Biggest takeaway for me (aside from what I already know) is that you don’t have to be afraid of love not working out because hard times come and go and doors open and doors close. Everyone learns about love at their own rate I guess
Im so surprised with 6 children she lived that long ... each causes so much stress i would have thought? Goes to show its all random... theres never a formula like humans like to believe.
Gold!!! took me years to get that. Didnt like being away from work until I realised nobody cared and if I fall sick and cant work, I will be replaced. Now, if someone asks me to do something and I have scheduled a rest, I say am busy or am booked.
This is the God's word, Deuteronomy 5: 12-15: "Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou. And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God brought thee out thence by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day." (ASV) You ain't just doing something. You're following the God's commandment. Genesis 2: 1-3: "And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made." (ASV) The rest is blessed by the God. The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why deception and violence are everywhere. This is the reason why liers and murderers feel good while righteous persons are persecuted. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our loved ones again! :-)
In Africa, people don't get surprised at the age 100+(as you always meet them). But it always astonishes me. Greetings from Ghana ( your african colleague TH-camr )
Absolutely. I HIGHLY recommend making sure you get to know, really know, as much and as many family members of theirs that you can. It's super telling and like I tell my children - these people will also be in your life for a very long time, make sure you can stomach the people with their thoughts and ideas and behaviors that will be around not only you but your children as well.
I agree with this. I became a widow when I was 62 and decided to move back to Australia to be with my granddaughter and daughter. I was grieving but caring for my 3 year old granddaughter gave me a purpose in life and I felt freedom to live my life as I wished. In 2012 I met a man online, and we have been partners in life and love since. We dont live together but spend several days per week together. We have a loving and supportive relationships. Today we sat in the park, enjoying the sunshine and the trees around us, there was even a new Gymea flowering which we’ll watch its’ progress over the year. I think that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is very important, keep moving and eat well. I still cook and exercise 3 x times weekly at the gym . wth kettlebells. AT 82 I feel contented with my life - as the motto goes: “Have someone to love, someone who loves you, something to do every day or be responsible for and take care of yourself.”. Greetings from Australia
What I love about her attitude is she is so grateful for everything; that part where she says she doesn't have a favourite food but is just grateful to have food; is truly humbling.
The irony is that she mentions times of no food, and now we know fasting is strongly correlated to longevity, she probably went days, maybe weeks, without food, and therefore triggered the mechanism that promotes longevity
That last line is everything...."I don't have much, you know here, but I've got the whole world." If people would internalize even a small bit of that mindset, then they would be so much happier. That sets you on a path filled with gratitude, and it will change your life. The wisdom is staggering.
Yes.indeed, gratitude is something we should have every day. Be grateful for what you have, be grateful that you are alive, be grateful for simplest things.
I was married 42 years!! Lots of unfaithfulness. The Truth set me Free! Thank you Lord!! I cared for a precious lady from 101-103. Loved it. I have 27 years to catch up with her! 🥰
I didn’t get married and I’m not planning for marriage this lifetime …. But I know my husband would respect this for me to …. Marriage isn’t for me … commitments … having children … In a world where everything corrupted … I know my happiness won’t be in these things at all … There no point lying and pretending…. How many people get married and wish they never was ( majority) In the Hindu tradition were a magalsutra and sindoor is so holy sign that a women is married …. No one wear it anymore in this century… Who are we kidding to just pretend …. Because everyone done it and I should to ( no I m not interested and I hope who ever had my destiny destined for … respects that marriage and kids this lifetime is not for me at all ) I like my alone time …. I like my freedom… let me be universe Maybe in the next few lifetime if I come back and we’re in the golden ages of real love … then perhaps But not this lifetime… it’s really not for me at all 🙂
Wow, this made me teary-eyed. "When you take a rest, you're not being lazy. You're doing something. You're actually taking a rest." As one who used to get yelled at if I ever took a nap and was called lazy if I wasn't constantly doing something, I still get anxious if I think about a nap and feel like I should be doing something "productive" instead. But her simple little words just set me free. Thank you.
❤ my heart goes out to you. I hope that your body, your breath, your cells learn that you are ok when resting. That you are safe. That you are still a precious, valuable, lovable person when resting. It may take time and encouragement, like positive self-talk, making it extra cosy maybe with a certain scent or music or a candle, but I really hope for you that you find that peace and take it back. It was taken from you, take it back 🙏 have a good day
@@voyance4elle Thank you for your sweet words. I'm learning to find rest in the presence of God. The world is full of brokenness and sometimes it takes much of our lives learning how to undo the damage, but it's encouraging to know we're not alone. May God bless you as you have blessed me
I need that to sink in for me because I do feel guilty when I'm exhausted at 69 and I'm thinking of taking a rest from constantly doing things around the house, like cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.
I WAS married to a man that would say to me if I rested “ are you sick “ and tell people we were around “ who her she’ll be in bed by 7 pm. I was exhausted trying to raise 2 children ,1 with special needs. Working full time. Trying to blend in a new marriage while dealing with my X husband. This marriage lasted 3 years. I just wanted to take the kids and go home and I did.
