WHAT TO DO AFTER 60 YEARS OF AGE 

So great to read this. Thank you for sharing it with us

So tell me how true is it ? How are you doing and how is the weather over there ?

Dear Christine, thanks for your honest and open sharing. I believe there are no coincidences in life and that life only offers us challenges that we are able to facd and grow from. I lost my father in 2017 and I know how devastating that can be. On the other hand it opens for us space to explore and learn many new thongs. Turning 60 has been one of the most freeing experiences I had (until now) which allowed me to discover new thongs about myself and the world around me. Allow yourself to look at this period as a new beginning and getting to meet yourself as a new person (which you are) without expectations or demands, just as you would meet someone new and see what come out for you. Just think about it as going on an adventure... would love to hear how it went for you

Do you mind us talking? I'm somewhat at that point too...

i feel the same in 2 years i turn 60 i feel i wasted my life. no savings no family . divorced . and live alone . feel lost but i have good health and decided to try making my passion a new career goal. photography has always been a favourite hobby of mine so im doing a course in it at this moment . so eventhough i am very depressed about growing old. i am keeping myself occupied and hope to become self employed by the time i turn 60 . its not growing old that bothers me its how young people perceive me? if that makes sense?

Let me tell you all something. Death is an enemy and is not natural. We were designed to live forever and not age. I know what a lot of people are going to go ‘ Oh no not another Christian ‘,!!!! ‘ but before you jump to this conclusion, just let me say that God is real ! I’m not a gullible person and believe in things without evidence and proof. As an example of evidence, archaeologists in our time have discovered so many items that support what the Bible ( Gods Word ) says as happened in the past. They’ve even found Noah’s Ark which was from the Great Deluge when God had to flood the entire Earth because of the way the majority of the people at that time were living, but talking about the deluge is going off the point, but there is especially in our time so much other evidence as well. Now let’s go back to the beginning of Man, Adam and Eve who God created. When Adam and Eve were created, God meant for them to live forever and to inhabit the entire Earth along with populate the Earth. But when Adam and Eve broke the only 1 rule that God set for them, and the only rule was not to eat from only 1 tree. When they ate from that tree they sinned and that’s why we have inherited sin and as God told Adam and Eve that if they eat from that tree, they would surely die. So Adam and Eve eventually grew old and died, so that is why people die because they have inherited sin. But I have some good news. God’s original plan that man lives forever on Earth is still going to occur. Please don’t think that what I’m telling you is superstitious and only a fairytale, because there is no way that God doesn’t exist, and instead of dwelling upon things like age, and it’s the end of life, because it doesn’t have to be that way. It doesn’t have to be that way at all ! There’s hope !!!! Hop on your computers and take a look at JW.org and over time you’ll discover that God is real. Gain hope 😊

This is an AWESOME list!!! Curious to hear how it goes for you

Better start young to think about it... isn't it???

@@MindfulnessPlace hahah true

I wished I had watched videos like this one at 14 and had started thinking about life . You will be way ahead !!

Please live your life and try to laugh a lot and don't take things or yourself seriously. You have so much learning to do and so much belly laugh to digest😊

🤣🤣🤣🤷🏽‍♀️

You got this!

Wonderful! Lucky for you about your genes... you can join the "Lucky Sperm Club" on that....

@@MindfulnessPlace hahaha 🤣

Great to hear that Csilla

Wonderful! Let us know which direction you're taking

Better early than never...

No you don't want to be an old hen your young and beautiful now these are your best years to come . Enjoy it while you can .

@@MindfulnessPlace that's your opinion growing is depressing and you lose mobility even if you bike or walk no way are u gonna be able to keep with a young girl .My niece can bike 20 miles and day and still have time to play tennis with her boyfriend. No wants to deal with old hens you'll often get ignored and treated with no respect from others.

😂 you made giggle!!! So intuitive 😂😂 I wonder what technology will look like in 43 years! Keep healthy and you will definitely live to a ripe old age!! Cheers to 100 yrs. Young

You are so welcome!

My pleasure 😊

So, it's a good time to start doing what you''re passionate about Steven. Curious to know what would you do?

