[@michaelgonzalez7240]

I graduated HS in 1972 just wishing to be rich or invent something everyone wanted. Now soon to be 70 I look back and I can see that no matter how hard I worked and all the extra hours I put in I never could get out of being middle class. I missed out of our children growing up and I was out of so many pictures my wife took of those time. My advice to young people is that the system is not stack in your favor and at best most of you will just be average so learn to live the moment. Life goes by really fast, and you will leave life as you came in it nude, alone and penniless. So, enjoy every moment as if it was the last time cause it is, because you can't go back.

Ultimately if we all feel that way about all other humans, think how awesome our world would be. Selfishness and greed brews contempt for others where as love provides true remedy and purpose ❤

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I would also add, "Continuing to care for the person even if you're upset." I see so many people who would watch their spouse drive off a cliff and not bat an eye when they're angry. That's not love. Love is still getting up at 4 AM the morning after an argument and packing your husband's lunch for work because you know he gets low blood sugar and will likely skip breakfast and lunch if you don't. Or bringing your wife lunch home and handing it to her silently because you know she's not ready to talk yet.

[@ginosalihbegovic7137]

People can’t find peace because they are looking for it which implies it’s missing. You can only seek what you have lost that’s why seeking love itself is not love at all. Love has more to do with letting go than holding on and most don’t realise that. If you can’t life without something you are depended on it , many won’t like to hear this but what most humans are is they are addicted to someone they are not in love since love is the only thing that can’t hurt in this life. It’s just not possible , anything that hurts can’t be love and anything that doesn’t let you be in peace is not love as well. I wish that he can let go of his wife so that he can be in peace out of love for himself since his wife never would want him to suffer.

"Me included I guess"😢 Beautiful interview. I will be 70 next year. In 2002 I lost my dear husband of 21 years to cancer at 47 years of age. He was the man of my dreams, so I have never remarried. The year after he passed away my mom passed away. A year later my dad needed me to live with him, as he had become legally blind. We had 8 1/2 wonderful years together and then he passed away at 91 years of age. My heart was broken again. So I can very much relate to this man’s thoughts and feelings. Later in life, I also learned to trust my "gut feeling". It is a gift.

This man is one of the luckiest men to ever walk the earth. He clearly spent his life with a remarkable woman, and they clearly had a remarkable marriage.

I knew early on in life about setting goals. My father always said, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." He was very driven and wanted his kids to be, too. He achieved many things and has trophies, certificates, and degrees. Would you like to know where all his trophies and whatnot have been since his passing? They're in a cold storage facility down the street in boxes. I'm paying a monthly rent fee to hold onto his achievements as I only have room in my small home for some of them. I achieved every single one and more of my goals. The problem was that those goals trumped relationships. Relationships suffer because they have to go on the back burner when you're driven to achieve your goofy career goals. Like this gentleman in the video said, balance is key. You have to live in the moment and only look so far ahead so you don't get stuck. Keep moving forward WITH those you LOVE. Make relationships priority #1! GOD is Love, and HE gives us relationships to sample what it's like to be loved by HIM. Jobs come and go. LOVE is forever.

Live in the moment - That's the best advice.

[@taniafiffy590]

I really hope the best for this man. He has so much perspectives on his side of life & many will relate to his.

[@Yingchuk-n9g]

Just love it,keep doing, and keep motivating us 😊 lots of love from Nepal ❤

[@dannymeyer3256]

Very wise insight he has shared. Losing a spouse you loved and shared your life with is one of life’s most difficult experiences to heal through, I see he is greatly hurting from his loss. I have been there too.

[@JG-mt3rp]

He's brilliant. What a gift that advice is.

[@gholmes182]

Lovely man. I feel your sadness and pain.

[@firstdawn8638]

What a lovely man. I wish him lots of love and life.

[@betsyhood1548]

I really connect with this guy, very similar life and values. Although I am the future thinker at 67 and my husband is in the moment, at 70. Been together 35 years.

[@ludvanlazarz]

What an absolute sweetheart of a person ☀️ thank you!

[@beckinfidelis3916]

😢😢😢 Makes me cry. I can feel his "aloneness".

[@TickleyourBuds1111]

I lost my wife 7 years ago, we loved to travel, just the 2 of us. So I still travel, alone. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her. And I still say goodnight to her every night.

[@kathymurphy7217]

So lovely, may your heart heal and your memories enriched. Hope this interview helped himself as much as the wisdom he shared.

[@dannpd1955]

Im 69 years old and have had similar experiences in life. I totally agree and relate to everything he said. I can see that he is a very sweet spirited kind man. There are few in this world and in these times. God bless you both in whats coming for this country.

[@anaishoui]

thank you for sharing this extended version, God bless this man that kindly shared his wisdom, I just want to give him a big hug

[@lastmashstanding2155]

I hope you gave him a big hug at the end of the interview. Bless him😥❤

[@christopherwall444]

Beautiful....I'm 67....goal setting helps doesn't always have to be career....can be fitness oriented...serious hobby oriented which means the desire to be good at something using free time collectively not watching lots of tv...

[@jdkrxw]

Much respect to this guy's wisdom. He's also a great communicator.

[@boboharperoldbobostillhere7588]

I've been with my wife for 46 years and can't imagine a day without her. She's been by my side since I was 18 and she was 17. When we were married (after a long time dating), I wasn't just marrying the girl I was in love with, I was marrying my best friend. It's the advice I've always given to other people getting married, if they aren't marrying their best friend then they shouldn't be getting married. Life can be both wonderful and hard. It's easy to be married to someone when you're head over heels crazy in love, but it's that deep, meaningful friendship that carries you through those hard times. I have never unfaithful to her nor her with me. It may be easy to cheat on someone based on physical attraction when your relationship with your spouse was based on the same, but nearly impossible to cheat on your best friend.

[@lauramitchell6725]

Ditto for the entire content of this comment!👍

[@nunyabiz-]

🤩Your last sentence "easy to cheat when your relationship was based on physical attraction, but nearly impossible to cheat on your best friend" Wow! Brilliant! 🌞

[@bellat4076]

I'd like to requeat you to tell this gentleman to make goals and follow them today. As a person in my 40s i just started learning violin and a lot of people that i am in contact with in these violin learning groups are over 70. Bad or good, you never know when your time comes. So please, set your goals now and work towards them. We see that you are also in good shape and looking much younger. So go for them. I hope we see you not in tears but happy and motivated next time. Thank you for all your good advice. And sorry for your losses.

[@mismatmom]

Giving your late wife a wonderful marriage and being a supportive husband is an amazing achievement. There should be few regrets here. Congratulations, you did not spend most of your time chasing meaningless idols. This world needs more of you and those five people in your life have been watching and learning. Thank you.

[@Kim-h2m]

I could talk to the gentleman all day. I love listening to others story's.

[@jonathanstranovsky]

I can totally understand the loss and how this man answers all those questions. My partner was instantly killed on the 5th of May 2021 by a city bus driver while she was crossing a pedestrian. I was in depression for ten months day and night, but at the end of it I just had to let her go. ''I understand your pain Sir.''

[@MARIANSCATLIFFE]

I understand your pain I was married for 38 yrd yea

[@MARIANSCATLIFFE]

Know my husband died of covid miss him. Rip Edward