Her "Memory Lane" is filled with precious people, places, and things that no one "can ever take away" from her. We all need that special place to travel in our hearts.
l am 78 & my husband passed out his body 6 years ago. I miss him but l don't grieve. Just the world of trees & flowers is lovely. Keeping that sense of awe & gratitude is key.😊
I have a question that I've been wondering for years. In these past 6 years without your husband, do you feel as if you have more time though your day to work on thing for you? Do it feel the same as when women get divorced? Although I know it's different because he didn't hurt you or leave you intentionally. But the time spent being a wife I heard is not the same when you're single. In your situation it's different of course but do you feel more alive and free??? Thank you in advance if you can answer my question. I really appreciate it.
Inspiring. We can cultivate that, too. This is sometimes said to be a bad part of aging, that we get lost in our memories, but if we can do that, we have a place to go that nourishes us. We can remember better with practice. I also read that if we have music we love to listen to, it can energize us and improve our memory.
I found this page without searching for it but it’s exactly what I was needing to see. I’m 44 & I’ve taken an unrighteousness beating from life and today is one horrific day. It always helps me to hear from someone experienced in suffering, as I’m just fighting to find the silver lining. I want to thank Gladys because what I’ve taken from her conversation is that there might be another side to this awful life for me. I struggle with the waiting. It’s been 20 years of abject cruelty & neglect & I’m now disabled & can see no way out. I have no real family or friends. There’s just me trying to make a way out of no way. Gladys is a beautiful soul who, in this moment of sorrow, is inspiring me to just hold on. I don’t know what’s coming…if it’ll be better or worse…but tonight, I’m trying not to give up in case tomorrow holds some hope I can’t see yet. So, Gladys, THANK YOU so very much! ❤❤❤
Keep going follow the light seriously I know what Gladys means I'm 63 and everything comes right when you are positive a good saying what's thealternativex
I want you to know that I’m 🙏 for you and I hope find hope and happiness. A little advice if I may…you’re 44 years young and as long as you’re alive you have a chance to find a way to be happy. I hope to hear that you are 💙
I love her mind at 103! She reminds me of my Grandma who died at 100 and who never got her drivers license so she walked her whole life and never took pills, she said they made her sick. She was independent until 2 weeks before her death. ❤
I am 72, alone and struggle with many medical conditions for over 30 years. It gets me down. Dear lady you have inspired me so. I will start placing things in memory lane. That is a good one. I have been without food three times in my life so even making a tuna fish sandwich brings me joy. I appreciate your advice and look forward to another 20 years. LD
What a beautiful person! She’s a gift to those she touches. God bless her. I’m 52 and this interview reminds me to appreciate everything I have. Thanks for sharing.
Mental health is important… of u don’t take care of it … no1 will do it for you …. Health indeed is wealth …. Without health u cannot thrive at ur best ❤
She's an absolute joy & I love her wit, wisdom, humor, empathy & her sense of fulfillment. She's a blessing to hear & see. Thank you for this, it is truly inspirational & needed. God Bless her✝️🙏🏼
She’s soooo sharp! My goodness. Her pace of speech, her clarity, her mental processing power is just amazing. My goal is to live to 100 and I want to be like her with her level of health and mental clarity and strength when I get there.
Being in my late 20s and always anxious and frustrated, I find this video to be a goldmine. No doubt life is tough but having the willpower and purpose can help overcome any obstacles.
I respect this woman very much. The tears that stream from her eyes when she talks about the story of her divorce, is embodied in her character as a great woman.
She is so wise; look for the light instead of the dark! That’s exactly it in a nutshell. Second love; the love for oneself and others.. Laughter is so important and share… We forget as we get older to laugh, to be a child and laugh as a child…!
She reminds me of my great-aunt, who lived to 104. Another amazing woman with an amazing mind and attitude towards life. She didn't get to study past middle school but if she had been given the opportunity, I wonder how much more impact she would have had. She volunteered at a children's hospital, she had her own small business for a while, and she could crochet like no one. She crocheted my son's baby blanket when she was 99. Tía Chela, you would have been 110 this year. We miss you!
“ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HAD A NEW IDENTITY “ THE BEST THING THAT I HEARD ! HONESTLY ITS NOT WHAT HAPPENS TO US , ITS WHAT WE DO WITH IT !!! AMAZING SOUL SHE IS ! BLESS HER 💜🙏
Dr. Gladys said it best during the interview: contentment. It's about contentment. Yes, we have our ups and downs, but you MUST find the light and within it, contentment. That is the key to peace and longevity. 💜💫
I came across your channel through this video-case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.
You're correct. I think the smartest way to go is to spread out your investments. By putting your money into different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and stocks from other countries, you can lower the risk if one part of the market goes bad.
That sounds like a good plan. In the past two years, working closely with a financial market specialist, I've built a six-figure diversified stock portfolio. Now, I aim to diversify even more this year.
Talking about a financial market specialist, do you consider anyone worthy of recommendations? I have about 100k to test the waters now that large cap stocks are at a discount... Thanks
My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..
"Don't lose the light. Follow the light. And love is always the great teacher. So look for it. The hard times come, but they go too." - Thank you, Dr. Gladys. I think I really needed to hear that, and remember life is not a downhill slope forever, but it is made of ups and downs, stops and gos.
Probably reason why many people clicked on the link... it's still a nice video. Being careful in who you marry is good advice, despite her not mentioning it.
