If you could give any piece of advice to someone, what would it be? 💭
Live your life with contentment. Don't live with regrets for not telling someone that you love them, for not apologizing for your mistake, for not helping someone when you could. You never know if tomorrow you can see them again and can talk to them. So do it right away. Because Regret is the most painful thing you can experience in life. Thanks for your question.🙏
Consistency with: Diet, exercise, hydration, self-care, self-love, up keep with general check ups, therapy, ….., it will sustain you through it all.
what's your best tip for being consistent?@@rosamoreno4794
how can we live our life with more contentment?@@koolbean6720
@@Sprouht Contentment is simple yet complex to understand. To be happy we have to see the positive side of every situation. Spread love, be kind and empathetic towards others and avoid greed for material things and possessions. Love but don't beg them to love you back. Many times we are unhappy as things are not happening how we expect them to be. It is guaranteed disappointment. So to experience contentment we should be like the droplet on lotus leaf. Attached detachment , Detached attachment..

When she said “You can’t just lay in bed and eat cookies” I felt personally attacked
😅
😂😂😂
😅Me too! I was like, hey, sometimes you need to enjoy those cookie days, too! 😂
😂😂
Hahaha😂😂😂
Being healthy is a huge plus in life. I’ve been sick most of my life & I don’t really enjoy life bc I’m in pain all the time. If you have your health, your life is rich.❤
I absolutely agree-it really is hard to enjoy and value life when your daily baseline is pain and discomfort, either physically or mentally-or both😓 I feel you🙏🏻
@Carey86 What ways have you found to best deal with the pain and enjoy life as much as you can?
I wish you good health!
@@resistapathy I was on a fentanyl lollipop for 18 years but got off it bc it stopped working and it’s not meant to be used for that long. I try to take meds and medical marijuana & fall asleep but I mostly just suffer. Going to get injections in my spine, hope that will work. Distracting myself by watching tv, playing games on my phone, painting or reading help when the pain isn’t too severe. When it’s really bad, I just lay in bed crying & praying the meds kick in and the pain it stops soon.
If you like to listen from dr Natasha Campbell-Mcbride: she addresses the root cause of diseases and has books and she has healed millions with her nutritional protocol
My advice: Learn the difference between: career, job, and vocation. They are all distinctly different things and I think this causes a LOT of stress and wastes a LOT of people's precious time. Define what 'success' looks like for YOU, whether that means living in a tent or a mansion, don't let others opinions influence the decisions you make.
This is excellent advice. I do feel like most of my generation (millennials) won't truly understand this until it's too late. I'm in my early 30's and have treated every job that I've had like a job while my peers treat it as a career expecting fulfillment.
Exactly, and if you need to lay in bed and eat cookies all day for a few weeks, a month, you have plenty of time to still grow from that, and be someone. Life takes many twists and turns.. and depression very well may be 1 of them.. and someone whose never been through depression likely won't understand that. Heal yourself first before you pressure yourself to do Anything else! People who force themselves through tough times without healing are far more likely to make bad decisions for the sake of just doing something.. possibly even hurting others in the process. Stop. Don't do that. Take care of yourself first.. and consider seeking help. Humans weren't made to do Everything alone! ❤
@@ree3197this advice means a lot to me. thank you 😭
How do you go about healing yourself? I'm 59 years old and feel like a ship that has lost its compass. I'm dealing with yet another episode of depression and i'm struggling to get back on my feet. The thing is i don't have a direction to go towards. The only real family i have is my elderly mother. The two remaining siblings i still have don't care about me really. Its so painful to be alone with your thoughts and are unable to free your heart from intense sadness and pain. It's like my inner child is crying out for someone to help me out of this mess. How do i find ME in all of this mental chatter? I've gone through therapy before and know how to use the tools, but it isn't working at this time. I know i'm a stranger on You Tube reaching out to you. But, i feel like i need something inside me to change or i don't think i can continue like this much longer.
@@tanastoiberg7981 have you try seeking God? I’m 24 years of age and so much had happened in my little years. Whenever I get depressed I used to always turn to external things such as pleasure, alcohol, drugs & etc. I also tried working out which it does work a little, but time catches on and I’m back in the same state I was before. By realizing that I’m imperfect and will always do wrong, God was my last option. Although coming to God doesn’t make you perfect, but it fills the emptiness within and gives you peace and fulfillment that the world couldn’t give❤️. Seek the Lord & call upon his name. I wish you the best from one stranger to another 🙏.
I heard a great quote that stuck with me (said by a hospice patient who was dying). “At the end of life, there are no do-overs, especially with your health.” Take excellent care of your body. You only get one. ❤
One of the last remarks from my dying mother was "All that worry for nothing". It was a message to me that worry is a worthless activity.