Lol you don't look 61 bro😒

WOW! Nony! That sounds AMAZING, quite an adventure to take. Thanks for sharing it with us and would love to hear how it goes.

Mindfulness Place sure

Happy to hear that. Curious to know what would YOU do?

Glad it was helpful!

Yes, definitely @Yuvraj... Curious to know what was your biggest insight from this video

My pleasure!

You can still do all this JAn... I'm 62 this year and just started a new course in Cambridge online courses... and our plan is next year to take an RV and explore the down and under continent - Australia...

@@MindfulnessPlace Thank you for the encouragement! I love the class idea and will definitely look into that. Getting my nerve up to start cycling now that the weather is changing. One decision leads to another! :)

Great to hear, Veronika... Which are the ones you’re already doing? And... anything we forgot?

Hello Veronica 👋👋😊

Wow, Thea... This is incredible... So inspiring. Would love to hear more about the mindset/attitudes you developed/had that made all these possible...

Hello Thea 👋😊😊

Hello How're you doing

Great to hear....

Thanks a lot

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing it with me

Thank you for your honest comment Aurora. Obviously going through a divorce is scary AND at the same time you should remind yourself that you've done it before and survived (and maybe even thrived for a while). You need to keep reminding yourself that you are stronger and braver than your mind gives you the credit... the proof is... YOU'RE STILL STANDING!!! Starting a new chapter is always scary. What we need to remind ourselves is that fear and excitement are the same. The difference is that in fear we stop breathing while in excitement we breath (A LOT... Think how we scream for joy on a rollercoaster)... Take a deep breath and do the things that you want IN SPITE of the fear and you'll find yourself excited.

WOW, Arina... thank you for sharing this part of your life. Very inspiring. Looking forward to hear more about your exciting life journey.

@@MindfulnessPlace in 2020 it will be walking in the NL from South to North

@@ArinaAngerman Hello Aruba👋👋

Hi how are you doing today

WOW! That's an exciting journey to take. Hope you trust yourself enough to do it and most of all enjoy this ride

You can do it alan!

Wonderful to hear... curious to know what she would decide to do...!

Wonderful! @Azza, so great to hear this was helpful. Curious to know what tips would you give people...

My advice is ....Don’t ever say (it’s too late ). because as long as you are breathing..it’s never too late .😘😘

Glad you liked it!

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, my deepest condolences. However, though buying an RV can be expensive, but if you use your creativity you'll find there are so many things you can explore and be adventurous with that do not involve money... I've always believed that you don't need money... you need... CREATIVITY!

Great to hear that... You know that you don't have to wait until you're 60 Deirdre... Would love to hear what you chose to do...

@@MindfulnessPlace I subbed and I am definitely here to stay and SUPPORT 💛💛💛

WOW!!! Thanks for this inspiring and valuable comment Gourmet. Would love to hear how do you keep such a young mindset?

Are you scared of death?

I'm 14 and I'm scared of death

@@renameagain5808 Hi MOKLAPP - I am sixty five. I think nearly everyone is scared of death but some aren't. For instance my mother as she got into her nineties was ready and wanted to go, as she had lived a long life. I too was very scared of death when I was your age, but am not as scared of it now. A priest at the time said to me that all your cells are replaced every seven years anyway, which, while not exactly true, is at least partially true, and that might help you in thinking about it. Also if you are not religious well we came out of nothingness so would just be going back to that. And religious beliefs are a comfort to many. All the best

@@chrisj8764 Thanks so much for taking your time to tell me this. It helps a lot. Hope you're well :)

So beautiful to read, Daniela. Would you be willing to share a bit of the mindset/attitudes that helped you take 60 as such a great opportunity for a new life? That would definitely inspire all of us...

@@MindfulnessPlace At age 38 I was burnout and I felt like I was 70. I joined to a yoga concept called "The Art of Living" that based on a lot of breathing techniques meditation and a lot of knowledge how to create a better life and loving myself. It helped me to reduce stress and got my energy back. Since then I joined some other techniques as Vipassana, channeling healing.. What it really resonance with me and helped is "The Art of Living" , Laughter Yoga, and Access Consciousness! One of the saying in this concept is: "Your point of view creates your reality, not you reality creates your point of view!" Some of this similarity I found in your classes of "Master entrepreneur".. That is way I came all the way from Norway to your and Vered classes :-)

Wonderrful, Daniela.... So inspiring. And thank you for sharing parts of your path.

