9 Things That Don't Make Sense After 61!

9 Things That Don't Make Sense After 61!

[@fscyber]

I stopped trying to please my family 6 years ago, the relief I feel now after doing what feels right to me and what I value is amazing

[@CrimsonRaven51]

Agree with everything except physical appearance. I ‘m 73 and remain physically active in the gym and hiking in the forest. I keep up my physical fitness as well as appearance because this gives me joy and pride that at my age I still get compliments on my fitness. Not a preoccupation but a long established way of life for me .

[@MsWarbucks]

Physical health and appearance and mental well-bring are related. None of these can ever be irrelevant. All the best. May you always be healthy, fit and well turned out!

[@sundarraman6206]

Hats off to you 👍

[@Makeitmakesensejo]

Me too at 71 I am active and dress nicely I believe I should be and look my best once I step outside. With that said I love and obey Yeshua Hamashiach the ruach hakodesh ( Jesus) and that carries me pass the physical, the flesh is temporary thank God. Be blessed.

[@kenvrinten3450]

If you are serious, and honest and really are a fitnees fanatic,you admit you are getting old and the body isnt the same as in your 20s or 30s. Just look at your face in the mirror.. unless you want that phony look with a hundred operations like Nancy Pelosi

[@bridgettetraveler658]

Your health is part of your wealth. Ppl believe in physical fitness generally live long than the unhealthy ppl who have to take a meds because their health has failed them. Be Blessed!!!

[@marciamellow1211]

I am 72 and live the way I want..more peace..my home is still very important...I still love designing and still shop almost everyday...self reflecting is my answer...complete introvert,happiest I have ever been..A very blessed life❤

[@douglasspringer1665]

If 61 is the first year of being old, I've been old for ten years now. Oh well, still here and kicking.

[@Patricia-413]

Thank you for this! It's not an accident that I happened to come across this video. I'm 64 and will be 65 December 2024. I've been battling with do I want to retire or not. I despise my job and am done with office politics and busting myself to make crazy money for the higher-ups. When I can get on medicare, I'm going to take some time off or get a simple part-time job. Blessings to all reading this.

[@laurenduvall8547]

Happy almost 65. I will be 65 in December 2024 as well

[@JackReich]

1. others' expectations, 2. accumulation of material goods, 3. unnecessary social obligations, 4. preoccupation with physical appearance, 5. unsatisfying activities, 6. negative toxic relationships, 7. comparisons with others' lives, 8. unattainable or irrelevant goals, 9. blame for prioritizing our own happiness.

[@bebahojt]

Not being materialistic saved me from toxic relationships. I could always walk away. Toxic people are always into power and accumulation of wealth. They don't understand people that they can't control with these things.

[@normapadro420]

They need to tell this to younger people so that they don't feel they need to be in that loop. I'm 58 now. I learned all of this at a young age. Nothing is so important. Following others is a race that never ends. Trying to keep appearances is an illusion it's not important. What's left after everything has faded are just meaningless memories. Not important. When my hair was turning silver someone asked me if I was going to dye my hair. I looked at them, and said no. I earned this, and I'm not going to pretend to be young. I'm old. They didn't like that answer. I didn't care.

[@rayc9899]

The truth about ageing is you do what ever make you feel great, I love dyeing my hair, taking care of my skin for me, I don't care to please nobody but myself.

[@ColleenWalsh-k2i]

Awesome. I'm 55 and I'm not dying my full head of gray hair anymore!! Fuck em

[@patriciavandevelde5469]

When i looked in the mirror and didn t recognize myself anymore,it sucks,sucks!

[@jangriffin-fi1yx]

I love getting older love all wrinkles & grey hair glad I am not like anyone else don't care what they do have. Best part is inside the body ❤ outside takes care of itself if keep fit/healthy. I have earned it all not going to hide it all just because I have grown older. Have never dyed my hair I like natural only wear small amount of makeup as prefer no masks but admire others who apply it well. I am proud to be me love myself kept strong & healthy over my life found only way to go - By living this way meant I could look after all my loved ones was able to cope be happy with myself & that was always top priority paramount to me as family everything ❤ True beauty comes from within ❤

[@juliafisher5844]

Sounds very defensive to me .. and why are memories meaningless to you ?

[@PenelopePitstop1965]

I started this last year...I'm 59. My recommendation is to start earlier. It's actually very liberating.

