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

I am 70 y/o. One thing I have learned is that humans are more flexible that they realize. I have had several careers not because I wanted to change because I had to. Farm labor, flour mill work, clinical pharmacist, large scale organic farmer were some of the major things I did. I would have loved to farm all my life. But I had a special needs child and I needed health insurance. So I went to pharmacy school for three years when I was 34. I studied seven hours a day and finished near the top of my class. Some classmates called me "geezer." I did pharmacy for a number of years and made good money and had health insurance too! When my son got into college he could get insurance, I quit pharmacy and returned to farming. I would not have made all these changes unless I had to do them. And I found I got a lot of satisfaction by learning new things and doing them well. Life is an adventure!
Love this! ❤
Life is an adventure? I cant say that...i think its a struggle
@@chriscampbell9207 Most adventures have a bountiful amount of struggle.
Life is a great adventure, indeed!
Thank you for sharing!

Thats lovely but can be taken wrong... be sure its a healthy choice! I mean i love cake, too!!
My grandma just passed at 104 and she talked about love, angels and eating close to nature. Family and love ❤️ first. She reminds me of my grandma. Great interview. Thank you. 😊
Hello nice to meet you
Bless you and your grandma.
I hope you live a long happy life like your wonderful grandma 🥰
Thank you for sharing you are immensely blessed to have had such a beautiful ❤️ grandmother. My condolences and remember she continues to live within you always.
@@LivingLifetotheFullest-cm2ib So sorry for your loss -- and yes, it is always loss when a loved one dies, at any age. My grandfather died at 101 when I was almost 50, and I felt it profoundly, especially since he had all his cognitive faculties. Someone once said when an elderly person dies, a library burns. So true.
“Reach for Life. If you’re reaching for life, life reaches back to you.”

*I learnt Most of This topic from 5200 Years old Indian Book "BHagvat Geeta" ,, Karma kar GOD pe Chhod,, Means,,, Do Your best & Let God Give you Result, Accept it*
So true
103 years old and her mind is very sharp. Great interview!💯
God bless this nice lady to live many more productive years. In West Africa, where I have lived for the past 25 years, there are many people who have crossed 100 years. Natural food, friendly relationships - it is the secret to long life. Africa has its secrets to beautiful life, and that motivated me to start my own channel as well.
Very sharp mind. Awesome 🤗

Damn….she is more lucid and conscious than 99.9% of the asses living today
True. I'm scared I won't be that fully aware whenever I get old. I would rather not be around if I'm not self aware honestly.
Lol
lol
Fr! ❤
I sat and talked to my wife’s grandfather a couple of years ago before he passed at almost 100. I asked him about his experiences in WWII and he was telling me stories in great detail of bombing missions over Germany in B24s like it was yesterday - It was crazy!
This woman has figured out how to live. Always move forward, stay engaged, be kind to others and seek adventure. Wow! ❤❤❤
Always grow.
Only the fact that she is sitting with 103yo in front of a computer having a zoomcall shows how openminded she is. Positive person, willing to learn and never stop living but waiting for the end.
The wisdom of age. She has lived and deserves to be listened to and respected.
Agreed.
I think it's not the wisdom of age but the wisdom of being observant and being able to learn from mistakes.
Not every old man has that wisdom.
the social security administration HATES this lady. collecting that check for decades when the govt. wanted her dead at the median age of 78-80...
Everyone deserves to be listened to and respected!
@@Mockduck2020 even those who spread bigotry and hatred? The intolerant and narrow minded? I think not. The woman in the clip shows wisdom and understanding and that’s what shines about her.
I am in my early 60s and retired at 53. Lots of people gave me pushback because they had difficulty grasping the concept of not working if you don’t have to. I looked at my life as stages. I earned everything I have now through a lot of hard work, but I owe it to myself to “stop and smell the roses” in my final stage of life. In my case I left the country after I retired and live in Latin America. It allowed me to get away from all the negative things happening in America while appreciating my new environment. I have yet to meet anyone who regrets retirement.
Nice way to retire. For me, I believe retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My wife and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement.
This is true. I'm in my mid 40's now. My wife and I were following this same trajectory. Last two years, I pulled out my money and invested with her wealth manager. Not catching up with her profits over the years, but at least I earn more. I'm making money even before retiring, and my retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha.
It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than a million dollars by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.
I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.
I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. Finding financial advisors like Marisa Breton Dollard who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
After 70 years of marriage one day out of nowhere her husband asked for a divorce....Her attitude of just let it go saved her life.