Eat more, die young . . . 400lbs is extremely sexy these days according to social media
“You only get one” To which I’d say “For now”
Yep!! Doing my best to reverse the damage done to our family by diet, modern "medicine," store-bought hygiene and cleaning products, etc. People scoff and say it's hippie dippie fear-mongering nonsense but it really isn't - we've just been b r a i n w a s h e d to think it is. I used to be a scoffer but then I woke up. I can't unsee it. It was overwhelming at first but then it was liberating. Try it. You'll wish you had done it years ago.
Take really good care of your soul first. Not only do you only get one, but it's eternal, for better or worse
Here my advise: eat healthy, exercise, 7-9hours of sleep, do not stress and get rid of ANYTHING that causes stress, do not compare yourself to others, go into a career you enjoy, less is more, and travel.
Agreed! 😊
I totally agree. However, unfortunately, at least 99% of the people in the world don’t have the luxury of having just 1 of what was mentioned.
Avoiding stress isn't possible, but learning how to dance with it so we can put things in perspective is a fruitfull experience and a healthy life style ✌️
Avoid stress??? Really eh
99 % percent of people cannot exercize and eat healthy?
That guy who wanted to be an actor needs to take his own advice and do it now! He obviously was good when he was young and had the talent, pursuing dreams is not only for the young - go for it 💪🏻
Agreed! Why not, right?
I agree and he lives in new York! He could start in theatre, short films, whatever. Do it for the love
That’s exactly what I thought!
Exactly set up a social media account, hell even upload monologues to KZhead!
If you find someone who loves you & you love them, never let go of each other. Learn each others love languages, be gentle with one another, hold hands everyday, kiss each other every hour (or as often as possible) check in with them often & never ever be violent in any way with one another & no yelling. Also, be patient & curious not impatient & critical.
well said ..if only that exist...I was married to someone who was not kind or good...later on I met someone who I believed to be kind and good only he left 3 months before we got married ..but I like your post one can HOPE Right?
Don't let men stop you from realizing women are actually kind and you should find your wife, that's what I'm doing :) good luck!
@@s.p.baughman7885 there are awful people out there and no one will be perfect but the most important thing is to find a person that has a good heart and treats you kindly. There is hope!
Excellent advice!! I have such a wonderful husband and I try to cherish him always. 😊
@@s.p.baughman7885 It's not always easy to hope, sometimes it feels impossible. I think certain life experiences can hardwire us to unintentionally experience the same pain over & over. Maybe talking to a counselor you feel safe with might help your next experience to remain healthy & positive
“I could nitpick to death but I choose not to do that because it doesn’t expand the relationship!” This lady delivered some golden nuggets 👏
Agree with you
I'm not a native English speaker. Could someone explain what the lady means? Seems kind of porweful 😅
❤❤❤❤ Accurate
@@TheMappi. Nitpicking could be like nagging about every thing, or picking things apart to have to be correct, etc. Basically, don’t sweat the small stuff…..or pick your battles could be other cliches that have similar sentiments.
@@anneb889 thanks for the explanation, I get it now :)
I’m 71. I loved my job, which was being what most people describe as a cog in a big company, but I loved being a part of a team, belonging every day. You can always learn more about your industry - always. I retired and now devote myself to an animal shelter. Both experiences have been wonderful!
I would like that also, I’m currently a business administration student
I am sooooooooooo happy for you. BTW - @ 71, you are still YOUNG. Do what makes you happy. The world needs MORE OF YOU!
I already feel you’re an awesome person
Can I ask you for some advice? I have wasted past 3 years in laziness and depression. All my friends started college. I am still just a high school pass out. I only started working hard past week. Looking to join college next year. I will be 21 when I start. It is crushing me a lot. Repeated failures and disappointment in my parents eyes hurts a lot. My parents are absolutely supportive and amazing. They keep giving me chances but I keep blowing it up each time. Would it be okay?
My advice to younger people is that if you want to travel, do it while you are young and healthy and have energy and curiosity. I always planned my life to assume that I could travel when I was older or retired, and got a mortgage at 21. I wish I had paused for a year or two to go and travel before tying myself down financially, because my health has taken an unexpectedly bad turn the last few years and at this stage I don't know if I will have the mobility and energy to be able to travel in my older years, whereas I could have in my younger years. Basically - don't put things off if you really want to do them, because you don't know what challenges you'll have as you get older that may stop you from doing them later in life.
Yes! My Dad traveled a lot young but wanted to do more when he retired. The month he retired he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed away few months later. Now I prioritize it when I can, even with my little kids- worth it!
@@kaylachristenson9664 My condolences for the loss of your dad, but thank you for sharing your experience.
