My mother died of cancer when she was 48. On her deathbed she offered her regrets: "I hate that I spent so much time at work and didn't get to know my children. I hate that I spent so much time dieting and didn't get to eat my favorite foods. I hate that I spent so much time worrying about whether the house was clean. I hate that I spent so much time worrying about what people who didn't care about me thought about me. Just have a peaceful life; nothing else matters."

Just within the past 100 years or so has humanity advanced to the point to where daily life has become much easier, with various creature comforts that were unknown to previous generations. Opportunities are much more available to the average person these days. Yet, we have an epidemic where some folks are trying to escape their reality through drugs, alcohol, gambling, pornography, even social media. Strength of character is forged in adversity.

I wish I could STOP worrying but I’ve been a worrier since I was a youngster. I was a hypochondriac so they said when I was a child and I’m falling right back into that title and it’s not like I want to, it’s just my makeup I suppose. Although I was raised by my dad he was a worry wart and he would say things like I’m gonna die and I would end up freaking out over stuff he was saying so I think he caused me to be that way but I’m not totally sure and I’ll tell you what if you can live life without worrying then you’re one lucky or shall I say you’re one blessed person because it’s horrible to worry about everything as I do I worry about my health and that’s probably why my health is been suffering for the last seven years. If I could change it I most definitely would. But right now I have a lot of health issues going on and I’m only 61 years old and I’m about to have surgery on my gums and I am stressing over that and I have leaky gut and any amount of money I have saved is all going towards my health issues and believe me I don’t have much money and I don’t trust medical doctors all they do is push drugs on you without finding the root cause of your problems so I worry about doctors and hospitals and try to stay away from both of them

I'm 74 years of age. The two most recurring themes in this video of older peoples' advice for younger people is, "Do not care as much what others think of you.", and "Do not delay doing what you want to do in life." I can say these two pieces of advice are actually connected. In other words, we often delay pursuing our actual passions because we fear judgment from friends and family about choosing a less "regular" path in life. And conversely, we often do things we aren't actually passionate about just to appease the judgment of others. One of the hardest things to do in life is to cross the valley from your social support shaming or judging you for not being who they want anymore, to the beautiful place on the other side where a different social support network arises who love you because of your identity in the life you ACTUALLY are choosing out of passion and love. Life is short. Begin that shift as soon as possible.

Most older people have been humbled by the idea of their mortality. As death gets closer, it starts to feel like nothing matters anymore because in 10 years you won't be here. I think its important to take their perspective and meditate on it as much as possible.

If you really invest time and energy into taking care of yourself, aging doesn’t have to be a difficult process. This requires being brutally honest with yourself about how healthy your diet really is, if you’re really exercising as much as you should (cardio is not enough! You need to weight lift), how well you cope with stress etc. You can get away with “abusing” your body in your 20s but it really does catch up with you in your 30s and especially 40s.

It took a long time before I realized I had a lot to offer the world by being the real me. Though the sum of your experiences in life will shape your character, you were born exactly as you were meant to be. Embrace the real you.

The most important thing in my life was to be my own person. Every hobby that I fell in love with I made my occupation at some point in time. I did still manage to marry and raise a family. But the best advise I gave my children as they were growing up was to do and be what they wanted, not what anyone else wanted. They are all successful and have great families. I followed what I loved at the time and had careers as a auto body repair person who opened his own shop, at 42 years old I became a flight instructor and charter pilot, as I alwyas loved flying. I also had a great love of music and played classical and jazz guitar all of my life since I was 15, so naturally I taught and did some playing in various venues. At 60 I became a minster and started a wedding's business. I married over 800 couples and also had a small church. At the same time I became a DJ and karaokee artist for the weddings business. After I retired I started a small home repair business to make a few extra dollars. I had always done my own repairs so I made a few extra dollars to supplement my SS checks. My best advise at 81, do what you love and the money will follow. You will also die happy, although I am not in a hurry.