Her ex husband is also deceased during this interview
She was 70 when he asked for a divorce, not after 70 y of marriage.

Don't know if someone is reading this, but if you are: it doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful day and a happy, peaceful life where all your dreams come true. You are amazing and beautiful!
I believe in you!
Did you know tarot was invented/designed to stimulate suggestion & it was/is so successful the most suggestible people turned it into pseudo spiritual/psychic beliefs and many Cons.😅😂🤣. Not for Catholics/Christians.
Thank you and I wish you the same 😊😊
Thank you,glad that people like you exist,wish you all the joy ,happiness and prosperity too, God bless us all 🤍🙏
don't know how old YOU are, but that is one of the nicest things I've read on TH-cam. My own grandmother lived to 106, she also had the same mindset and smiled 24/7--------She believed in a Supreme Being, and she had 6 sisters, two of which lived to 109! I wish she had written a book.
@@georgiafrancis9059 blessing I am glad 😊 as long as you have love within you are safe love 💓💓😘 you too 💓
One of the things I notice about her is she doesn't get hung up on grief and loss, and I am sure she has had a lifetime of it. That is a tricky one for people to navigate. Grief ages people tremendously. The pain is practically etched on their faces. Finding the joy in living no matter your circumstances is mandatory in living a happy life. There's no getting around it.
Yes, I agree so much. Living so long definitely had some serious bumps on the road. Like she mentioned divorcing in her 70s! I bet she was wishing to care for another when being old, as people do in marriage, and it was taken from her. And she is still quite happy, that's admirable. And brave.
@@tajakjejtamIts because shes realised that just being alive is itself amazing. Something we all need to take from this.
And they're isn't any cure for grieving. I've lost 13 people in the last 14 years now.
Grief and loss are held in the body, the nervous system, though. I never held on to the multiple losses and all the grief and anger in my life, cognitively. I lived on in joy. But my body knew, and I became extremely ill and housebound at 49 right in the height of a business that was going very well, a beautiful romantic relationship, one child going into grad school, and the other one in high school. I learned that when there's a lot of trauma and stress in your life, your body will break down and get sick. Even if you cognitively do not realize it. I recovered 70%, and did trauma work, slowed down, (no choice), and enjoyed people for the play, not for work, I did not push myself so much and did more things that I truly enjoy. But then I got sick again because of the shutdown, a part time job I loved lost, activities that kept me healthy were gone, and could get my trauma therapy.
So this is what confuses me. Our body holds on to the grief, and traumas, etcetera unless we do so many exercises, inner work, etcetera, to get rid of it. Many of us don't hold on to it cognitively, just like I didn't.
With this experience and learning about the nervous system, I think there must be something else to this.
My grandmother on my dad's side lived to be 1 month shy of 106. Not 1 of her 6 uncles, aunts, dad, mom, etc) lived anywhere close to that age.
Chemicals in Foods now, our push push hectic lifestyle,has a lot to do with it, and lack of community in the last 30-50 years.
@@tammyrobinson1613 Excellent observation. So true. Thank you for pointing it out. So we can still be victims of trauma, in spite of our best efforts.! The body has a ,mind, of its own, it seems. !😊
SHE is one awesome example of WHY we need to listen to our elders !!! Blessed she is !!
@@insanity6829 yea but millenials arent listening
This lady might just be the most mentally fit human being on the planet its incredible and inspiring.Her family is blessed and thanks for sharing her wisdom with us.Lot of young people needed this im one of them ❤
She's amazing 🥰
In Ghana (West Africa), where I live for the past 25 years so many centenarians. The grandad of my son-in-law lived for 112 years. There are so many " human germs" in Africa, that also motivated me to start my african TH-cam channel .
Advice: Always be aware of GOD whom we have to be returned.
I am 77 years old Woman….I am a Group Fitness Instructor 🏋🏻♂️…I work in Assisted Living Facilities
and in Memory Care…. I love what I do…It fill my heart with gratitude 🙏🏽
It keeps me active and young…forever Learning and striving for more 😊
Wow. Looking much younger. Thanks for sharing your insights. Maintaining curiosity, learning and staying active seem to be one of the major pillars of live.
What do you mean by living assisted facilities
@@vanitagomes3794 Hello, I was rushing...I meant Assisted Living
I made the correct...Thank you
Wow! I adore you. I wish I'd been raised with a role model like you in my life. Thank you for sharing. ❤
"Find what you love and love it to pieces!"
WOW! WOW! And WOW!🌷
Wonderful 🌷
Have a friend who is 103. Laughter/humor is healing & soothing.