[@barbsinclair7352]

I try to tell my kids this, the sooner you can get over what others think, and you do you, the freer you will feel.

[@lorriew]

I’m 59 and I’m totally here. Sometimes life brings you here sooner. I had a brain tumor 15 years ago and got divorced the same year. Coming through the trauma changed my entire outlook.

[@normaortega2271]

Thank you for these nuggets of wisdom! I am 63 and started embracing the changes you suggest when I turned 60. And my life & health has significantly improved. I am just so grateful that I now have the opportunity to take better care of myself. Thank you for reinforcing the way I am living my life and loving every minute of it!❤❤❤❤

[@lucindamoran8686]

I am 69 and have always done what l wanted to do and am not sorry! I still have fun! Work partime and go to the gym! I like to read books play guitar! I have a lot of fun in my old age! I hope l live to be 100! I am grateful for every day! I was married once 30 yrs ago,it didn't work out so l am happy single! Never had kids! I don't care,l babysat since l was 11 through college that was enough for me! I had cancer for 4yrs,the last 2 yrs l have been well,so l have been busy enjoying myself like l did before l got sick! I feel fortunate to be alive by the grace of God and some good doctors, 8 of them who helped save my life....🎉😂Thank you for these wise tips!

[@jpparadise6004]

Chill, life is only what you want. My big awakening was when I understood that I am totally in control of how I feel and how I respond to anything and everything that happens in life. I never let myself react to life. I found this to help a whole lot. You are God and you are in control. Love yourself every morning and tell yourself that you are divine energy.😎👍🙏🎶💕

[@claudiopvazquez2556]

When i was younger, 20s or 30s or even 40s all I wanted was to make my family happy rich in a monetary way so I would work allways but, I should've done is just work 5 days a week 40 hours. Then spend quality time with my kids now I'm 60ty years old and 1 of my children has passed! I miss him every day and night he's with God! I should've spent more time with what really matters! I love my best friend and son who was born with autism he was all love and peace and so innocent and beautiful. These children with special needs are clean in heart ❤️ no malice at all ❤ love you, Vincent ❤️ until I see you again, son ❤️

[@tinaroberts5858]

I'm so sorry for your loss 😢. My so has aspergers. I understand. My heart breaks for you. Many prayers 🙏 ❤️

[@Opeoluwa-o6y]

Your story is quite emotional for me, particularly to hear that your son passed unexpectedly. But just know that, regardless, you were a great Dad, working out there all the time, just to give your family the Best of Life. May his soul rest in peace!

[@judiruthmeredith6427]

65 and enjoying life. Agree with everything in this video. Thanks!

[@thisislogout]

I semi retired at 56, then got a part time job in a pizza factory. I finally retired at 60 years 9 months and it's true for me as well. I like being older because people respect us a little more. Also, in my 50's I used to feel disappointed that I don't have more expensive things (big house, expensive car, more money, etc.) now I don't care about those things. I enjoy solitude, one or two friends, and being in nature walking, riding my bike, taking the dog for walks, doing exercises in the neighborhood park at sunrise.

[@marianmcgill7263]

Started for me at 55 I'm now 59 I live in a studio with very few things but everything I have I use and every quarter I revisit my counter and discard anything not being used .

[@wgj0510]

I donate what I get rid of in good condition

[@MainelySpiritual]

I'm almost 59 and I'm starting to feel these aspects coming into my life. Your thinking and perspective on what's important starts to change as you reach 60. I love who I am more now than ever 😊

Not everyone gets to age... Time is precious, use it wisely 🎁

[@FaustinaLewis]

This is food for the soul..Thanks for sharing ❤

[@manjulanigadi720]

I turned 61 just two days back. But since 55 only, I started to let go off things not required, stopped worrying about unimportant things, about others' opinions, about unreached goals. I am happy about the way I have led my life, proud of it, I never compare my life with others. I am happy and contented with what little I have. Happy to have a caring and loving husband and son. No more expectations😊

[@malizassebakiggye7784]

The freedom to be..... I turned 61 last month. Over the months i had started decluttering my life of stuff. I feel lighter and really feel really blessed when i look back, and plan to really intentionally counting my blessings 😊

[@sallyclay1974]

It's amazing how, when we r young, and socializing, raising kids, setting goals, traveling, etc!, how important everything is. When we get to retirement, We see friends and family, pass away, and we slow down, and , not deal with drama, as much.Im retired in Danbury, CT. , on a fixed income. Ive had alot of deaths, in my family, in the past 15 yrs. My elderly mother, my ex husband, my younger sister, to Lewy Body Dementia , a male friend , in Cali. I am alone here. I have a sister in Austin, TX, a brother in Brinnon, Wash, and my daughter, in LA. I'm learning to be more patient in life, and not worry about problems, that may arise.

