This video should be mandatory viewing in schools and colleges. Excellently done.

"If you live in the past, you're depressed. If you live in the future, you're anxious. If you live in the present, you're at peace." Fuck, man. Spot on.

"Can you define the word love?" "Wishing the best for the other person."❤❤❤

Having your mom until you’re 70….wow ❤😞

I love how the interviewer stopped in the middle of the video to acknowledge the conversations that were being shared and to cause us to reflect. Awesome job!

Not a single person spoke about money, property, cars, skyscrapers or wealth! Love them all! 😊

I applaud you for giving older people a voice! The society tends to forget them.

My grandmother is 92 and bed-ridden in a nursing home. I asked her what she does all day. She said she mostly thinks about the days when her kids were young. That short window of her life was the most meaningful and memorable. That was eye opening

I lost my mom suddenly to a heart attack last October. She was only 62 and healthy. No signs or symptoms, it was a day like any other. One minute I was talking to her while she was eating and drinking water on her bed. I walked into my room for a minute and when I came out she was gone. You really never know, my life has never been the same since. She was my best friend, my mom, my teammate and we loved each other deeply. I can’t explain the feeling I have now that she’s gone. Cherish the time with people you love because you really never know.

I'm only 40 but, I wish I could tell my younger self ...Quit being affraid of everything. If you want to talk to a girl, just do it. If you want to say something to someone, do it. Most people let fear rule their life and don't even realize it.

The man in red t-shirt broke my heart when he cried remembering his wife😢

"What costs us the most to do, that's what we need the most." Ooh, boy. Truth bomb.

The older generations are the greatest untapped source of knowledge and wisdom.

to the lady in the white hat who said that what we need is usually in the effort we‘re avoiding out of fear or boredom or laziness - your words resonated so hard

To the guy in the red t. shirt, you achieved something huge; you made your wife happy and feel loved ❤

I wish I remembered the source, but I came across a study surveying people in their 70s, 80s, and 90s that asked them what time of their lives they missed the most. The most common response was their 30s. They missed having people rely on them, need them. They missed having responsibility and a sense of purpose. I'm in my 30s now. The things that tend to stress me out the most are having so many responsibilities and having people relying on me. Learning about this study helped me appreciate that the things that stress me out today may be the things I one day miss the most. Ultimately, I've learned that every stage of life has special aspects that we can enjoy, and a secret to happiness is focusing on those things that we have worked hard for and on those things we may someday miss - even if they're imperfect or cause us stress. It's a helpful practice to frequently reflect on the things we take for granted and to express gratitude for those things.

It's been eye-opening to realize how each withdrawal hinders the potential for my savings to grow through compounding interest. I now see the importance of meticulous planning, considering factors like inflation, healthcare costs, and a solid investment strategy. This is the advice I'd give my younger self

I once saw an interview with Betty Davis. The host asked her “does age bring wisdom”. She quickly snapped back “if your stupid when your young, you’ll be stupid when your old”. 😂

Bloody hell man, give that man in the red ferrari polo top a big hug.

The fact that this is filmed in Westmount park, which is in one of the richest neighbourhoods in Montreal, yet none of these people (who probably live there) talked about money, wealth etc. Love that ❤️

Met an old guy walking my dog he looked in 80's he was like me but I was in my 40s no kids, no one close, he told me have a family your regret it, your so called friends will not be there for you in the later years. I got to know John over 17 months before he died and went to his funeral. It was me and his carer it hit me hard and I promised him I'd act on his advice. Today 8 years later I have been lucky and blessed I have a great partner 3 children and a lovely family, my only regret is that I should have not listened to the media, corporations and so called friends and wished I did it sooner. Thank you John for your advice all those years ago.

"Youth is wasted on the young." I take care of senior citizens for a living and while it doesn't pay that much, the relationships that I've made over the years are priceless to me. That generation is very lonely and have tons of wisdom to offer. It's sad how neglected and left behind it has become.

11:00 "she ended up choosing some good people, me included I guess..." - damn... I started tearing up too.

No one talked about their work or career... That's what moved me the most 🙂

Look after your back, knees, teeth, hair. Accept you have long-term responsibility for your health and finances even if you can't plan beyond 1-2 years into the future. Social anxiety is normal for a large population, so 'dance' with it until you build confidence. 50 year olds still have fears, pains and problems, so get used to the idea that your fears are far more commonplace than you might expect.

"What would you tell to your younger self?" "No! Everything was perfect. It led me to my present self." Wisest woman in this presentation. Perfect advice.