Thank u 💕 I am lucky I def did this before even having children bc idk when I'll find the time & funds to do so for awhile. I got to see a handful of the wonders of the world while still young 🙌🏽 Peru Egypt Dubai Mexico 💕 I hope u will still be able to get your travels on 🤞🏽 even if not too far or grand dont let ur dream slip. U got this 💪🏽 it's still possible
The world is a wonder when you are young, and with globalization it become more and more the same. So yes, travel when young if possible, especially outdoor eg climb mountains, trekking etc.
I didn’t start traveling until I was 50 in 2002. Since then I have traveled to a LOT of places, even overseas. Been to Ireland, France, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, Alaska, California, Tennessee, Virginia. And I ain’t done 😉😃
My one word for finding “Love” is find someone that makes you laugh at yourself and often. I wake up in the morning and look at my beautiful wife, and know that the day will be great. 😊😊😊😊
Sweet ...not everyone is lucky in love....Congrats...
You obviously made GOOD CHOICES. Same here. My "King" makes me laugh every day. At him, and myself. It's priceless!
@@s.p.baughman7885 There is no "luck" involved. He was true to himself, and so was she: THUS they were led to each other. You get what you settle for.
Fight hard to learn to love and accept yourself. When you do that, you'll be too damn strong to let anyone who tries to make you feel "less than" overstay their welcome in you're beautiful life. LOVE YO SELF!!!!
“Overstay their welcome in your beautiful life”. I love that!❤️❤️❤️
❤
I love advice from "older" people (LOL. I'm 58). It's all so genuine and heartfelt. GRATITUDE... that's important. Not sure where I read this but it always resonated with me... Instead of beginning each day with an attitude of "Ugh, I HAVE to do this," change the thought to "I GET to do this." I think that if we are grateful for simple and mundane things, our brains get re-wired from negative to positive, and life becomes much richer. Faith is also important. I'd love to hear more from folks in the interviews about that. Great video! Thank you Will.
I agree 🎉
Wow , this help me a lot. I get to do this sound much better than ‘have to”. Thank you
I second the AGREE...🙏
Thank you I will now use this broke the toilet trying to fix the cistern. I then said wow I get to fi it. Now save $150 an hour on plumberx as this releases your potential. You never know your potential until you put yourself out there.
Amen
I’m 32 and for almost the entire video I was captivated by sadness, but they’re all so optimistic and happy. These people are absolutely beautiful.
Why are you sad?
@@seektruth5750 Well, during the video I was sad because it’s hard to find people in everyday life that seem good-spirited. And the ones that are are generally the older people that have the wisdom to understand life in a deeper sense, and therefore are departing. I’d like to meet people my age that have similar outlooks and interests but they’re super hard to find.
@@Spartan-Of-Truth I see, it’s good that you’re aware because then you can do something about it. Where are you based if you don’t mind me asking?
@@seektruth5750 True, I just recently started to think differently in these aspects. I’m a bit of a traveler but currently reside in Idaho.
@@Spartan-Of-Truth cool stuff, you’ll find what you’re looking for, I wish you well .
I’m 69 now and I don’t have any major regrets. I was lucky to have many fun experiences in my 20-40’s. After that I worked hard making my money by selling my artwork, self employed. Was able to move to the country with my partner and have a couple horses. So far I’m happy with my decisions. 👍
Good on yah
That's the life I wish I had. 😢 Instead I'm on my way to retirement in my 30, because my social anxiety doesn't let me get a job, and it turns out I'm completely talentless in everthing but horses (which isn't a paid work where I live). So, no self employment and no more horses. 😢 My life is essentially over. 🤷🏻 I never wanted to be rich or famous or anything like that. Your life sounds like a dream. 🥺
@@RevanEde I realise this may be really hard to do, especially if you have severe social anxiety, but maybe care less about what other people think about you? There's a reason basically all of the elderly interviewees in the video give that advice. People generally don't give an f*** about you (as in what you do or what you look like). This might sound painfully direct, because it most likely is painfully direct, but it's also true. People don't care nearly as much as you think. Just think about it: how much do you care about how other people act/behave/dress if it doesn't hurt anybody else? Not a whole lot, right? That's how people will regard you too. Maybe it'll help you to actively decide to think this every time you get anxiety issues to make them more manageble? I have strugggled too, and still do with things, it's part of life. But there's no reason to make it harder than it has to be. And if you're already in that spot where you don't want to be (like extreme social anxiety)? It'll take time to change the pathways in your brain. A year or years, but I know you can do it. You probably need some good help with it, but I know you can do it. I got out of several depressions, a phobia for dogs, and developing OCD with persistence and time. It's possible. One little step at a time is great progress. Oh, and talent is overrated. You'll be able to go way further if you're just ok or good at something and are persistent in the practice than if you just have raw talent. My sister could've been in a big orchestra, she's that talented. She just never put it the effort to get that far and she was a bit lax with practice. There are probably people with less talent in that orchestra who did actually put in the work. And as a personal sidenote I also feel like telling people "you're so talented" kinda diminishes all the time and effort they put into developing that skill regardless what it is. Art, writing, music, things related to horses. It takes time and practice. Maybe you're a very artistically gifted person but you just need to put in a bit more time and practice in learning the skill and you could make beautiful horse related art you could sell? I'm certain there's a market for that :D There's a marked for basically anything you just have to find the right people.