I needed to hear what she has to say. My partner of 13 years just left me and it is so hard to recreate myself and my new narrative in life without her. But listening to those who have lived have helped me deeply. Thank you.
So much respect to this awesome lady for giving wonderful advice on how to live and love. At 103 years old, she is amazing and her children are lucky for having such a smart and lovely mom. Her heart twinkles even if she has wrinkles ❤
Her husband wanted a divorce after 46 years and 6 children!? Now that is just silly. Definitely his loss. Well, she’s still here enjoying life. ❤ Miss Gladys is a sweetheart.
Hmmm I didn't see it that way at all. She wrote him a letter a year and thanked him, clearly she has found the value in finding her self. He obviously was not happy after 46 years of marriage and had the strength to pivot in his seventies to find that happiness, they seem to be both where they want to be, we only have 1 shot at this thing called life. the pursuit of happiness is your responsibility to yourself, try not to leave this world...wisha coulda woulda
Wonder too if her ex is still around... the divorce may have contributed to her long, deep and meaningful life... very inspirational lady... we can learn a lot from the wise lady ❤
She probably was a bad wife... the average man just don't leave his wife unless it's something drastic. Everybody had their story. She's older and wiser now.. so she talks a good game.
Just amazing lady! Gives us all hope. To think I sit and worry about getting older every year and this amazing woman at over a hundred years old is so grateful and full of light and love, makes me feel there is still time to do the things I need to do.
This woman was endowed with a high quality genetic disposition. She inherited longevity because everything in her body works efficiently, her mind, definitely her gut and her spirit. She just banked on it and enjoyed it. She seems like a very nice person so I’m happy for her.
Nothing is 100% inherited, life style matters A LOT. It has been proven that your level of physical activity, what you eat, fasting, etc. influence (changes) your gene expression. You can reprogram your genes
A wonderful lady, Dr Gladys. My husband divorced me after 30 years of marriage. I can relate. I found renewed meaningful work and it is still carrying me through. Very satisfying especially in retirement. What retirement! Dr Gladys does not talk about her faith. If she were a Christian, she would. That is a concern. Where will she spend eternity? With God or without God. We are eternal beings. Without God is called hell. With God, she needs an entrance ticket. His name is Jesus. No one is perfect. We all sinned. Jesus paid the penalty for our sins. Is there any other religious leader that did that? Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by him. A quote from the Bible. I will pray for Dr Gladys.
Example of being able to live with family support. Without her son, John, then unlikely she'd still be doing this well. Guessing her son is pretty old too. Good thing she has her mind so sharp. That's a true blessing.
My grandmother will be 103 October 2024. She is such a beautiful woman. You are 1 of a special group of people that are blessed to live into your 100s.
Don't just live with gratitude everyday but feel a sense of awe over something everyday. For this beautiful lady, just waking up each day leaves her in awe.
Yooo ...the way she responds to questions at her age is amazing...this lady doesn't dwell on worries even though hard times come ...she taught her self to let go and always sees light
We need our old people like this to give us wisdom, encourage us, give hope for the future and just pure joy to share time with. Thank you, a wonderful interview.
Wow.. thanks TH-cam algorithm for recommending this video randomly. Lately I am “closing the door” for some reasons, but this interview reminded me of my belief “no matter what happens this world is wonderful” and opened my heart to this world again. I guess this video is what I need to/should watch at this moment. One of the greatest video and thank you for an amazing interview!
She is my inspiration. I'm 63 and have set a goal to try to live to 100. People always say... Why? Think about how OLD you will feel, you will probably be sick and helpless. Well maybe? but maybe not. Look at Dr. Gladys. I think setting goals mentally and physically, keeping mentally and physically active and having that wonderful positive attitude that life is amazing is what will keep a person going.
Beautiful Lady. The best advice I ever heard " l don't have a favorite food, l'm just happy l have food to eat " 🙏🏼❤️is always to be thankful for everything we have!❤️
Oh my. This lady is going to make me cry. Her wisdom is endless. I really felt the part about looking for the light till you find it. It’s so true! Never give up, even in your darkest times. The strength you lend others will come back to you.
Dr Gladys, you are amazing ! My parents were your brother, Carl’s students in India, at Christian Medical College Ludhiana. Dr Carl Taylor was my father’s hero. He set up a rural medical centre in Narangwal village in Punjab and my parents were in the batch of 1953 MBBS course. I am their eldest daughter. I am enriched by hearing you talk on TH-cam. God bless you, stay happy and healthy and involved. You’re beautiful. Sheena.
I hope as I keep growing up I become closer and closer to being the way Dr. Gladys lives her life. Full of life, honesty, humility, humor and love. Keep moving- one of her many simple yet profound statements in this short video. I loved it. Good questions you asked too.
