Biggest takeaway for me (aside from what I already know) is that you don’t have to be afraid of love not working out because hard times come and go and doors open and doors close. Everyone learns about love at their own rate I guess
Im so surprised with 6 children she lived that long ... each causes so much stress i would have thought? Goes to show its all random... theres never a formula like humans like to believe.
Gold!!! took me years to get that. Didnt like being away from work until I realised nobody cared and if I fall sick and cant work, I will be replaced. Now, if someone asks me to do something and I have scheduled a rest, I say am busy or am booked.
This is the God's word, Deuteronomy 5: 12-15: "Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Jehovah thy God commanded thee. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest as well as thou. And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God brought thee out thence by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day." (ASV) You ain't just doing something. You're following the God's commandment. Genesis 2: 1-3: "And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it he rested from all his work which God had created and made." (ASV) The rest is blessed by the God. The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why deception and violence are everywhere. This is the reason why liers and murderers feel good while righteous persons are persecuted. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our loved ones again! :-)
In Africa, people don't get surprised at the age 100+(as you always meet them). But it always astonishes me. Greetings from Ghana ( your african colleague RU-vidr )
Absolutely. I HIGHLY recommend making sure you get to know, really know, as much and as many family members of theirs that you can. It's super telling and like I tell my children - these people will also be in your life for a very long time, make sure you can stomach the people with their thoughts and ideas and behaviors that will be around not only you but your children as well.
I agree with this. I became a widow when I was 62 and decided to move back to Australia to be with my granddaughter and daughter. I was grieving but caring for my 3 year old granddaughter gave me a purpose in life and I felt freedom to live my life as I wished. In 2012 I met a man online, and we have been partners in life and love since. We dont live together but spend several days per week together. We have a loving and supportive relationships. Today we sat in the park, enjoying the sunshine and the trees around us, there was even a new Gymea flowering which we’ll watch its’ progress over the year. I think that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is very important, keep moving and eat well. I still cook and exercise 3 x times weekly at the gym . wth kettlebells. AT 82 I feel contented with my life - as the motto goes: “Have someone to love, someone who loves you, something to do every day or be responsible for and take care of yourself.”. Greetings from Australia
What I love about her attitude is she is so grateful for everything; that part where she says she doesn't have a favourite food but is just grateful to have food; is truly humbling.
The irony is that she mentions times of no food, and now we know fasting is strongly correlated to longevity, she probably went days, maybe weeks, without food, and therefore triggered the mechanism that promotes longevity
❤️Success is not built on success.. It's built on failure, It's built on fraustration. it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life…🇺🇸
I was married 42 years!! Lots of unfaithfulness. The Truth set me Free! Thank you Lord!! I cared for a precious lady from 101-103. Loved it. I have 27 years to catch up with her! 🥰
I didn’t get married and I’m not planning for marriage this lifetime …. But I know my husband would respect this for me to …. Marriage isn’t for me … commitments … having children … In a world where everything corrupted … I know my happiness won’t be in these things at all … There no point lying and pretending…. How many people get married and wish they never was ( majority) In the Hindu tradition were a magalsutra and sindoor is so holy sign that a women is married …. No one wear it anymore in this century… Who are we kidding to just pretend …. Because everyone done it and I should to ( no I m not interested and I hope who ever had my destiny destined for … respects that marriage and kids this lifetime is not for me at all ) I like my alone time …. I like my freedom… let me be universe Maybe in the next few lifetime if I come back and we’re in the golden ages of real love … then perhaps But not this lifetime… it’s really not for me at all 🙂
Her husband wanted a divorce after 46 years and 6 children!? Now that is just silly. Definitely his loss. Well, she’s still here enjoying life. ❤ Miss Gladys is a sweetheart.
Hmmm I didn't see it that way at all. She wrote him a letter a year and thanked him, clearly she has found the value in finding her self. He obviously was not happy after 46 years of marriage and had the strength to pivot in his seventies to find that happiness, they seem to be both where they want to be, we only have 1 shot at this thing called life. the pursuit of happiness is your responsibility to yourself, try not to leave this world...wisha coulda woulda
Wonder too if her ex is still around... the divorce may have contributed to her long, deep and meaningful life... very inspirational lady... we can learn a lot from the wise lady ❤
She probably was a bad wife... the average man just don't leave his wife unless it's something drastic. Everybody had their story. She's older and wiser now.. so she talks a good game.