In my job as a doctor, I am fortunate to get to talk with the elderly about their loves and worries and fears often. As a 31 year old, I think something I try to do is not to think as these people as old people who are seeing me, but people my age who are now in an old person’s body. That closes the perceived distance which, to be perfectly honest, is an illusion because we’re all closer than we think to each other. This was a wonderful video.

I'm 57 years old & embracing getting old. I have friends in their 80s and I'm taking their lead. They are active socially & have relationships beyond their family. This keeps them going & attentive. Yeah, we can eat better and exercise, but #1 is focusing on relationships. Finding your person to share your life. It's a good feeling. I'm lucky to have found my person 30 years ago. The down side of having a long marriage is that we get to the 'death do us part' and it can be heart breaking.

Having your mom with you to age 70 is a huuuge blessing! I hope he heals well and I pray I get to enjoy my mom for a long time as well. ❤

I love the woman who talked about pursuing what takes effort, and also that she wouldn't tell herself anything because she likes where she wound up. Truly inspiring.

I am alone. Because I’ve gained a lot of weight in the last years. The more I was gaining weight, the more I became lonely. I’m 34 years old. I think is time for me to stop thinking about others but think about me first. I want to loose this weight and retrieve my true self. I’m afraid to go older and not doing it and regret it. I wish everyone health and love.

God bless the man in red T-shirt because he’s definitely going through a rough time. I wish the best for him.

"If you live in the past, you are depressed. If you live in the future, you are anxious. If you live in the present, you are at peace."👏

I feel sorry for those who lost their loved ones and feeling lonely😢

That first guy 88 !! NO way ! He looks amazing, More than 10 years younger. He did something right.

My mother is living with my grandmother when she is 70 right now, and my grandmother still treats her like a child and takes care of my mother in her best way.I can tell how happy my mom is.

My grandfather was 97 when he died. He lived a great life, full of work in different places that I can't even imagine, great energy and a loving grandpa. Sadly he had already lost all his brothers and sisters, wife (my grandma) and friends, he was very lonely if you think about it, of course he had us his sons, daughters and grandkids, but it was not the same because the people who would share memories with him of his youth were no longer there I hope I get to live a good life like him, but I kind of don't want to live as long because it really feels like it can be very lonely I miss my grandpa and granma, but I hope now they are together with the people who better understood them

That “gut” feeling and him realizing it was him breaking out of the matrix, learning the ability to say “no”. Grabbing life by the balls.

I like how that guy said if you are still creative and benefiting someone Then you are not aging Love that

When I watch these videos I feel like I’m an 85 year old travelling back in time to my 30s and realizing I get the chance to live my life again. Thank you.

I didn't know, I was going to click on this video before work and cry my eyes out. I'm 45, I've already lost both my parents and much of my extended family. I'm grateful to have the most amazing husband and 3 beautiful children. Thank you for these videos, you have no idea how much they mean to those of us who no longer have the older generation in our lives. They have so much wisdom

This is beautiful. I want to hug the man who was emotional about his wife. His pain and love for her is palpable. She must have been a lovely person. 💜

I want to give every person in this video a hug, I was tearing up listening to this. Older people are far more interesting than young people, honestly.

The 70-year-old with the red shirt and dark grey baseball cap brought tears to my eyes. I could relate to so much of what he said. Nice man.

He just happened to pick some of the coolest older folk walking this earth today. What a video. The gentlemen who lost their wives had very emotionally evoking thing to say my goodness.

I am literally in tears and I am only three minutes in. 😢 I just set an alarm to call my great aunt this afternoon. My great uncle died about eight months and they were married for 52 years. ❤

What I got from this: Wow! Wishing the best for someone. Keep producing. Everything has a beginning and an end. Enjoy your life and do what you can. Be patient with others and yourself. Follow your gut. Follow your expansion. And balance.

I read once a proposed reframing for bearing with the loss of your partner. By being the one not dying first, you have saved your partner to go through the suffering you are going yourself through. I thought it was extremely powerful.

The interviewer has such a sweet spirit. God bless you

The lady with the white hair and sunglasses is exactly who I wanted Tilly (my book character) to be. She's got a lot of wisdom. ❤️ Advice to younger self: you don't need to be impressive. You only need to keep growing into yourself. ❤

I want to be as humble and as wise as this interviewer. In this materialistic world, this guy has chosen to introduce us to the essence of life in its purest form. Thank you.

Please, don't stop doing this, your videos helped me through dark times. Bless your heart and thank you!

I'm "only" 60, but I see people around my age falling apart because they sit too much and don't exercise. Walking is a great exercise - brisk walking, not just strolling with the dog. If you can, you should take your body for a walk every day, and lift weights a few times a week. Now the rubber is really hitting the road, and I see the difference between people who have treated their bodies well and those who drugged and drank and overate. Bodies are just machines, after all.