Dr. Gladys interview was so inspiring and by far the best I've ever heard. She needs her own podcast to share w the world her knowledge and love of life.❤
Interesting perspective. After seventy plus years and having lost two wives to disease, I consistently ask myself why, of all people, am i still here? What Gladys said to me is "I am not thinking about my life correctly." As a septuagenarian I can continue on without fear, or blame, revel in the shared memories of my life and of those who I shared the experience, and as Gladys advises spread that light we find on our individual paths. I was especially moved by the challenges she meet by being unafraid. World War Two she said had considerable bad news for everyone. She learned she was not alone and was able to deal with the fear in that knowledge. We are all afraid at certain points in time. Gladys's fear of hunger resonated with me the most. If you are hungry, though no fault of your own, you just keep looking for the "light." That may sound a bit non-specific, but I understood what she was trying to say. We are not hungry alone. We learn to share and make the best of our common experience. There were other nuggets of advice I took from Gladys's perspective, so I saved a copy of this video to reference from time to time. I am not confident my life would last anywhere near one hundred years and that is not my goal. All I ask is to depart this world with the peace of mind that my life was worth the journey and somewhere, I was able benefit my fellow travelers with what I had learned.
Her inner strength has kept her.What a beautiful soul with great wisdom.The hand of God has definitely been upon her and her children.Thank you very much for inspiring me this morning while drinking my hot hibiscus tea.May you continue to enjoy the light Dr Gladys and for the person that made this video thank you very much.Greetings from Jos ,Plateau state,Nigeria.
G-d loves this beautiful and radiant lady; so full of grace and wisdom. She is in good health, have great mental fortitude, and what a gift of gratefulness and optimism. Thank you.
Sprouht, you looked shocked that Gladys' husband found new love at 70. My mother got married again at 79! They were both widowed, had known each other for 25 years😅 but were married to others. They were adorable and so happy together! I see many who don't want another relationship. There are still people that do. And when it's unexpected, it's like one of those pleasant surprises in life that just happen. In one of your interviews, a woman said, and I'm paraphrasing, don't pay attention to lifes expiration date! I love that! The above is a great example. Love your vids. Always thought-provoking 👍💞
I took it that he was more surprised that he left her at that age . That he gave her up to find someone else at that point in their lives together. That’s what I got from it. I could be wrong. But yes, I do believe you can find love at any age. I just don’t think that’s what he was really surprised about.
I was just as incredulous that a man of that age would throw away stable family life for some other rando. It's one thing if you feel that life would be better alone but to leave behind stability to start over with someone else is a young fool's game...
Thanks for bringing her to us, Will. She's a legend in her own time, and I love the classy way she handled the divorce. Also sending you some ❤for the work that you're doing. It's TH-cam at its best: original and top quality. You're asking the questions we all want answers to.
Awww my great grandfather passed away at 104 but I was too young to ask him questions about life. This lady is lovely, absolutely lovely and so so happy I got to watch this video
My Great Aunt died not so long ago and she would've been 103 this in December. She lived through so much in her life, though her smile would light up a room. Her laughter would fill a room. She never complained and loved all of us so much. She was always hopeful.

No stress ? Her husband divorced her at age 70. And she worked as a doctor for many decades, up to her nineties.

The person you choose to marry will affect your mental, emotional, and physical health. Choose wisely.
Absolutely. I HIGHLY recommend making sure you get to know, really know, as much and as many family members of theirs that you can. It's super telling and like I tell my children - these people will also be in your life for a very long time, make sure you can stomach the people with their thoughts and ideas and behaviors that will be around not only you but your children as well.

Best interview from the whole internet, in my opinion.
103 years of life experience
She’s talking abt the notorious dementious Cackling Lady. Waahahaha hwaaa.
Beautiful
Rest in Peace, Gladys! Glad you were able to get an inspirational interview with her right before she passed away.
What I love about her attitude is she is so grateful for everything; that part where she says she doesn't have a favourite food but is just grateful to have food; is truly humbling.
Wise lessons to retain
That comment hit me hard too.. seeing as she has gone through a couple of wars I can only imagine what she's been through and is so humble
Yes coming from a spoiled foodie I found that interesting
The irony is that she mentions times of no food, and now we know fasting is strongly correlated to longevity, she probably went days, maybe weeks, without food, and therefore triggered the mechanism that promotes longevity
That also hit me deep. Like wow!
She said I don’t have a favorite food…I’m just happy I have food to eat.
Now that’s gratitude🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾
She’s very reasonable!

Great reflection
I agree. There's something to be said for keeping an open mind and appreciating the small things in life.
Yes.indeed, gratitude is something we should have every day. Be grateful for what you have, be grateful that you are alive, be grateful for simplest things.
Own little, enjoy much.

Glory to God!
Please cherish her❤ lost my grandmother last year
She wrote her husband a letter, "Thank you for my freedom." Wow! This was when she began to heal from the divorce, I suppose. I'm taking that line.
Yes- getting out of a bad relationship is this- freedom. Especially if you stayed too long.
I was married 42 years!! Lots of unfaithfulness. The Truth set me Free! Thank you Lord!! I cared for a precious lady from 101-103. Loved it. I have 27 years to catch up with her! 🥰
I didn’t get married and I’m not planning for marriage this lifetime …. But I know my husband would respect this for me to …. Marriage isn’t for me … commitments … having children …
In a world where everything corrupted … I know my happiness won’t be in these things at all …
There no point lying and pretending…. How many people get married and wish they never was ( majority)
In the Hindu tradition were a magalsutra and sindoor is so holy sign that a women is married …. No one wear it anymore in this century…
Who are we kidding to just pretend …. Because everyone done it and I should to
( no I m not interested and I hope who ever had my destiny destined for … respects that marriage and kids this lifetime is not for me at all )
I like my alone time …. I like my freedom… let me be universe
Maybe in the next few lifetime if I come back and we’re in the golden ages of real love … then perhaps
But not this lifetime… it’s really not for me at all 🙂
I told him, I can not even be envious of your next lady. I'm sincerely sorry for what she will go through and what the previous ones went through 😅
@@Sack-o5qwho said it was bad?