Wow, this made me teary-eyed. "When you take a rest, you're not being lazy. You're doing something. You're actually taking a rest." As one who used to get yelled at if I ever took a nap and was called lazy if I wasn't constantly doing something, I still get anxious if I think about a nap and feel like I should be doing something "productive" instead. But her simple little words just set me free. Thank you.
❤ my heart goes out to you. I hope that your body, your breath, your cells learn that you are ok when resting. That you are safe. That you are still a precious, valuable, lovable person when resting. It may take time and encouragement, like positive self-talk, making it extra cosy maybe with a certain scent or music or a candle, but I really hope for you that you find that peace and take it back. It was taken from you, take it back 🙏 have a good day
@@voyance4elle Thank you for your sweet words. I'm learning to find rest in the presence of God. The world is full of brokenness and sometimes it takes much of our lives learning how to undo the damage, but it's encouraging to know we're not alone. May God bless you as you have blessed me
I need that to sink in for me because I do feel guilty when I'm exhausted at 69 and I'm thinking of taking a rest from constantly doing things around the house, like cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc.
I WAS married to a man that would say to me if I rested “ are you sick “ and tell people we were around “ who her she’ll be in bed by 7 pm. I was exhausted trying to raise 2 children ,1 with special needs. Working full time. Trying to blend in a new marriage while dealing with my X husband. This marriage lasted 3 years. I just wanted to take the kids and go home and I did.
Probably reason why many people clicked on the link... it's still a nice video. Being careful in who you marry is good advice, despite her not mentioning it.
That last line is everything...."I don't have much, you know here, but I've got the whole world." If people would internalize even a small bit of that mindset, then they would be so much happier. That sets you on a path filled with gratitude, and it will change your life. The wisdom is staggering.
Yes.indeed, gratitude is something we should have every day. Be grateful for what you have, be grateful that you are alive, be grateful for simplest things.
Interesting video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t, I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her.
its difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation, my relationship of 12 years ended, but i couldnt just let her go i did all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual counselor who helped me bring her back
Why did she leave you? No! You can and will get over this. Well what do I know. YT won't post my replies anyway. But 5 years isn't THAT long. Why weren't you married? Gotta go.
l am 78 & my husband passed out his body 6 years ago. I miss him but l don't grieve. Just the world of trees & flowers is lovely. Keeping that sense of awe & gratitude is key.😊
I have a question that I've been wondering for years. In these past 6 years without your husband, do you feel as if you have more time though your day to work on thing for you? Do it feel the same as when women get divorced? Although I know it's different because he didn't hurt you or leave you intentionally. But the time spent being a wife I heard is not the same when you're single. In your situation it's different of course but do you feel more alive and free??? Thank you in advance if you can answer my question. I really appreciate it.
Mental health is important… of u don’t take care of it … no1 will do it for you …. Health indeed is wealth …. Without health u cannot thrive at ur best ❤
We need our old people like this to give us wisdom, encourage us, give hope for the future and just pure joy to share time with. Thank you, a wonderful interview.
Her "Memory Lane" is filled with precious people, places, and things that no one "can ever take away" from her. We all need that special place to travel in our hearts.
My grandmother will be 103 October 2024. She is such a beautiful woman. You are 1 of a special group of people that are blessed to live into your 100s.
I love her mind at 103! She reminds me of my Grandma who died at 100 and who never got her drivers license so she walked her whole life and never took pills, she said they made her sick. She was independent until 2 weeks before her death. ❤
I am 72, alone and struggle with many medical conditions for over 30 years. It gets me down. Dear lady you have inspired me so. I will start placing things in memory lane. That is a good one. I have been without food three times in my life so even making a tuna fish sandwich brings me joy. I appreciate your advice and look forward to another 20 years. LD
This woman was endowed with a high quality genetic disposition. She inherited longevity because everything in her body works efficiently, her mind, definitely her gut and her spirit. She just banked on it and enjoyed it. She seems like a very nice person so I’m happy for her.