I'm 57 years old. I honestly hope I live long enough to see the younger generations change this crappy system we live under. I might not live long enough to enjoy a world where people don't have to suffer and starve and work themselves to death, but I would love to be around long enough to see that world come into existence.

"Maybe if i had had them, i might have actually achieved them..." That struck a chord in me!

I just turned 70 and retired over 2 years ago. I have felt lost with no sense of purpose. The new president of the company I had worked for asked me to come back, which I did. It has been great the second time around. I am much better at my job now than ever before. I plan to be more prepared the next time I retire.

For anyone watching this and feeling utterly heartbroken at the loneliness some of these people feel, I'd urge you to give some of your time reaching out to your grandparents, or elderly neighbour's, or give time to your local aged care home. I visit a few residents fortnightly in an aged care facility close to my house and I can't tell you how much I enjoy my visits with them, and they have told me the same. As society we need to do better at giving our time to connect with people so that it's baked in to how we exist as a community.

In tears. Thank you for the video. That’s why I wanna make friends with seniors. Talking to them brings me serenity and joy.

I am never impressed by what people wear, how much money they make, the things they own... but every once in a while, someone shares some insight, experience, or wisdom, and I can't help but be fascinated and in awe. Character and strong personal values matter more than anything.

I've been married for 30 years. I don't know how long I would last without my Wife. Seeing how much pain these guys are in, makes me even more nervous... Time is a clicking clock that never runs in your favour. Hug the one you love often, never argue about pointless stuff. And always tell her you love her everyday....

Love is "wishing the best for the other person" is beautiful. I also love the humility of the host. Honestly a video that I needed right now.

Didn’t expect to sob through this video. Sending much love and light to everyone ❤

This is very sad to watch, but they are so INCREDIBLY lucky to have found love. I've had to face a life without love and I would have given anything to have found it. These are the luckiest people in the world.

Touch is important. Touch someone's arm or hand. Give them a light hug. I lost my husband about 12 years ago, and I can count how many hugs I've been given since them. We need touch.

The red shirt guy really brought tear to my eyes, I didnt expect it.. wish blessings to those interviewees.

I have watched other people interview older people and enjoy yours the most. You seem to put your heart into what you are doing, interested in what they say. Someone who will take their advice knowing you can benefit from it. Thanks, enjoy your interviews very much I might add I am almost 76 and these people are spot on!!

What I see as the common denominator with these people is that he runs into them when they are OUTSIDE. WALKING. Hello! They are vital, vibrant, and, literally, getting out there. They, for the most part, have taken good care of themselves. They are dressed well, because they respect themselves and the people they might run into. Good, no, GREAT examples for all of us. As far as eating alone, you don't need to. Call a friend. Start a dinner or lunch club. Here in small-town Indiana every fast-food joint has a group of seniors eating breakfast every day. In a big city it should be even easier to connect. Regards from Indiana!

I'm surprised none of them said "have kids" like in the thumbnail, let alone the fact that none of the interviewees even alluded to it.

These pure and kind people made me want to give a big hug to each one of them

Best advice was from the lady with the white hat. "What we need to do most is what will take the most effort from us, the one that scares us and what we don't want to do"

This one I identify with … I lost my husband three years ago this July 17th 2021 … and it’s so hard! He was 78 and at the time I was 73. Massive heart attack … gone suddenly … to say the least … I was in shock for a year at least! My world was turned upside down! Your feelings don’t die with them … we were married 40 years and I miss him so much! I love your vlog … very enlightening and since I am now 76 … easy to understand their views! Thank You for doing this! You’re helping a lot of people … 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

I live in that solitude which is painful in youth but delicious in the mature years - Albert Einstein. SO TRUE! I’m 70, divorced, retired, living alone with my dogs…and happier than at any point in my life. I feel so free with no obligations to any one or any thing. Definition of success in my book!! I meditate daily, practice the piano daily, and exercise. Oh, and eat. I learned how to be a better cook. I can die tomorrow feeling blessed.

This street reporting is the heart and soul of what content creation stands for.

Love, friends, family, and good health. None of these gifts should ever be taken for granted.

“Enjoy the moment !” “I would encourage more to trust your gut feeling.” “Risk It! “Do the right thing!” Well said 👏👏👏 great advices

If you live in the past you’re depressed if you live in the future you’re anxious and if you live in the present you’re at peace! LOVE IT!!

The lady that says what costs us the most effort /trouble is what we need to look into /deal with . I felt that!