Truth is - why wait to 61? Seriously 🙄

[@MsCGarnica]

It only depends on when we wake up. And smell the roses or coffee. That we finally realize it's all true, it's about the journey we're taking and NOT THE (Final) DESTINATION. NOW WE ARE OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER, JUST WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS HERE.

[@pujapete3665]

exactly....the best comment

[@Makeitmakesensejo]

No where does she mention “waiting” until you’re 61… this is coming from one person’s perspective, there’s no “science” behind what she’s saying… embrace what resonates with you✌🏾

What I don't like is when , you hear what they say about the older celebrities. Look how badly they aged. They don't look as good as the use too. They are older some fatter. How good are they going to look when they get older? Some of the elderly have survived Cancer, Have to take medication that makes you fatter. And keeps the weight on you.. Or some people no fault of their own don't age well like others do because of their genes. I no longer watch those videos that put down older celebrities any more. Listening to people talking down about the elderly

[@ildikoholicza2661]

That is just projecting their own fears and insecurities

11:20 hit home...this ENTIRE video has echoed the sentiment I've had for years. Definitely hasn't taken me 61 years to realize this, however, I've known for quite some time that I absolutely will NOT live like this at 60 or better. Life is way to short and I intend to live MINE just as others have lived THEIRS. Love, Light, Peace and Blessings🥰

[@mwebb3014]

My mother’s attitude in regards to spending money was that you should have something to show for it. Spending on experiences was a ridiculous waste of money in her mind. I bought into this and spent my 20s-40s buying all the things that would make my home look upper middle class. Yet all I really wanted to do was travel. So here I am at 60 and I’ve never been to Europe. But I do have 5 sets of fine china and three sets of lead crystal stemware. I never entertain but my dining room is fabulous. Hubby and I are now downsizing and finally planning a European vacay or two, maybe three, in the foreseeable future! My past experiences and those memories make me rich.

[@mkelly4042]

You should rent out your dining room n fine China for people who live in an apartment n would like to entertain. Lol

[@meenakshirao6460]

I am not 61, there's still some more time for that. But for the past one year or so I have been doing all the things listed here and wondering about myself, wondering why I was changing so much. I was asking myself if I was getting old, if I was cutting myself off from life and society. Thanks to your video, I have understood what I was subconsciously doing, healing myself, living a better life, living a life that was uniquely me and living every moment of it with awareness. Thank you so much for your support!!

I think social media has made it harder for us to accept how we look and just get on with the natural aging process. There is pressure to continue doing so many things that may no longer serve us well. This video makes so many good points that, at 68, I hope I can actually put into practice. Especially, the letting go of the accumulated belongings of a lifetime. I know my kids do not need, or want, most of the items I might be leaving behind. And, I don't want them to have to deal with it! Now, if I could just get my hubby on board the decluttering train! 😅

For 25 years, I hauled around the machinery from a closed tile manufacturing business. I finally left it stacked up at a storage unit dumpster for someone to find or use if they ever figured out what it was. I think it was because I had spent my late mother's inheritance on it, so many years before, and letting go of it, was letting go of her...P.S. I really want to let go of social events, but my ex-debutante wife won't let me...I told her "I don';t want to attend, I want to travel..."

[@Paul-v8v4j]

Life is about struggle. Man against nature, man against man, and man against himself. No matter what age, life pushes us out of our comfort zone, you know, the place where we actually learn something. Many people do not advance in consciousness over their entire life, some even regress but some learn the lessons life is offering them and they move on. Many refuse to accept the lessons presented and the same lessons are repeated more intensely, either in this life or subsequent incarnations. Many people with very difficult lives are recalcitrant in their acceptance of life's lessons. No one achieves happiness by pursuing it because it is a side effect of doing your duty and you get to decide what that is. We were created by love and for love so although life is hard it is not cruel. We are forever.