But now I don't really care if I made the wrong choice, because I know it will pass and I will fix it and I don't give a hoot what people think of me. You can only please yourself.

Being unhappy is not the same thing as being ill, sadness is just a part of normal life🙌🏽

I could have learned to speak Ukrainian/Russian AND Italian and I regret never even asking them to teach me.

It's not uncommon for people to look back on their lives and realize that their parents were right about many things. It can be difficult to appreciate the wisdom and guidance of our parents when we are young and eager to assert our independence, but as we gain more life experience, we often begin to see the value of their advice. It's important to remember that parents usually have their children's best interests at heart, and that their advice is often based on their own experiences and lessons learned. While it's natural to want to forge our own path in life, it's also important to listen to the advice and guidance of those who have come before us. It's never too late to learn from the lessons and experiences of our parents, and to honor their memory by living our lives with integrity, compassion, and purpose. By embracing the values and principles that our parents instilled in us, we can continue to grow and learn throughout our lives, and make a positive impact on those around us.

That's such a bad advice. There's A LOT of rude and unhelpful elders out there. Perhaps you could hear what they have to say, but you have to take it with a grain of salt because many times they think things still work out the same way things did 40 years ago

At 76, I realize I can size up people in the blink of an eye and am rarely wrong about them. Wisdom really does come with age.

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.

I've always hated my birthdays, but I just turned 44 last week and looked at it completely differently... I felt fortunate to make it this far. a lot of people I've known were never fortunate enough to make it to their 40s. be thankful for what you have today because tomorrow is not promised.

@@mw3027 That depends on what kind of mistakes people make. Some mistakes have lifelong consequences which do affect people’s future lives. Such mistakes may even be the cause of how people die. For instance, drug abuse is a mistake that can affect one’s health even after they quit using drugs. Past drug abuse can lead to illnesses such as kidney failure, heart failure, etc. Killing someone could land a person in prison for the rest of their lives. So some mistakes do define one’s future.

Learning from elders is priceless. Thanks for sharing this wisdom-packed video!

At 51, I've come to realize that money is a tool. I’ve worked so hard over the years to realize that if you don’t make money work for you, you can’t experience true freedom. I’m glad I found that out although it was later in life, but that marked the turning point in my finances.

My biggest regret: Never completed my Art Education and Sometimes, taking advice from those who see life differently than me.

Best advice I was ever given was to 'Hold lightest the things you love the most' Took me a while to understand the meaning of the message but it has shaped the way I've lived ever since those words were spoken to me.

I’m 50 and my biggest regret is not treating the people that came into my life in my 20s the way I should have…

I am eighty five and I would say there are no mistakes that people make..Only lessons to be learned. Whatever you did is fine, because it got you where you are and 🧒 are still alive.

I wish I had gotten therapy in my early 20s to come to terms with my childhood abuse. I could have come to terms with my experiences and developed coping skills instead of just bumbling along for decades. To young folks: Treat yourselves to a few therapy sessions. It feels great to have someone ask thought-provoking questions and point out things that don't occur to you.

Biggest regret for me was taking jobs I didn't like and staying there for years. Biggest accomplishment was quitting smoking and living within my means financially. Being debt free is a huge plus!

I am 61 now and I feel the same as I always have. I think that is the thing people do not realize! We look different as we get older but that doesn't mean we ARE different. Also, don't assume anyone is wise or not wise based on their age. Plenty of people get older without ever really learning anything, and plenty of younger people are thoughtful and wise.

WARNING!!! HELL IS REAL !!!!! Where will you go when you die? We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus Christ loves you and He died for our sins. If we will repent of our sins and put our trust and faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and we will be saved. ROMANS 5:8 Even when we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

In my 60's now, I've learned the older you get the less relevant you become. Kids get older, grandkids get older and we old people become irrelevant and forgotten

Consumerism made everything and everyone expendable. I'm 48 and I love having older friends. So much knowledge and also more overlap than I would have with younger folks. Get you an older male/female friend. They are a riot.
