At 81 I can agree with Mel, but I am glad, satisfied I lived a life of fun, outdoors, meeting folks from other countries, memories of all my pets who also filled my life. Getting to know Jesus, I am more content,
knowing where my real home awaits me. Stuff, stuff, stuff, get rid of it, its not going with you, so you won't miss it. Lighten the load and enjoy breathing. TVB
Voice doesn't fit the man. AI.
Powerful message!
great advise !
The message is good, but the video is AI generated, judging by the voice quality and familiar pattern of his head nods. It's a familiar movement I recognize from a lot of AI videos. And it's strange that in a video about simplifying and decluttering your life, he sure has a lot of stuff in the blurry AI background.
He's got a good sense of what this life really is/was. Thanks Mel!
I'm 82 and I agree with what he said 100%. I just "discovered" it myself when I was 81. That must be the magic age to finally realize that perfectionism doesn't matter. I remember apologizing to my niece once about some clutter in the house when she came to visit. She said, "Auntie, I came to see YOU. I could care less about anything else." My perfectionism has gradually given way to a more realistic lifestyle resulting in a calmer more personable me. I wish I had known this when I was younger. I feel I wasted a lot of time being up tight so as to please or impress others.
I agree to everything he said. I'm, 84. Life is now, not tomorrow and yesterday is gone. Live your life today, there may not be a tomorrow. Life gets shorter with each second. Don't waste it.
While I too believe in these principles, they are easier said than done. Unfortunately for me, I still keep trying to "matter" without being able to articulate "to whom?"
Great life advice. With age, comes wisdom.
Excellent video! For those of us who understand this, particularly something that truly comes with old age, people will observe that we greet total strangers who we see in public with warm smiles and stop and ask after each of those people as if we had known each other all our lives. Yes, we have let go of the burdens of worry. Thank you for sending this excellent presentation. I hope that the young readers pick up on it. Example: When I was thirty-five our youngest was born. I had a fun job that took me traveling at least once a month for a week at a time. I realized that I was not with my family. I gave up the job because the greatest job in life is to raise the next generation. Despite the stresses of work, I never lost my goal which was to be with my family and extended family. Young folk: Follow this man's advice. I learned early.
excellent philosophy - I'm 83 and definitely agree. Thanks for this one
At 89 I have already arrived at your conclusions. Your entire narrative is full of wisdom, though much of what you say has already been said in a different way by Solomon, the wisest man ever born. While you present true observations, the tone that came across to me was a bit negative and fatalistic. Life has a purpose, and if we learn what it is, and early in life, many of the difficulties are not what they appeared, even in the real time of the past. As I contemplate the remaining time ahead, I am still very much concerned over all the billions of souls that are going to spend eternity in a condition of absolute hopelessness and torment, because they did spend all of their life around what the p***age of time has revealed as trivial. I am full of enthusiasm and looking forward to the time of my transition to the eternal life of the spiritual man, because God has made that destiny abundantly clear. I am very concerned about such souls, which have completely discounted the spiritual existence, who have never read or understood the scriptures, which unfold the mission and intent of God.
So very, very true! Thanks Mel.
There is one thing to consider, ‘Remember now thy creator.’
How I needed to hear this
today! Thank you for sharing!
Deep, Mel, Deep! And BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks for ALL you do!!!
Sending LOVE to ALL!
Wonderful and useful suggestions. Thank you.
I am 83! Excellent advice. Some points I have already learned! Hang in there, happiness gets better with age!
Thanks Mel . This gentleman is 6 years older than me and
I am already feeling what he is saying !!
You start to realize that a lot of your "prize possessions"
are gonna end up in a thrift store or a dumpster !!!
Stay Safe ! C. G.