Nothing is 100% inherited, life style matters A LOT. It has been proven that your level of physical activity, what you eat, fasting, etc. influence (changes) your gene expression. You can reprogram your genes
A wonderful lady, Dr Gladys. My husband divorced me after 30 years of marriage. I can relate. I found renewed meaningful work and it is still carrying me through. Very satisfying especially in retirement. What retirement! Dr Gladys does not talk about her faith. If she were a Christian, she would. That is a concern. Where will she spend eternity? With God or without God. We are eternal beings. Without God is called hell. With God, she needs an entrance ticket. His name is Jesus. No one is perfect. We all sinned. Jesus paid the penalty for our sins. Is there any other religious leader that did that? Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by him. A quote from the Bible. I will pray for Dr Gladys.
*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
“Keep moving” one of the greatest advice for long life. That’s why I don’t believe it when someone says “I’m just too tired to exercise” or “I don’t have time”. If you wanna live long you gotta eat healthy and keep moving.
She reminds me of my great-aunt, who lived to 104. Another amazing woman with an amazing mind and attitude towards life. She didn't get to study past middle school but if she had been given the opportunity, I wonder how much more impact she would have had. She volunteered at a children's hospital, she had her own small business for a while, and she could crochet like no one. She crocheted my son's baby blanket when she was 99. Tía Chela, you would have been 110 this year. We miss you!
What a beautiful person! She’s a gift to those she touches. God bless her. I’m 52 and this interview reminds me to appreciate everything I have. Thanks for sharing.
Being in my late 20s and always anxious and frustrated, I find this video to be a goldmine. No doubt life is tough but having the willpower and purpose can help overcome any obstacles.
She is my inspiration. I'm 63 and have set a goal to try to live to 100. People always say... Why? Think about how OLD you will feel, you will probably be sick and helpless. Well maybe? but maybe not. Look at Dr. Gladys. I think setting goals mentally and physically, keeping mentally and physically active and having that wonderful positive attitude that life is amazing is what will keep a person going.
Example of being able to live with family support. Without her son, John, then unlikely she'd still be doing this well. Guessing her son is pretty old too. Good thing she has her mind so sharp. That's a true blessing.
She the cutest woman ever. She have lived and witnessed so much and has accomplished a lot. At her age to remember that much and still have ability to speak of how we all can make life a positive way of living, is so astonishing. Her knowledge is infectious. I could listen to her chat all day.🌈☀️🥰❤️
My Great Aunt died not so long ago and she would've been 103 this in December. She lived through so much in her life, though her smile would light up a room. Her laughter would fill a room. She never complained and loved all of us so much. She was always hopeful.
Dr. Gladys said it best during the interview: contentment. It's about contentment. Yes, we have our ups and downs, but you MUST find the light and within it, contentment. That is the key to peace and longevity. 💜💫
She's an absolute joy & I love her wit, wisdom, humor, empathy & her sense of fulfillment. She's a blessing to hear & see. Thank you for this, it is truly inspirational & needed. God Bless her✝️🙏🏼
I can recall when I was homeless and faced with many things in Life until $75,000 biweekly began rolling in and my Life went from A homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer!!!!!!❤️❤️
“ALL OF THE SUDDEN I HAD A NEW IDENTITY “ THE BEST THING THAT I HEARD ! HONESTLY ITS NOT WHAT HAPPENS TO US , ITS WHAT WE DO WITH IT !!! AMAZING SOUL SHE IS ! BLESS HER 💜🙏
Interesting perspective. After seventy plus years and having lost two wives to disease, I consistently ask myself why, of all people, am i still here? What Gladys said to me is "I am not thinking about my life correctly." As a septuagenarian I can continue on without fear, or blame, revel in the shared memories of my life and of those who I shared the experience, and as Gladys advises spread that light we find on our individual paths. I was especially moved by the challenges she meet by being unafraid. World War Two she said had considerable bad news for everyone. She learned she was not alone and was able to deal with the fear in that knowledge. We are all afraid at certain points in time. Gladys's fear of hunger resonated with me the most. If you are hungry, though no fault of your own, you just keep looking for the "light." That may sound a bit non-specific, but I understood what she was trying to say. We are not hungry alone. We learn to share and make the best of our common experience. There were other nuggets of advice I took from Gladys's perspective, so I saved a copy of this video to reference from time to time. I am not confident my life would last anywhere near one hundred years and that is not my goal. All I ask is to depart this world with the peace of mind that my life was worth the journey and somewhere, I was able benefit my fellow travelers with what I had learned.