"Listening without love is empty sound." ❤ That’s the one.
This is gold. She is an absolute gem of a human.
She said something like, bad times come but they also go. Love her.
"Look for the light, look for hope!" She is 103 and she is the light! I love her♥️
I learned that: It is not a lack of time, it is a lack of priority. Her mind is sharp!
Wow, this made me teary-eyed. "When you take a rest, you're not being lazy. You're doing something. You're actually taking a rest."
As one who used to get yelled at if I ever took a nap and was called lazy if I wasn't constantly doing something, I still get anxious if I think about a nap and feel like I should be doing something "productive" instead. But her simple little words just set me free. Thank you.
❤ my heart goes out to you. I hope that your body, your breath, your cells learn that you are ok when resting. That you are safe. That you are still a precious, valuable, lovable person when resting. It may take time and encouragement, like positive self-talk, making it extra cosy maybe with a certain scent or music or a candle, but I really hope for you that you find that peace and take it back. It was taken from you, take it back 🙏 have a good day
@@voyance4elle Thank you for your sweet words. I'm learning to find rest in the presence of God. The world is full of brokenness and sometimes it takes much of our lives learning how to undo the damage, but it's encouraging to know we're not alone. May God bless you as you have blessed me
I need that to sink in for me because I do feel guilty when I'm exhausted at 69 and I'm thinking of taking a rest from constantly doing things around the house, like cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.
I WAS married to a man that would say to me if I rested “ are you sick “ and tell people we were around “ who her she’ll be in bed by 7 pm. I was exhausted trying to raise 2 children ,1 with special needs. Working full time. Trying to blend in a new marriage while dealing with my X husband. This marriage lasted 3 years. I just wanted to take the kids and go home and I did.
@@deborahmontano6848 Sending you a hug in spirit. You've worked hard physically and emotionally and deserve to rest.
2:31 Look for the light in the darkest hours… her wisdom brought tear to my eyes.
me too
This actually crazy … to be able to speak and express herself that way at 103 what?! That’s amazing and it’s a real richness.
Her "Memory Lane" is filled with precious people, places, and things that no one "can ever take away" from her. We all need that special place to travel in our hearts.
true ♥
And she can go there whenever she wants to😪. Loved that and will start thinking that way too!!❤
The golden rule is to be grateful and positive.
Treat everyone the way you want to be treated.
She looks SO GOOD in appearance and alertness! More people like her 🙌
Her mental acuity is really amazing.
Amazingly sharp and positive beautiful soul ❤️❤️❤️❤️🦋🦋

The 6th L is Light 🕯️
the ANSWER is JESUS, not the LIFE ADVICE SHE gave
This wise old lady has given me the inspiration I needed. God bless her and keep her alive for as many years as possible.
l am 78 & my husband passed out his body 6 years ago. I miss him but l don't grieve. Just the world of trees & flowers is lovely. Keeping that sense of awe & gratitude is key.😊
Beautiful attitude!
@99I’m. O8!,
Thank you!
❤️❤️❤️
I have a question that I've been wondering for years. In these past 6 years without your husband, do you feel as if you have more time though your day to work on thing for you? Do it feel the same as when women get divorced? Although I know it's different because he didn't hurt you or leave you intentionally. But the time spent being a wife I heard is not the same when you're single. In your situation it's different of course but do you feel more alive and free??? Thank you in advance if you can answer my question. I really appreciate it.
'I have a place called Memory Lane that I can visit'
Such a joyful, inspiring lady!! May we all share joy, light, love and laughter!
Inspiring. We can cultivate that, too. This is sometimes said to be a bad part of aging, that we get lost in our memories, but if we can do that, we have a place to go that nourishes us. We can remember better with practice. I also read that if we have music we love to listen to, it can energize us and improve our memory.
I found this page without searching for it but it’s exactly what I was needing to see. I’m 44 & I’ve taken an unrighteousness beating from life and today is one horrific day. It always helps me to hear from someone experienced in suffering, as I’m just fighting to find the silver lining. I want to thank Gladys because what I’ve taken from her conversation is that there might be another side to this awful life for me. I struggle with the waiting. It’s been 20 years of abject cruelty & neglect & I’m now disabled & can see no way out. I have no real family or friends. There’s just me trying to make a way out of no way. Gladys is a beautiful soul who, in this moment of sorrow, is inspiring me to just hold on.