So darn simple, and beautiful.
A lot of what she says reflects exactly what I learned towards my late 20s. I felt trapped in society and took 2 years off of work to just travel, meet new people, work on myself, read many books, built a community wherever I went, etc. Over time, I learned a lot of what she’s saying right now and I’m completely elated to know I’m on the right path.
I’ve always instinctively knew this was the right thing to do, but having someone who lived up to 103 say the same things is a very strong reinforcement for my faith.
Just had this conversation with my older sister. I told her how I intend to teach me kids that they could travel learn about different cultures and that there is absolutely no rush to settle down
And may I ask what do you do for a living? Just out of curiosity, I have been thinking a lot recently about my professional life and I don't feel well any more with brainless, corporate jobs...😢
I am 71. What has surprised me is how much easier it is to enjoy life in older age. Often things that caused me sorrow or anxiety no longer upset me, and I have also made tough decisions. I finally came to grips with the reality that some people in my life are bad for me, treating me as a lesser being or treating my dreams with contempt (narcissistic or borderline personality disorder) and distanced myself from them. These are relatives I loved who used me as a psychological punching bag when their lives disappointed them. I stripped much of the complexity from my life to make it richer (less is more). Being a naturally solitary person, I do not interact much with my community, but I do recognize that it has systems that help me enjoy my life.
Even in my unhappiest times, I have loved learning. That helped me return to the light.
Great insights.
Her hair is so pretty ☺️☺️😇May God continue to bless her 😇
I wish id had someone like this in my life when I was young.
Better NOW than NEVER 🌈✌🏽♥️🩸🩸🩸timing of God☕️🌻
You can start now…
You can be this to someone in their life. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😇😇😇
She said look forward towards the light not back. Imagine what else you'll learn in the future?
Finding something that makes your heart sing that will allow another person's heart to sing wonderful words from this lady
This is my favorite thing that she said. I also love her “L” list. I have a show I call “One Day to Love “ now instead of One Date to Love because I realized there is so much more to love in life that a romantic relationship. I grew as a result of that.
@@1Date2Love as i get older and at 74 i can relate to a lot of the things she says i have lost so many good people along life's highway and loss is something if I'm being honest I've never quite come to terms with but this.lady is so wise and really we just have to get on with life make every day an adventure and the following day even more so i am so lucky in that i have good health and there really are millions less fortunate than myself
@@johnbatch9276 Yeah, I feel the same. I think that sense of loss right there is why most men die sooner than women. Some of us just can't get over it. It really grates against that "duty" button. But like she said, if you want to heal you got to keep loving, everything, so much. Aside from laughter, that is the key to coming to terms with loss. Give your loss to love, both old and new, with no off button. It really does work.
I@@TungBI suppose if your feeling good any age is OK be it 23 or 103 personally always felt good see friends my age who are not to good just get on with it laughter is a good medicine and I've never taken anything seriously 😅
@@TungB I love what you wrote. It made me cry but I love it.
this lady is the ICONIC physician, Dr. Gladys McGarey
Explain pls... for those of us who hv never heard of her, this would be very interesting...
I've seen several interviews with her. I'm 57 and do a lot of charity work here in Myanmar that gives my life purpose and brings joy to others. I still work full time as a teacher and I taught myself TH-cam.
"The moment of my life,
is this one," she is right 🎉
Have a long & happy life,
beautiful, wise young lady!
Right!!
Please remove the background music. It is nice to hear to pure conversation instead of being distracted by the music.
agreed
Yes
i like it. 😊
Oh stop
I agree, the music is very distracting. I couldn't watch this, and I really wanted to. 😢
I love this interview. At 103 years old, that woman is sharp and possesses the wisdom gained through maturity. Her '5 L's' lessons in life are truly impactful.
Gladys mentioned 5L’s: Love, Life, Laughter, Labor, and Listening. The core is all linked to Love. God is Love. He’s the source of energy. We should all connect to God.
Absolutely! Thats whats missing with most people. They have no regard for God and it show NO regard for God. HE is our peacr, joy and true LOVE. God be with all.
you had me until “god.” you don’t have to believe in a god to be connected to any of the aforementioned Ls.
God creator who gave us His only son Jesus is our true source of life. “If you have seen me you have seen the Father” He is the epitome of true love - patient, kind, does not envy, does not boast, merciful, humble, yielding, forgiving.
“Let everything you do be done in love” May the Lord bless her, clearly He hasn’t called her home yet for a reason.
There's no god silly
5 L’s. Not forgetting that. What an incredible teacher.
Absolutely.