Dr Gladys, you are amazing ! My parents were your brother, Carl’s students in India, at Christian Medical College Ludhiana. Dr Carl Taylor was my father’s hero. He set up a rural medical centre in Narangwal village in Punjab and my parents were in the batch of 1953 MBBS course. I am their eldest daughter. I am enriched by hearing you talk on RU-vid. God bless you, stay happy and healthy and involved. You’re beautiful. Sheena.
She’s soooo sharp! My goodness. Her pace of speech, her clarity, her mental processing power is just amazing. My goal is to live to 100 and I want to be like her with her level of health and mental clarity and strength when I get there.

I cried. I suffer depression often in the darkest path but when she said find the light I think of my husband. Nobody will ever understand the will it takes to want to keep living without the darkness eating you. Everybody is different. But when I tell everyone I live to see my life with him nobody understands why. But for me he’s my light. My purpose is to love my life with him and everything in it because I know I’ll be able to learn to love, laugh and smile. Wherever life takes us I know I’ll face it with him.
I’m sorry, babe but a man shouldn’t be your light. The light that you live by, that makes you yourself and strong should come from you. Not another person. That only means that when they’re gone karma darkness will ensue. I’m not saying that you guys will break up but
Beeing divorced at 70 years old is so ashaming of this husband after she gave him 6 children ❤️🩹 but the way she put herself up is giving me so much selfesteem for myself.
Awww my great grandfather passed away at 104 but I was too young to ask him questions about life. This lady is lovely, absolutely lovely and so so happy I got to watch this video
She is so wise; look for the light instead of the dark! That’s exactly it in a nutshell. Second love; the love for oneself and others.. Laughter is so important and share… We forget as we get older to laugh, to be a child and laugh as a child…!
Her response when asked about her favorite meal is what defines gratitude 9:30 . What the world sees as enjoyment is nothing but the pursuit of passionate lust!!
She wrote Books include "The Well-Lived Life","Living Medicine", "The Physician Within You" and "Born to Live and now "Well Lived Life" Gladys Louise McGarey (née Taylor) turns 104-years-old this year. Born in 1920 in India, and the daughter of two medical missionaries. she is such a wonderful person.

The sister of my grandpa made it to age 101. She never married, had no kids, ate a diet consisting of coffee, cookies, veggies soup and fried meat. She was skinny as a bird and walked everywhere. A man who worked for a distant relative made it to age 114. He started working for the family when he was 14, expend his day running errands in the household and ate a simply diet of Mexican food. He only died because he caught a bad cold during a storm ☔️ So yes… simple eating and basic exercise/having stuff to do goes far 😊
Oh my. This lady is going to make me cry. Her wisdom is endless. I really felt the part about looking for the light till you find it. It’s so true! Never give up, even in your darkest times. The strength you lend others will come back to you.
Thanks for doing this lovely interview of Dr. Gladys. What a beautiful soul. Her positive mindset and outlook on life is inspirational. To always look for the light (hope) in the darkest of places, to have a Purpose for living, to cherish Memory Lane so you never lose your loved ones…true nuggets of wisdom.
So much respect to this awesome lady for giving wonderful advice on how to live and love. At 103 years old, she is amazing and her children are lucky for having such a smart and lovely mom. Her heart twinkles even if she has wrinkles ❤
"Don't lose the light. Follow the light. And love is always the great teacher. So look for it. The hard times come, but they go too." - Thank you, Dr. Gladys. I think I really needed to hear that, and remember life is not a downhill slope forever, but it is made of ups and downs, stops and gos.