sounds like a dream! im glad to hear not everyone is trapped in a capitalistic hellscape these days.
@@RevanEdePerhaps there’s a way you could move to an area that has horse work. Even around St. Louis there is a place that rescues horses and they use them in therapy. Very fulfilling work.
Don’t let a sourpuss steal your dreams. I wanted to travel abroad in college and learn Spanish. My Spanish teacher said to the whole class “don’t even thing about going abroad unless you are at least an intermediate level of Spanish.” I was a freshman and in beginning Spanish. I dropped his Spanish class, never took another Spanish class, and didn’t go abroad because I didn’t think I was at the appropriate “level”. Big regret. Just because people have a bad experience in life doesn’t mean you will too (ex- marriages, having kids, etc) ❤
I’m 60 y/o. My parents worked hard for me and my siblings. Their basic goal was to work and save money because they wanted us to have what they didn’t have in their youth. They WANTED US TO STUDY, so my older sister and I did study. It’s funny that we both had a vocation. She was an english teacher and I was an Administrative Assistant to a Human Resources Director in a big company. People might think that my job isn’t a vocation, but to me it was, because I liked to help and “serve others”. To serve is a service and I was great at that. Not everyone has the ability to do that type of work but I always loved it. My little sister had mental health issues since young and she went to college but didn’t get to earn a degree. My parents also wanted us to have our own houses. So I got my apartment and my oldest sister and her husband bought their house. My little sister’s husband bought their home. At my thirties, I started having mental issues and eventually I was disabled. I hit rock bottom because it was the end of my career. My beloved older sister died relatively young from a heart attack. My youngest sister had a stroke and the right side of her body wasn’t the same anymore. So, my point is that life is hard and sometimes we do things in a certain way to honor our parents wishes. We left aside those things that maybe we dreamt of doing at a younger age, and we prioritize on what our parents did and wanted us to do. I feel like I wasted my time and my life. But I will always appreciate what my parents did for us. It’s true, take time while you’re young to get to know people in other countries and don’t leave this for when you’re retired. Who knows if you’ll never get to retire? It was great hearing what other people had to say about life and happiness. ☮️❤️
I feel for you. It's very familiar to me what you said. I feel the same.
Parents always do the best for their children...
@@KumariKumari-fw7ncnot always...they certainly should though.
Despite what happened to you it's nice to see that you're happy for others. You're a great person.❤
❤
"you can't just lie in bed and eat cookies, you have to get up" why is this lady personally attacking me
Depression lad here. I also feel personally attacked
😅
Because you think everything is about you.
My faith has made all the difference in my marriage, parenthood, friendships, in all aspects of life, and has given me courage and hope. It’s given my a good attitude, and in so doing has blessed everyone in my life.
For me it was the other around. I was raised catholic and women are just seen as stupid servants that can be abused and harassed and should say thank you after their mistreated. Getting rid of church and religion and a lot of therapy I was able to start a life.
There are “eternal” things and there are “temporal” things. Focus and sacrifice for the eternal things (relationships, family, deposit into people, your education), and not on the temporal things (house, things, appearance).
Thanks to you
The advice at 1:40 is spot-on. My health was never good. I’m still waiting to enjoy my life, and I’m almost 30. Problem is, not all health problems can be prevented or treated well. Medical care isn’t as good as people think
Try carnivore diet if you havent
@@fjorddenierbear4832 I’m actually doing it now! It seems meat is the only thing I don’t react to. Didn’t realize that the salicylates and oxalates in plants (their immune defense) is inflammatory to me, as my body can’t process them. Explains my allergic responses to Ibuprofen (salicylic acid). Thanks for the advice :)
You really can’t trust the medical doctors of today unless you absolutely have to. It’s important to manifest good health of body and mind as well as search for alternative remedies and doctors if need be. I’ve been in terrible health for many years and decided to take my health into my own hands. I’ve managed to cure issues that doctors had no clue how to help me with. Be your own advocate and research constantly. You’ll find answers. Also, read people’s posts. You’ll find golden nuggets that could also help you. The last thing is to be grateful for your perfect health before you have it. Know that you can and will be healed and feel great but act as if that has already happened. It sounds crazy but believe me… it works. Tell your body that you love it and trust that it has the ability to heal itself. It does and it will. Blessings🌸
I gotta highly recommend Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work. He just hit over 1 million subs on KZhead, as more and more people are awakening to what is possible, including when ‘modern medicine’ has nothing to offer. Check out some testimonials/stories of transformation, and/or watch some of his interviews, or check out his books and meditations. I hope you get a chance to really feel Good and Alive like you Know you are meant to feel on the inside and outside. 💕🌟 Best to you!