Life and love,
Laughter,
Labor,
and Listening (with love, which is understanding)
How wonderful is it that she was born in India because her parents were missionaries travelling and working across Indian villages and the lesson she keeps saying her mother taught her is actually a Hindi phrase "kuch parwah nahi" which means it doesnt matter as rightly translated by her.
She’s wonderful, and her words are true. I am 74 and living my best life.🌵💙🐣🌷
"The most important moment of my life is THIS ONE "
Wow!! Yes. Live in the now!!❤
Wow. She is beautiful! Inside and out.
Some people work the job they love, other people work the job they have to work.
Work till 70 ,75. Be responsible , dont quit,..for your brain health...whatever you do do it wifh passion
if I close my eyes I feel like I'm listening to a 30something-year old woman. What a lovely soul filled with so much wisdom.
"Find what you love, and love it to pieces." That is amazing advice!
What a beautiful spirit she radiates. I love her
So much better than a younger person with a message. This human has wisdom of over a century under her belt.
“Listening with love is understanding” ❤️
Life, Laughter, Labor, Listening, and doing it all with Love! Thank you for that reminder Dr. Gladys McGarey. ❤❤❤
Amazing woman. What a fool her ex was.
How do you know?
Everybody comes into our lives for a reason and maybe she wouldn’t be who she is now if he had stayed ❤
@@sanjsub1800because he missed out on the most amazing part of their lives got with a younger woman and those 2 aren't here anymore and Dr. Gladys is. So that's how. He served his purpose and like Dr. Gladys stated in her other interviews post divorce she was no longer Bill and Gladys she is Dr. Gladys. 🤯
She is incredible. The music playing is distracting.
yes, the music is too loud.
Joy is the answer.We must find our authentic joy
JES❤S IS J🎉Y
She should run for president.
Or be an advisor to them.
Wow amazing person and she is smarter then Harris
I believe she has always been a beautiful being full of light and age has not changed that. Never truer words than if you reach for life life reaches back to you.
This is beautiful. You know who else I'd really like to hear from are people that have been broke for most of their lives. I've heard a lot from folks who are seemingly affluent - not all, of course. But, I would love to hear their perspectives. I think that would be important.
Those stories are so hard for us to tell. It’s a double edged sword. You can’t tell the good news of it without telling the pain. Overcoming dysfunction and poverty is rarely ever done, and it has left me with the perspective that any difficulties I face I have already overcome so much worse. It leaves you knowing, you shouldn’t even be alive, so anything you have is gravy anything you loose job house, anyone you loose by break up or other, I’m too busy being grateful for the time I had it with them to be sad about loosing it. I want to be a loving person regardless that has always been and continues to be the goal. I cherish life no one is promised tomorrow and I try to be in every conversation as if it could be mine or the other person’s last and I don’t want to be responsible for that person having a bad experience. I learned compassion. It’s grueling hard work and I find peace in knowing the rest of my life it’s self is healing because it’s another day of compassion and gratitude. Thank you so much for seeing us.
Same here. I would like to hear from those who didn’t have a lot but made it theough
They don't live as long. Being rich brings along less stress, being more physically active, more hobbies, better food. It's been well documented
@@priskruger314 Yes and the ones that are out there, it’s very painful to revisit. Along with it all, you feel guilty for the ones you left behind. You couldn’t save. When you have reached that point of peace you just want to stay right there. Also for us who have been at the very bottom of society we can relate to most once we are self made, but not many can relate to us. We have had nearly every human experience but most have only known what they have always known. At least this is the feeling we struggle with.
and this proves affluent people are just as ordinary as any. The human experience applies to all!
This lady talks exactly as I do. Same attitude. I hope she lives at least for another 50 years.
Bless this woman!
Amazing woman . Sharp . Smart . Lively
Wow...she got it all figured out. AMAZING LOVE HER!!❤❤❤
Amazing outlook!! She’s right about every day being a blessing. There’s always something to be thankful for.
Love for God and the entire universe will love you! Wholeheartedly.
Her mental acuity is remarkable! Good interview, Sprouht!
Gladys is speaking Hindi. When she says in the beginning that the secret to old life is to drop things that do not matter "Kuch Parwa nahin". That means either her or her mother lived in India....Love you Gladys....❤
She said her childhood was spent in India
Listening without love is empty. Wow.
Find what you love & love it to pieces….WOW!
Life is the choices you make, like the internet you can get loss on the superficiality of social media or you can appreciate channels like this one, full of positivity and knowledge.
The 5 L's are truly awesome and how this woman connected them or intertwined them is just purely amazing.
