I like to be dressed well and at night going for walk , we call it korzo ( promenade ) among young people mostly in the street which is called
" Bohemian street "
The market is near and all day long you can see me siting on the bench coupling with different kind of people .
I am visiting three Pensioner's clubs , playing kart and singing quietly with friends !
Still fully engaged; Meditation; Exercise; good diet. Interests; reading; science; new physics; internet; old movies; documentaries. Plus: Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime and departing leave our footprints on the sands of time.
I am 90 plus, still learning a new language, sewing and crocheting, watching old and new movies, driving and taking care of my business as long as God let’s me
Thank you I am now in my 74 yrs in life. Still kicking cooking, : garden plants management and home appliances enjoy repairing. God knows simplicity is better in contentment. ❤💙💞💫
I am almost 77. Had colon cancer two years before and now everything clear after treatment. Everyday I swim 500-600 meters with some friends. Leading a normal life. Thanks. 🙏
If you ever listen to anything while reading comments, let it be this - go to borlest and read the book whispers of manifestation, then come back and thank me

It sounds like senility
No - I am not putting down my Batman comic book. 😮

From Christianity I have learned that hate towards the ones you love most is natural. And without this hate, not chronic though, you will never be really free. It has helped me to understand my children and my self. Yes. Sometimes our children hate us, and don't want to see us. Then I think it can be wise, to feel within yourself, who you like to be. Still their mother, even if they have a problem with you, remembering them in birthdays, Christmas with a little gift, if you can, sometimes a sms, an encouraging, nice message. That is all.
If your child answer it is not the goal. It is up to her. The goal in this case is you. You will strengthen yourself in the role of parent. And that will never be wrong, but good for everybody. All the best to everybody.
I disagree my dear…….if you hate anyone it is a sure way to feel really down. I don’t hate anyone….try a little love
@@janetchisholm7020 Well it depends how You define hate. I think that every feeling is important. Hate is a feeling. You have to understand them all, respect them, not be a slave to them. Not be afraid of them, Not avoid them. Even your hate can be good and useful.
@@ann-christinkristiansson8948I totally agree, hate we were told was a grievous sin. However if we never allow ourselves to experience the harmful effect of hate we will never grow nor learn to forgive self. One cannot forgive another without first forgiving self. Tis human to err but divine to forgive, my mothers gem. I've learned to love myself more sincerely via the gift to first forgive another whom is actually a gift towards my own self actualisation. Thank you for sharing.

Only be 88 in August but Bowl twice a week, play pool 3 mornings with my younger friends, pursue scientific knowledge on my iPad and enjoy life with my 10 years younger wife. I’m amazed how fragile many of my younger friends are. Maybe they don’t have a wife who watches what they eat. Never did like nor consume alcohol. Do like black coffee. After last year’s cataract surgery can see great.

I like reading books sketching waking taking pictures of cloud formations. Listening to music and dancing

You can wither away from anger and resentment. We see it everywhere. Wise up people, live the rest of your life in peace and harmony. No one is always right. We all make mistakes. Learn to forgive and move on. That is my philosophy now as a senior. It was not that way in my youth, but we live and learn that there is no “perfect one” here on the Planet Earth. Be thankful and grateful for life at this age and if you can’t do anything else, you can be kind to others.
Teach me to be a bright and more loving light house. Kindness. Giving me my purpose. Point me
In the direction that will impact this world in a amazing way. ❤🙏🙌🙃
I am indeed a rare gem at age 74! Positive mindset conquers all.

I am 71 y.o. I trust my life in the OMNIPOTENT who owns it. To stay longer, I am avoiding activities that is detrimental to my health. I used to drink wines. I used to stay late. I am easily provoke and I worry much about life. Now, I quit wines. I sleep early and longer hours. I do not buy any provocation that will raise up my heart's palpitation. And above all, I worship God from the rising of the sun to the going down. I have no FEAR of going anytime because to die is to rest as Rizal said in his MI ULTIMO ADIOS!!!! MORRIR A DESCANSAR
It has been my habit not to stack/keep money. If I have, it will be released immediately for the LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOTS OF ALL EVILS.

I am 69 years old but still strong and quick. I had been farming alone for three years planting my own food and raising my own animals (for consumption. I have raised my children very good that they all became successful on their own endeavour. I am the founder of Dynamic Lifestyle of Shorin-Ryu Inc. here in Canada and also the Dynamic Circle of Shorin-Ryu which started since 1985. My secret in life is resilience, patience, and self-discipline which came from the okinawan culture of karate.