I don’t know what’s coming…if it’ll be better or worse…but tonight, I’m trying not to give up in case tomorrow holds some hope I can’t see yet. So, Gladys, THANK YOU so very much! ❤❤❤
❤
Will be praying for you 🙏💞🙏
Keep going follow the light seriously I know what Gladys means I'm 63 and everything comes right when you are positive a good saying what's thealternativex
I want you to know that I’m 🙏 for you and I hope find hope and happiness. A little advice if I may…you’re 44 years young and as long as you’re alive you have a chance to find a way to be happy. I hope to hear that you are 💙
Don't give up by Kate bush also follow the light
I love her mind at 103! She reminds me of my Grandma who died at 100 and who never got her drivers license so she walked her whole life and never took pills, she said they made her sick. She was independent until 2 weeks before her death. ❤
love it. What an inspiration 🎉
Mine also died at 100. Rare so see nowadays
I am 72, alone and struggle with many medical conditions for over 30 years. It gets me down. Dear lady you have inspired me so. I will start placing things in memory lane. That is a good one. I have been without food three times in my life so even making a tuna fish sandwich brings me joy. I appreciate your advice and look forward to another 20 years. LD
I am in my 50’s and have to say Dr. Gladys definitely speaks volumes with her words of wisdom. One of the best interviews I have ever watched.
"Love is always the great teacher." Great advice from this queen throughout. May she celebrate many more years and all with a healthy mind.
"LOOK FOR THE LIGHT!"👏 How you see things will determine A LOT how your life will be...
"There's always light if you look for it" ❤! I love this.
What a beautiful person! She’s a gift to those she touches. God bless her. I’m 52 and this interview reminds me to appreciate everything I have. Thanks for sharing.
Her contentment, gratitude, and her willingness to look for the good in life is really powerful.
Your HEALTH is your WEALTH.
Mental health is important… of u don’t take care of it … no1 will do it for you ….
Health indeed is wealth …. Without health u cannot thrive at ur best ❤
Amen
Amen
Yes, lets stop eating trash and drink water 😅
That's what my grandma told me too ❤
She's an absolute joy & I love her wit, wisdom, humor, empathy & her sense of fulfillment. She's a blessing to hear & see. Thank you for this, it is truly inspirational & needed. God Bless her✝️🙏🏼
She’s soooo sharp! My goodness. Her pace of speech, her clarity, her mental processing power is just amazing. My goal is to live to 100 and I want to be like her with her level of health and mental clarity and strength when I get there.
Being in my late 20s and always anxious and frustrated, I find this video to be a goldmine. No doubt life is tough but having the willpower and purpose can help overcome any obstacles.
and rest... don't forget to rest
I respect this woman very much. The tears that stream from her eyes when she talks about the story of her divorce, is embodied in her character as a great woman.
She is so wise; look for the light instead of the dark! That’s exactly it in a nutshell. Second love; the love for oneself and others..
Laughter is so important and share…
We forget as we get older to laugh, to be a child and laugh as a child…!
She reminds me of my great-aunt, who lived to 104. Another amazing woman with an amazing mind and attitude towards life. She didn't get to study past middle school but if she had been given the opportunity, I wonder how much more impact she would have had. She volunteered at a children's hospital, she had her own small business for a while, and she could crochet like no one. She crocheted my son's baby blanket when she was 99. Tía Chela, you would have been 110 this year. We miss you!
YES. It matters IMMENSELY who you marry/ have children with. Dont rush it and be very very careful. At 62 I would have told my younger self this.
Me tooooo
“ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HAD A NEW IDENTITY “ THE BEST THING THAT I HEARD ! HONESTLY ITS NOT WHAT HAPPENS TO US , ITS WHAT WE DO WITH IT !!! AMAZING SOUL SHE IS ! BLESS HER 💜🙏
Dr. Gladys said it best during the interview: contentment. It's about contentment. Yes, we have our ups and downs, but you MUST find the light and within it, contentment. That is the key to peace and longevity. 💜💫
I came across your channel through this video-case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.
You're correct. I think the smartest way to go is to spread out your investments. By putting your money into different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and stocks from other countries, you can lower the risk if one part of the market goes bad.
That sounds like a good plan. In the past two years, working closely with a financial market specialist, I've built a six-figure diversified stock portfolio. Now, I aim to diversify even more this year.
Talking about a financial market specialist, do you consider anyone worthy of recommendations? I have about 100k to test the waters now that large cap stocks are at a discount... Thanks
My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..
Thank you for this Pointer. It was easy to find your handler, She seems very proficient and flexible. I booked a call session with her.
"Don't lose the light. Follow the light. And love is always the great teacher. So look for it. The hard times come, but they go too." - Thank you, Dr. Gladys. I think I really needed to hear that, and remember life is not a downhill slope forever, but it is made of ups and downs, stops and gos.
You're right
She never said, "Be careful who you marry." It is odd that they put that quote in the thumbnail. It's a lie if it wasn't said.
Probably reason why many people clicked on the link... it's still a nice video. Being careful in who you marry is good advice, despite her not mentioning it.
He does that all the time …
Honestly
Hey yeah. Lol.
Wow, I totally forgot about that part and that's exactly why I clicked on the video. I seriously hate when they do that.
I needed to hear what she has to say. My partner of 13 years just left me and it is so hard to recreate myself and my new narrative in life without her. But listening to those who have lived have helped me deeply. Thank you.
So much respect to this awesome lady for giving wonderful advice on how to live and love. At 103 years old, she is amazing and her children are lucky for having such a smart and lovely mom. Her heart twinkles even if she has wrinkles ❤
she is just AMAZING!!!!❤ our elders are such a treasure, we could learn EVERYTHING from them. we need to love & appreciate them daily
Rest in Happiness, Peace and Love Gladys 🙏🕊🤍✨️ Thank you for your inspirational life!