Amen to that!!!! I had always been a bit skeptical but 6 years ago, BC was my wakeup call. It's what we eat, drink, wear, put on our bodies (laundry detergent, shampoo, sunscreen, etc), and so much more. It all makes and keeps us sick. Dig deep for the real truth and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
“I could nitpick to death but I choose not to do that because it doesn’t expand the relationship!” This lady delivered some golden nuggets
In my humble opinion being grateful will make the biggest change in enjoying life. Remember you’re not rich until you have something money can’t buy.
My advice is: Try to find good in the world. Yes, times may be though, but even if they are not, like 80% depends on your mind. Embrace gratitude and learn to love the world. It really is beautiful , but only if you look for it's beauty. Else, you won't enjoy life much, even if you have everything you could wish for.
My advice: Maintain a healthy marriage and raise well-adjusted children. Educate the children at home if possible. Practice a life without envy. Forgive others for their faults, even if they have deeply wounded you. And, acknowledge and improve upon your own faults - because you are not perfect. Have compassion for others, but don’t turn a blind eye to what is True. Understand that acceptance and empathy are not always virtuous.
❤❤❤❤
So be it! ✝️
Very good advice..
YES!!!!
What does “understand that acceptance and empathy are not always virtuous” mean? @thea118
Itd be really great going to countries that are not well off and asking the same question. It would really add a lot to the thought provoking content here
OMG YES
So true. As a woman in her earlier 20s in a 3rd world country. A job that doesn't fit my passion is the least of my worries. There's a level of financial liberation you have to be at in order to live life a certain way. Stability and security are necessary before you start living a liberated lifestyle. At this point going hard at productivity to secure my child's future and generating generational wealth would send me to the grave with a smile. They'll enjoy life at the expense of mine and I'm happy with that❤
Good point.
2:40 The best 3 piece of advice. Be brave, be true to yourself, be kind.
Understand that you are different people at different stages of your life. Your 20 year old self has no conception of what your 50 year old self wants. You therefore need to make choices based on the person you will become otherwise you'll look back with nothing but regret.
Live your life with contentment. Don't live with regrets for not telling someone that you love them, for not apologizing for your mistake, for not helping someone when you could. You never know if tomorrow you can see them again and can talk to them. So do it right away. Because Regret is the most painful thing you can experience in life. Thanks for your question.🙏

???@@RedaReda-vl9ff
what I've learned, invest in other people's lives, remember everyone struggles at some stage. We often don't know what those close to us are going through. learn to forgive early and do what you can for someone besides yourself! Caring for animals is great too!
Love what the lady in 2:38 says: be brave, be true to yourself and be kind ❤
"Travel when you can (when you are younger) even if you only have the opportunity to travel to less nice places compared to the ones which are most popular but you have to save and wait till retirement"
Absolutely.
I travelled when young best thing I have done, when young you own the world😅.
@@mvnorsel6354 absolutely! on and off for 10 years, worth every cent!
@@mvnorsel6354what are your worst and best things done while travelling?
Never regretted any trip I have ever taken. Only regret not doing more, but life is a dance of balance. God, Love, Family and Travel. Wanting and having new adventures hopefully all the way to the end.
My advice to others is live a slow life. Never rush anything. Life nowadays is very fast like a rat race and everyone wants to run as fast as others but I really hate that lifestyle. I want to take time for whatever I do be it marriage or raising kids or daily life I have always had a slower pace and i truly enjoy every moment of my life ♥️
I watched a few of your videos, I really love the advice from the people. Though everyone lived a different life, I was able to resonate with all they said. I am only 23, I don't know much about life, still trying to learn, yet one simplest piece of advice I would like to give everyone is "Live", live your life to the fullest, experience everything, we never know if we will get a second chance. Learn from everything, it's okay to be a stupid, it's okay to be broken. Talk to people, learn from them, get to know different culture, religions, food, music, ideologies, etc. Live the fantasy that you always long for.