If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life

There is a reason this interview is longer than his usual fair. This woman is 103 and amazing! my grandfather lived was just shy of 107. He was also also sharp as attack. Keep going, Gladys! You do have things to say and people to teach. We are so grateful you were here! Thank you for interviewing her! Good luck with your book launch.🚀
This video is so precious. One of the beauty of online media nowadays is that we can have free access to such pure and wise wisdom from brilliant minds like hers living in a different part of the world...Thank you for sharing this. 'Follow the light / look for the light. Whatever we look for, we will find'.
G-d loves this beautiful and radiant lady; so full of grace and wisdom. She is in good health, have great mental fortitude, and what a gift of gratefulness and optimism. Thank you.
In a world where men shame and blame women who are still single, all you need to hear is “be careful who you marry” from an old wise person and you know.. you’re on the right path…
It’s not just men, I also get scolded by women because I am not nor ever have been married. I have no desire to ever be married and also am not interested in any kind of romantic relationship with anyone. Been there, done that… moving on!
I will always always prefer to be single than to be with someone who makes my life hell. I’ve been single for over a year after five year relationship that was abusive. I can tell you I’m not rushing to go back into anything. You never know who you are really even after years. People will switch up on you, especially in modern era.
Dr. Gladys McGarey recently authored a book, "The Well-Lived Life." It's a very inspirational look at her life as a young woman in medical school and coming of age in a world that did not embrace female physicians. She details juggling her medical career as she gave birth to and raised six children along with her husband, while delivering hundreds (maybe thousands) of babies in her own medical practice. My big takeaway from her is to live with love in the light that brings reason and direction to my life.
A very fascinating video, this brings back painful memories which i have been enduring. My relationship of 6 years ended 3 months ago. The love of my life decided to leave me, I really love her so much I can’t stop thinking about her, I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life , but to no avail, I’m frustrated, I don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts of her, but I can’t , I don’t know why I’m saying this here, I really miss her and just can’t stop thinking about her .
Parting ways with someone you deeply cherish is an agonizing experience. I understand firsthand, having encountered a parallel situation at the end of my 7 year relationship. Driven by an unyielding determination, I explored every avenue to salvage our bond. Seeking guidance from a spiritual counselor proved pivotal, as their intervention played a crucial role in rekindling our love.
I'm sorry for your loss. The fact that you grieve for someone shows that you know how to love. I don't know that if she and you will return to the same relationship you had had. Sometimes people grow apart, things happen, circumstances beyond your control. But you will love again, and this person will see how wonderful you are. Continue to work on being a strong, wonderful man, find curiosity in the little things and someone will also be curious and share that with you and a relationship will grow.
She is an amazing woman, I am 51 today I was married to who I thought was my soul mate and we we have two kids and I believe we were happy we talk every day because he travels, then after 12 years of married he call me out of the blue he want a divorce. I was shattered for trying to build a house and growing two kids. It took me years to get pass it I was in the dark yet I knew there was a light. This lady inspired me because I have the same spirit that she does once you see the sun up rise with the sun keep on going because that is your light. I do love your spirit God bless you and may you enjoy your days that God bless you to live.
Dr. Gladys interview was so inspiring and by far the best I've ever heard. She needs her own podcast to share w the world her knowledge and love of life.❤
My grandma was also born in 1920, but she passed away in 2010. Seeing this video reminded me of her a little, and Dr. Gladys seems like such a sweet lady. Her family is lucky to still have her
Thank you allah , i'm remember to pray doing better in my life don't disgusting about problem , sure i have second change to better in my life . Alhamdullilah . :)
Wow.. thanks RU-vid algorithm for recommending this video randomly. Lately I am “closing the door” for some reasons, but this interview reminded me of my belief “no matter what happens this world is wonderful” and opened my heart to this world again. I guess this video is what I need to/should watch at this moment. One of the greatest video and thank you for an amazing interview!