Her husband wanted a divorce after 46 years and 6 children!? Now that is just silly. Definitely his loss.
Well, she’s still here enjoying life. ❤
Miss Gladys is a sweetheart.
Hmmm I didn't see it that way at all. She wrote him a letter a year and thanked him, clearly she has found the value in finding her self. He obviously was not happy after 46 years of marriage and had the strength to pivot in his seventies to find that happiness, they seem to be both where they want to be, we only have 1 shot at this thing called life. the pursuit of happiness is your responsibility to yourself, try not to leave this world...wisha coulda woulda
@@jamesrowe2383 doesn’t time together mean anything anymore?
@@mjaybeea lot of pain in this day and age has hardened the hearts of many
Wonder too if her ex is still around... the divorce may have contributed to her long, deep and meaningful life... very inspirational lady... we can learn a lot from the wise lady ❤
She probably was a bad wife... the average man just don't leave his wife unless it's something drastic. Everybody had their story. She's older and wiser now.. so she talks a good game.
We all need to pay close attention to this amazing woman. She is pure WISDOM! Thank you.
Just amazing lady! Gives us all hope. To think I sit and worry about getting older every year and this amazing woman at over a hundred years old is so grateful and full of light and love, makes me feel there is still time to do the things I need to do.
This woman was endowed with a high quality genetic disposition. She inherited longevity because everything in her body works efficiently, her mind, definitely her gut and her spirit. She just banked on it and enjoyed it. She seems like a very nice person so I’m happy for her.
She's also a woman. That's a huge part of it.
Nothing is 100% inherited, life style matters A LOT. It has been proven that your level of physical activity, what you eat, fasting, etc. influence (changes) your gene expression. You can reprogram your genes
Hater. She worked for her circumstances and did not simply rest on her genetics.
A wonderful lady, Dr Gladys. My husband divorced me after 30 years of marriage. I can relate. I found renewed meaningful work and it is still carrying me through. Very satisfying especially in retirement. What retirement!
Dr Gladys does not talk about her faith. If she were a Christian, she would. That is a concern. Where will she spend eternity? With God or without God. We are eternal beings. Without God is called hell. With God, she needs an entrance ticket. His name is Jesus. No one is perfect. We all sinned. Jesus paid the penalty for our sins. Is there any other religious leader that did that? Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by him. A quote from the Bible. I will pray for Dr Gladys.
@@louiseallard5620talk about judgemental! Wow, are you going to be surprised!
Example of being able to live with family support. Without her son, John, then unlikely she'd still be doing this well. Guessing her son is pretty old too. Good thing she has her mind so sharp. That's a true blessing.
I am sure that God would have done something because it was meant for her to live up to now.
My grandmother will be 103 October 2024. She is such a beautiful woman. You are 1 of a special group of people that are blessed to live into your 100s.
Don't just live with gratitude everyday but feel a sense of awe over something everyday. For this beautiful lady, just waking up each day leaves her in awe.
She deserves to live to be 150 yrs old ! She has so much to teach the younger generations.❤
The very sad part is the younger generation could careless about about the lesser and their wisdom. It’s truly heartbreaking!
Yooo ...the way she responds to questions at her age is amazing...this lady doesn't dwell on worries even though hard times come ...she taught her self to let go and always sees light
We need our old people like this to give us wisdom, encourage us, give hope for the future and just pure joy to share time with. Thank you, a wonderful interview.
“There’s always light” that’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard today. ❤️✨
_'I don't have much but I've got the whole world.'_ These are true words of wisdom.
Wow.. thanks TH-cam algorithm for recommending this video randomly. Lately I am “closing the door” for some reasons, but this interview reminded me of my belief “no matter what happens this world is wonderful” and opened my heart to this world again. I guess this video is what I need to/should watch at this moment.
One of the greatest video and thank you for an amazing interview!
She is my inspiration. I'm 63 and have set a goal to try to live to 100. People always say... Why? Think about how OLD you will feel, you will probably be sick and helpless. Well maybe? but maybe not. Look at Dr. Gladys. I think setting goals mentally and physically, keeping mentally and physically active and having that wonderful positive attitude that life is amazing is what will keep a person going.
💯💕🙋♀️
I too intend to live to at least 100 years of age. I'm heading towards my seventies. So far so good. ❤
@@raywatlington5651 That's awesome, keep moving and positive attitude.
I’ll be 70 next month and I have been researching how best to be with ageing. She’s my inspiration!
Beautiful Lady. The best advice I ever heard " l don't have a favorite food, l'm just happy l have food to eat " 🙏🏼❤️is always to be thankful for everything we have!❤️
Oh my. This lady is going to make me cry. Her wisdom is endless. I really felt the part about looking for the light till you find it. It’s so true! Never give up, even in your darkest times. The strength you lend others will come back to you.
Dr Gladys, you are amazing ! My parents were your brother, Carl’s students in India, at Christian Medical College Ludhiana. Dr Carl Taylor was my father’s hero. He set up a rural medical centre in Narangwal village in Punjab and my parents were in the batch of 1953 MBBS course. I am their eldest daughter. I am enriched by hearing you talk on TH-cam. God bless you, stay happy and healthy and involved. You’re beautiful. Sheena.