🙏🏻
True and I would like to add eating healthy and investing money along the way. So many elderly people have alot of health issues that could have been prevented. It's all accumulative. What we feed our bodies determined our future health. What we save determined our future financial security. Avoid toxic people and environment too. Live below your means to avoid debt. Have a purpose in life. Don't rot in bed. Be grateful for everything. If you choose to marry know who you are before you select a partner. See her in all seasons before you marry her.
We have to be intentional with our health.
@@eileenwatt8283 I absolutely agree with want you said, Health should be our top priority, Health could end up being a bottleneck in our life, taking care of ourselves and people around us mentally and physically is very essential. And regarding the finances, having a clear financial mindset is essential to thrive in this world, and being cautious and not to fall into any debt traps is also important. But financial situation and the perspective towards money is different for different people, usually based on their upbringing. I just hope everyone lives a happy life but I know for sure that it will never be the case, sometimes I wonder how humans ended up like this, but I also think our outcome was deterministic from the get go, this is the only way it could have been...I know I went off topic but there are so many things we humans wonder about, I just hope everyone behaves kind to everyone else and try to live a honest life and be happy with they have (like you mentioned)
@@Healthyagingwithmarvin Yes health is very important, I wonder why I missed that haha
We are in our 70s now..and are so glad we went on the adventure of our lives almost 50 years ago. We went on a two week European vacation that included major cities in four countries. Great memories of enjoying the "budget" hotels (older ones in the city centers)!
Leave your comfort zone. The only way to expand the mind, keep the body healthy. Stop letting society, family, friends college, job, money, etc dictate your life! Most people remain right where they are when they retire. They got to comfortable, set in their ways to do something entirely different in their old age.
Especially society. 😢😢😢tired off it
It's easy to say.. if I do that I lost my job and lot of money, and I'll have more anxiety
@@HighTechFan_Geek I show family, close friends the most beautiful scenery, resort marina photos, even photos of my monthly bills to prove there is no place cheaper, better to live. They won't even come for a visit, usually using job, family as a excuse not to. I just shake my head at that. Once in a lifetime opportunity to do something unique, different, where I will hold their hand the entire time, if they are scared, want me to, still no desire. So, I gave up asking. One decided to commit suicide instead. Thats hows brainwashed, scared of the world many Americans are. Sad!
finding love in your circle is so true. we need to find people like minded as you. that means we need to communicate, go out more, make community out of it. Internet is not a nice place to be :(
😢
Such great advice...and I m 75...So....still learning And living...I ve traveled alot so have fabulous experiences of different cultures languages, and people's lifestyles...I,ve learned so much....BE TRUE TO YOURSELF!!..WILL...Thnx...you Are so,Inspiring
My favorite part of these interviews is the old people. Love that wisdom. Phenomenal.
thank you! - take many small steps - you can choose to be pissed about a situation, or take that as a lesson - play its always super nice to have a free conversation with a stranger that you will never meet again.
Watching the couple in blue at 18:15 reminded me what was important to me and what I wanted, to hold my wife's hand in mine everyday of our lives.
I have enjoyed your channel for many months and love that you take the time to interview those with the wisdom of life. Thank you.
I love this, it makes me happy. I'm sitting here at my job contemplating taking a leap and quitting, starting my business, being a nomad, and traveling the world. Listening to this just confirms what I feel in my heart.
I am glad your videos are focusing on the older generation...We all hope to reach those milestones.I personally think listening to these interviews and my own beliefs..that wisdom comes with life experiences and age...I love and respect the elderly,I always have....listening to their thoughts, experiences is just fascinating. I may not always agree but I listen and converse!.I am an " old Boomer" now..and I hope if asked..I can impart some thoughts and wisdom...When you are an elder you have more years behind you than in front,use that time wisely..and be grateful to see the next days sun.😊
this makes me love the sincerity humor and wisdom of the japanese people
I love this idea of asking others for advice, we all have something to contribute and wisdom to share.
Try to get the things done that you want to get done as soon as possible. I am 50 and live with my son. My mother is now 86 and she told me once to enjoy your youth as long as possible because it will never come back. My late father, he was a bit younger then my mother, told me to just get started with ( just begin/ get started) what you want and then it will be okay. A friend of us has a garden maintain company and he told me to begin (with what ever) and when it does not go good, then the second time it will go good. Regards from a 🇳🇱 in 🇧🇪.
I don’t know-I genuinely feel like I’m living my dream life 🤷♀️ I guess people want different things-but I work in community nonprofit part time, where I get to do different things that I can find fun in each part everyday-and get paid a fair wage. I have a husband who is my best friend. I have two sweet and crazy little boys. I have a nice home in a good neighborhood. I prioritize my family, and close friends, and my faith. No it’s not perfect-life doesn’t have to be perfect to be good! I am so grateful for the many blessings I have in my life-and I try my best to grow, improve and serve others.