Love this! I work as a physical therapist in a hospital and work a lot with elderly people. Exercise & maintaining a healthy social life will give you the best quality of life as you age.

It's so beautiful to see people that have or had long loving relationships! I think that's the hardest thing to find today : (

So true call someone thank you for sharing I’m in my 60s We’re not here for a long time and don’t forget to say I love You..Be yourself and do good things

This was very insightful. Thank you to all these people who offered their advice. The best quote I heard: "If you live in the past, you're depressed. If you live in the future, you're anxious. But if you live in the present, you're at peace. Focus on the present." ❤

These people are so right. I am a 72 year old nurse that chooses to still work, BECAUSE I WANT TO. As long as I can remember, I have had wonder & curiosity. Keep moving, keep exploring. Kindness, empathy. Have a good wholesome code of ethics, be true to yourself, be accountable. Hang out with people that have good, happy personalities, and who are genuinely GOOD. These points of view have served me well. I have been trying to cruise thru life having few regrets; so far no complaints. Thank you for these videos, I REALLY enjoy them.

I'm 39 years old and to care of my Mom with Alzheimer's for 20 years. About 10 years into taking care of her I took photos and videos of her. About the last 8 years I made sure to kiss her every time I left the house everyday. Now that she's gone I have tons of photos and videos. No regrets about how I spent time with her. I could've taken her outdoors more but she was hard to pick up and take her out of bed.

Very nice people, also in good shape and with much spirit and lucidity in them. The man would kept getting emotional about his wife, so nice and touching. What a pity they couldn't enjoy more years together. But the important thing is they met each other and it was wonderful, because wonder/awe in life last forever, just as love. Some experiences in life are so precious we treasure them and they keep making us happy and grateful for the rest of our life. 😊

I love the comment “ if you live in the past, you’re depressed. If you live in the future, you’re anxious. If you live in the present, you’re content .” Well said! God bless them all. 🤍🤍🤍

Thank you🙏 Hadn't spoke to my mum in a little while Decided to call her after watching your video ...turned out she was down with a fever. Glad I spoke to her. The world needs more videos like this 🙏🙏

I'm 59 and stopped dating 9 years ago. I'm just done with all of it. It doesn't work for everyone. I have no regrets. i have inner peace.

Living in the present , being calm, leave the rat race, let those you care about know that you care about them , help out , assist those in need , get 100% out of debt (dont feed the beast by paying interest), pray daily and read from the scriptures, eat right , be acrive , be gratifull, be caring and kind, imagine Jesus the Christ and try to think and act like you imagine he might. Endure to the end .. I'm married to the wife of my youth and the choice of my heart 47 years. Still going strong... knock on wood.. .

I love how the interviewer stopped in the middle of the video to acknowledge the conversations that were being shared and to cause us to reflect.

I hope I am not the only one here who wants to give a hug to everyone answering the author's questions or at least suggest them all to be hugged, just for the matter of appreciation of that short time with these polite and wise strangers

Ooooh l deeply feel for the 1st two gentlemen. Loneliness and Anxiety /depression is real

What an incredible group of people and so generous to share their wisdom. Your ‘time out’ was very thoughtful, Will!

As an Indian, who was fed with prejudice that Westerners don't live with one spouse for half a decade, this video brought me tears. I dare say these elders have a much better character and courtesy than my own grandparents.

I lost my grandma exactly 2 months ago today, she was 97 and lived through so many things. I’ll never forget her smile, her hands and her little white head. She taught me, without even realizing it, to enjoy the moment and the simple things, have patience and to always treat older people with love and kindness.

Wow - I loved what each person had to say. Such beautiful people. When my wife passes or if I pass... I will be distraught. She is the love of my life. Seeing their grief was so insightful and honest.

Bless those old people with love, health and happiness. Their advice is gold.

"If you live in the past, you are depressed. If you live in the future, you are anxious. If you live in the present, you are at peace". That was one of the best advice I have heard in a long time. That phrase could've come from Seneca. Great video!

I love the guy that said don't be afraid to fall in love. Great advice ❤

Thank you so much for this. We dont hold our seniors with as much regard as we should. I just turned 60 and it really messed with my mind. Like one of your guests said, i too never had a real "goal" or "passion" my family is my greatest achievement, i am proud of that. And the way that gentleman spoke of his late wife.... well, that he feels that kind of love, thats one big achievement many will never know.♥️

4:35 "If you know how to challenge your creativity and you make others benefit from it, then youve defeated age" - Wow! Thats a quote worth screenshotting and remembering! That is amazaing for a older person and younge rperson i have to admit!