I hope as I keep growing up I become closer and closer to being the way Dr. Gladys lives her life. Full of life, honesty, humility, humor and love. Keep moving- one of her many simple yet profound statements in this short video. I loved it. Good questions you asked too.
Life, love, laughter, labour, listening
Amazing, lovely woman (with beautiful hair)
Thank you for this.
Dr. Gladys interview was so inspiring and by far the best I've ever heard. She needs her own podcast to share w the world her knowledge and love of life.❤
She’s so wonderful!! She’s faced everything.. not wasting a minute! God Bless her.. and you too for interviewing Dr Gladys♥️
She is precious. I hope her family cherishes every minute they have with her ❤
Bless her she is so sharp for her age.
“Taking a rest is not being lazy. You’re doing something “
She still has her marbles. What a lucky woman she is 🎉
She has her own marbles + the marbles of half of humanity at the VERY least 😂
She's a ROCKSTAR 🎉🎉🎉
Interesting perspective. After seventy plus years and having lost two wives to disease, I consistently ask myself why, of all people, am i still here? What Gladys said to me is "I am not thinking about my life correctly."
As a septuagenarian I can continue on without fear, or blame, revel in the shared memories of my life and of those who I shared the experience, and as Gladys advises spread that light we find on our individual paths.
I was especially moved by the challenges she meet by being unafraid. World War Two she said had considerable bad news for everyone. She learned she was not alone and was able to deal with the fear in that knowledge. We are all afraid at certain points in time. Gladys's fear of hunger resonated with me the most. If you are hungry, though no fault of your own, you just keep looking for the "light." That may sound a bit non-specific, but I understood what she was trying to say. We are not hungry alone. We learn to share and make the best of our common experience.
There were other nuggets of advice I took from Gladys's perspective, so I saved a copy of this video to reference from time to time.
I am not confident my life would last anywhere near one hundred years and that is not my goal. All I ask is to depart this world with the peace of mind that my life was worth the journey and somewhere, I was able benefit my fellow travelers with what I had learned.
💙😌
I loved your videos tonight. The 94 year old. The 104 yr old. Everyone you questioned on the street, I learned much.
Thank you.
Her inner strength has kept her.What a beautiful soul with great wisdom.The hand of God has definitely been upon her and her children.Thank you very much for inspiring me this morning while drinking my hot hibiscus tea.May you continue to enjoy the light Dr Gladys and for the person that made this video thank you very much.Greetings from Jos ,Plateau state,Nigeria.
'Don't lose the light. Follow the light. And love is always the great teacher.' ❤
Thank you for sharing Ms. Gladys. This is a life to live by. She's so positive in life and have no regrets. Happiness, laughter, and love.
This lady has more memory, more vibrance, more energy to talk .... more than a 20-year-person does.
Dr. Glady's is so mentally sharp, she still has work to do.
Wish we could all be so lucky! She’s extremely solid yet! 😊
G-d loves this beautiful and radiant lady; so full of grace and wisdom. She is in good health, have great mental fortitude, and what a gift of gratefulness and optimism. Thank you.
God please Bless and protect this beautiful woman!! She's incredibly inspiring!! 🙏🙌

U look pretty good for 103. What was ww2 like for u?
@@Mr.Oct___lol. It was the best of times….it was the worse of times. lol.
Sprouht, you looked shocked that Gladys' husband found new love at 70. My mother got married again at 79! They were both widowed, had known each other for 25 years😅 but were married to others. They were adorable and so happy together! I see many who don't want another relationship. There are still people that do. And when it's unexpected, it's like one of those pleasant surprises in life that just happen. In one of your interviews, a woman said, and I'm paraphrasing, don't pay attention to lifes expiration date! I love that! The above is a great example. Love your vids. Always thought-provoking 👍💞
I took it that he was more surprised that he left her at that age . That he gave her up to find someone else at that point in their lives together. That’s what I got from it. I could be wrong. But yes, I do believe you can find love at any age. I just don’t think that’s what he was really surprised about.
The shock was probably leaving your wife of 46 years and 6 kids for another woman. It's not hard to believe you can fall in love at any age.
I was just as incredulous that a man of that age would throw away stable family life for some other rando. It's one thing if you feel that life would be better alone but to leave behind stability to start over with someone else is a young fool's game...
@@carmenpretty5937 Yes. The ripping the family apart angle, not finding "Love".
Thank you for filming this precious talk. We are grateful that we've seen her and heard her. RIP Dr. Gladys
Thanks for bringing her to us, Will. She's a legend in her own time, and I love the classy way she handled the divorce. Also sending you some ❤for the work that you're doing. It's TH-cam at its best: original and top quality. You're asking the questions we all want answers to.
Awww my great grandfather passed away at 104 but I was too young to ask him questions about life. This lady is lovely, absolutely lovely and so so happy I got to watch this video
My Great Aunt died not so long ago and she would've been 103 this in December. She lived through so much in her life, though her smile would light up a room. Her laughter would fill a room. She never complained and loved all of us so much. She was always hopeful.