Same as you! love my life!
I am the same, I feel I am living my dream life. All I ever wanted to be was a mum and a stay at home mum at that, I currently have 2 young children and am pregnant with my 3rd. I feel so much gratitude that I get to raise them and I know this season of life will be a small moment in the grand scheme of time. Even if it’s hard I still love it and know I will miss it so much once they have grown up
Hi Will, I thoroughly enjoyed your videos, I was immediately comfortable with the ease of which you directed and asked the questions.You totally put me the viewer at ease as well as the interviewe. I work as a Lifestyle Co-ordinator in a nursing home in th U.K., and I love asking the residents similar questions. These people never fail to make me laugh or simile every day. You did a very good what will you be doing next?
Your videos have been one of the best of the last years. Great to hear from experienced people, real people to exchange their thoughts. Thanks a lot!❤
What the japanese lady said at 7:52 really moved me, a very deep way of valuing each encounter life offers.
Omg! I'm a married woman of 55 without kids and was caught by the title HAVE KIDS... I watched the whole video waiting for the part that I thought you would get to and found out that either having kids is not really important or that you will leave that for another video! Which one is right?
Kids are not the center of the universe. ❤
Same here. Only clicked to see what they would share about kids.
Watching IG or KZhead sometimes makes me anxious. But your channel always gives me calm.
i got you.
Just came across your channel. What an inspirational message. I have been dealing with anxiety and depression for so long now, I truly wish to live again. I hope I can share your message with my son one day.
Thank you for this compilation, these nuggets of wisdom shared by these many people, are what I needed right now in my life. Thank you 🙏
Hi! I stumbled upon your channel not too long ago wheb i was trying to figure out my life. Love you questions. It helps me to learn about perspectives on life from ppl who went ahead of me. Also love seeing the diverse perspectives on life :).
Thanks for being here!
Thank you, Will. So much love and hard work put in to share such a masterpiece for humanity. I will try to keep all the wisdom shared close to my heart with a wish that you will continue your journey of bringing love and joy to the lives of others as the blessings of the new year unfold for you and your loved ones. God bless us all ❤,
❤️
Loved this video! The diversity of content is perfectly lovely. Many thanks for producing it.
I like your videos because they've most valuable advises from normal people, whom I cannot meet in real life but you made this possible. So, Thank you so much. Keep it up. Love from India ❤
Great video! it was good to hear folks from around the world their perspectives and regrets. As a 48y old definitely have a few regrets. thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting perspectives. I am happy and have lived and living a wonderful life. I wake up everyday being grateful for what I have and I grab all my opportunities with both hands and run with them.
I so enjoy these interviews that you do, and I think they’re incredibly important and valuable.
This makes me happy. I really cherish the elders and what they have to say.
Be the best that you can be, make yourself valuable.
My advice: No one is perfect so don't waste your time trying to achieve perfection. Involve yourself in things that light you up inside, & give your all to pursuing those things- Just Do Your Best. You will surprise yourself with all you can achieve. Everyone fears change. That fear protects us from doing things that can be harmful to us. Do not, however, let that fear dictate whether you attempt something new; do the new thing, despite the fear & trepidation you feel. The alternative is staying right where you are which most likely is a rut. And I agree with the people who say, "Learn something new every day." Be curious about the world in which we live, & enjoy expanding your horizons.
Love your videos, they are so sweet and honest. They truly display the joy of connection and sharing.
Thank you, this video touched me. Being in a presence of older people is so calming. It made me miss my GrandMa she was so much fun.
I’ve always said I want to travel more but when the time comes I hate the stress it involves and inconveniences of flying. So I understand now I might not like it as much as I think I do. I like my routine, I like my peace, I do love road trips in SO Cal that I truly enjoy!
So inspirational 🙏🏻 thank you 🇬🇧
7:53 this lady is extremely wise, compassionate and insightful. very good advice.
Such a marvellous idea to interview these people. Thank you. This was brilliant. Respect for you.
Love the channel!! Thanks for all your hard work!
Thank you!
My favorite is a Japanese woman who advised to treat everyone as they are important ❤
I have to give you huge props for coming up with this concept. It’s very needed in your age bracket! You can learn lots from older people who have lost parts of their life, but have much information and advice to impart
Thank you so much for posting this video!!!❤❤❤❤ I wrote down several quotes that resonated with me. These perspectives can change the trajectory of your mindset around life and living it to the fullest.❤
I love the older generation, please keep making these types of videos ❤
My advice for now is to date yourself before you date someone else and marry. Once you marry and have kids in the picture, things are different, especially if you want to raise them well. When it comes to your career, set up your priorities and boundaries. That way, you will avoid being used, and you will feel in control of your destiny and your life. Do not live for others, but be mindful of others. Only take student loans if that is your only option. You do not want to be enslaved by debt at the beginning of your financial journey. Last but not least, spend in buying and eating healthy foods. If you don't spend the money and the time on your health, you will spend them on your sickness. That is some of what i have learned so far.