Beautiful, enlightening interview with a special lady. Your questions were right on. Sweet!
I listened to a 102 yr old Asian woman say the same thing the other day without hesitation. She said “community”, but in Japanese or something.
Smile like she does and be content like she is!
Gladys is amazing! Love this interview!
Can we have a job we don't love but puts food on our family's table and find our happiness outside of work? That is my hope.
Having stayed in a job I hated and regret, you might want to decide what you’d really love to do and take baby steps in that direction till you can make a change. That’s my recommendation.
How about choosing to love the job you have while looking for something better? Loving or hating something is sometimes a choice. If you can't love it, you can at least be grateful for it.
Fulfillment in training/enjoying your children, helping them become the best they can be, hobbies, friendships, pets, nature, good literature, your relationship with Christ-- much to make life exciting & fulfilling aside from our work hours. Even night time dreams can be enjoyable & satisfying.
Do what you enjoy. Apply this to all aspects of your life. Be flexible and embrace life. Do not be brittle and embrace death.
Loving your job is number one!! Then and only then you'll love your entire life....we were brainwashed to believe the opposite
This video is going into my "watch later" and "favorites" so i can come back to it over and over...the wisdom she explains is exactly what I need to hear...Thank you!
I love that you spoke with someone who has so much wisdom, which often comes with age and sometimes painful experiences. Doing something you love, and having a community, are both so very important.
Kuch parwah nahi is Hindi language.So lovely
"find what you love and love it to pieces"
The most important moment of my life is this one!
Love from India ❤
I have read her book and keep it in my library. “The Well Lived Life” highly recommend.
When I'm in 20's watching a woman in103 y.o. seems we have 5 times gap of experiences in life. Nice interview ❤
"If you are reaching for life, life will reach for you". And "Don't get stuck". Wow. Dr. Gladys is old in years, young in mind - focus on positives, move forward. Purpose is so important, you don't have to change the world or make a billion - just make a small difference - for others, regularly = purpose. Great video!
Find what you love and love it to pieces. ❤
Glad you could capture her amazing wisdom for us all, thanks!
I couldn't love this more. Thank you 🙏
she’s just so clearly spoken & eloquent. A voice that demands you listen in a sense
This lady's brain is still so sharp...at 103 years old its incredible!! She is truly blessed. ❤ Love to her.
Just what I needed...thank you ffor shining your light on me this morning Gladys 🙏 💕 🇨🇦 Sending love and laughter to you, beautiful lady!
Beautiful, how she is Wearing that braid like a crown 👑 very wise words!
Omg❤look at her❤..such a magical lady..she bought me goosebumps..I am 60 now and I want you go far like her.WOW..We have to keep moving n reaching to light🎉LOVE N LOVE INTO PIECES ❤
Moving, shifting, and reaching for the light.
God bless this woman...She is approximately the same age as my Grandmother. My grandmother was a tough woman from a tough generation, Who always had good wisdom to impart. I really miss her,
I can’t imagine being that sharp and agile at that age. Incredible
What a gorgeous, empathic goddess! Bless you Dr. McGarey.
What invitees words, this lady just radiates positive love and is fascinating listen to her! ❤
Words of life's wisdom. Thank you miss. God bless you with His love and salvation.
I agree we need more of a community mind set. Our elders can provide so much insight to the younger generation. We need to find a way to connect and gain knowledge and perspective in life. Loved this segment ❤
Awesome life giving wisdom, thank you
Find what you love and love it to pieces and she is so right, what a beautiful woman and you have the same ingrediënts for such a great life. Because you are now investigating and asking all sorts of people, young and old,the questions that really are the essence of life. Thank you for this ❤ Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Iam very thankful for this video
Very wise woman. God bless her with continued happiness.
she said it all so beautifully.
love strong willed people like her.
Beautiful she is . Bless her heart.
Your interviews are so great. Thank you for doing what you do.
Wonderful woman, great to hear her talk like that!♥️ All we can do is try, and sometimes the light is lost for a while, just try finding it again, that's all we can do....
Awesome interview. Truly hit the spot on life. 😊
Thank you for sharing your insight and lessons learned! You are wise.
She speaks well. God bless her with many more years
Great inspiration!
And I like the personal style and fashion sense of this beautiful being! 🌸
She is so adorable, so amazing on her comments with really clear mind , congratulations to have reached that age
So much wisdom here, thank you for sharing. I want to remember to be on Gladys level every minute, every day. ❤😍
True life experience. I love to learn from a such kind of truth. She is amaizing!