Love your videos amigo and this compilation was golden 😊 Greetings from a fellow Canadian now living in Mexico 😊
Thank you so much for everything. Wishing you wonderful 2024!
As an adult who just turned 30yo, your videos always make me sad but hopeful.
“You’re always looking for that piece of the jigsaw puzzle to complete you when you should be complete to begin with.” ✊
We all know we won't be here if we have no desire to change and grow. So be happy that instead of doing the same things you do over and over or doing unproductive things. We are here seeking change and improvement for ourselves.
I love your videos, they inspire and motivate me.
Thank you!! My gradma lived well untill 107...she taught me a lot! Im very important your channel specially for new generations that are only focused on money and compare with others....Your interviews are a blessing and inspiration for a better world. the world needs more wisdom. Feel free to visit Portugal! you'll be welcome
why do old people stay home all the time?
because feet hurts@@Essays4College
@@Essays4Collegelack of money and lack of movement. When it hurts to get out of a chair or walk they tend to sit more which compounds that problem.
My advice is for people to lovingly look after their children and their senior famiiy members.
The gentleman in Japan speaking about his late father, I felt it deep. Mum, I hope you know I still look up to you, though you lived too short. Great parents are invaluable.
I’m so glad I came across your channel! I’m really enjoying your podcast and I learned so much watching this video
Your work is majestic.
That was great. Some of these lovely people brought tears to my eyes.
One of the most valuable videos at KZhead. Great effort here. -- Shah Alam, Malaysia
I did the same thing the guy who wanted to be an actor did. To the point where I gave up the opportunity to go to The Juilliard School in NY on a scholarship from my college teacher. I was about 20-21, I was also a foster that aged out of foster care and needed to work. I had to pay my last foster parents rent to live with them for a long while. Only good thing I got of that is that they were older and when they passed, I was given their house. But I need to work even more to pay for utilities, the house was paid off when I got it, another perk. But I never became the actor I wanted to be, oh well, maybe in another life, lol, wink.
You had to pay rent so you would appreciate not having to pay a mortgage for 30 years. Your foster parents were good teachers! Don't lose the house.
What a fortunate story! And, how old are you now?
Find local plays to participate or create a script with you as the lead make it a hobby act it out and film it and post it online if you choose it doesn't have to be a Major budget production work within your means and creative will feed your spirit build a community take community college classes in acting and network with other creative people believe and make it happen for yourself it's work your time and effort create that opportunity for yourself and others there is growth for you in that endever
No matter your age, you can still act, one way or another. It’s not about being famous, but the joy of acting - can be community plays, and so forth. Who knows where that could lead? If the love of acting is in you, find a theater group and join that. I have a friend who is a scientist by day, and she acts in plays. She has children, a husband, and a demanding career. But she still finds time to be in plays and an acting group. Just go out there and act. Nothing stopping you.
10:40 so much truth, 💯 percent 🔥🔥🔥
Omg..this was just mind-blowing... thank you so much for all those valuable pieces, from S.Korea.
this is great video. I always want to learn from elderly people who always have a lot of wisdom to share with us. The wisdom is valuable
Advice from me, a 61 year old guy, is consider doing what I did and invest some time in your late teens or early twenties with a skilled therapist, even if you think nothing is wrong in your life. You will save time and maybe future heartache, getting to know who you really are, what truly makes you tick and then you can more accurately make decisions for yourself in your 20s, 30s, 40s about your life in accordance with who you really are, rather than who you wish to be or who others want you to be. It will save you a lot of time and avoid making major and costly life mistakes. Yes, it's ok to make mistakes and learn from them, but it's probably best if you can avoid huge mistakes that have lifelong implications.
For people who can't afford it, what questions did your therapist ask, how to answer the questions properly therapeutically?
👏🏻👏🏻
Can't afford therapy, mate 🥲

My advice to all the younger generation stay close to God he’ll guide you on the right path material things don’t last but your actions will stay God fearing and you’ll be content

Amen!
And read Quran, you will find God way faster than meandering through other contracting sources.
AMEN Jesus is the ONLY way to salvation 🙏🏾❤️
@@Minney-Me how about the creator rather than the creation 🙏🏻
Well done Will. I enjoyed this. The 2nd interviewee from Japan said it all.
That was the nicest utube video! Thanks for such a thoughtful conversation!