Hi how are you doing today

Happy you agree

Great to hear... Curious to know what would you do Robin?

I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm frank by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?.

Great to hear that you were inspired by it... However, if moving to a new place is not something that is possible, you can try just part of the year to spend somewhere else... or find something else that captures your heart!

Thak you for sharing with us Irene and I love your outlook at life...

I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days and I hope God bless you to have a great day, I'm David by name from Overbrook Philadelphia and you where are you from?.

Glad it was helpful! Curious to know which of the ideas you would implement in your life Dafna?

I’d like to live in my homeland for few months a year, travel by RV within USA. Find new adventures. I’m excited💜

You're welcome 😊

Do you have any tips on helping my father cope with his age?

You can try instead dancing on wheels!

You are welcome

Glad it was helpful!

Great to hear that. Curious to know what would YOU do?

Yes you are right.. In India if people are not dying after 60 the society will kill them emotionally.. Helpless people die soon after frequently hearing demotivations and stories of deaths

Wonderful to hear you got some inspiration from this video Dawn. Curious to hear what would you try doing once turning 60?

Right on, Prem Sandhan... Was there anything you started doing at 60?

@@MindfulnessPlace Yes I had to completely reinvent myself as I lost all my $ in the GFC... I began working online again, coaching, became an author and generally started from the ground up again

Since then 2 books of mine were published... Check them out - "Things We Do For Love" and "Full Circle"

You can do it!

LOVE the idea of facilitating people’s celebrations... Anne. Brilliant idea.

Hello how are you doing?

You can still start new and have a GREAT life after... why not try one of these options or come with one for yourself... remember... It's never too late to have a happy childhood, so for sure a happy older age...

Would love to hear what would YOU choose to do after 60?

How can I help you?

@@MindfulnessPlace thanks your prompt reply. Very much appreciated. I wl stay intouch with you shortly. For time being, wish you best health with peace of mind. Enjoy ur monday evening. Hd nyt 2u once u go 2 sleep.

Thanks so much Mervyn.... Great to hear you liked it

You're welcome

Thanks a lot

or fun....

WOW Anna that's truly a big step that you took, hat off for your courage... I'm still learning Spanish, never been good with languages, still can't speak proper Dutch after living 20 years in Holland, but here in Tenerife I somehow manage. I can understand most of the things, talking is still hard and frustrating, but I don't give up, the good thing of learning it at my age is that I have the patience that I didn't have in the previous years.

Thank you for sharing, Anna. What I would love to hear from you, is the mindset you had (or needed to develop) in order to start a business at 63... This can be so inspiring for all of us...

Good Life Redefined i use to work in healthcare , but when my second daughter died in 2012 I didn’t fit in any more. I started a education humanities and in 2017 i started my own business, to guid people with loss.

Vered Neta thank you 🙏🏼 its so much better to learn a lanquage when you can speak in daily.. I learned Hebrew a long time ago in the ‘70..when i was in israel for more then a year. I love this lanquage so much. The most disappeared over the years because I don’t Speak it anymore. So easy to learn a lanquage when you are young

@@annaboender6627 - thank you for sharing this part of your journey... and for choosing to inspire and help people in their moments of greatest despair.

not IF... WHEN... that's a good one..

Ron Scheerder | Webalist.eu sounds wonderfull! Verry magic area✨Andalusië

Would love to read your travel bucket list, Ron... To get inspired...

Great idea... Now... the secret is starting by setting a goal and then “prototyping” it... meaning... trying this lifestyle/country for a week or two... not as a tourist, but as close as possible as a local... see if you like it or you need to move on. It took us 7 years of “prototyping” until we found “our” island... Any idea for a destination/climate/lifestyle/culture you’re looking for?

​@@MindfulnessPlace I am thinking about it for a few years, climate needs to be warm and it more like south Europa, I didn't try to live in this place but every year we go hiking with a backpack and this way meet some of the local. "lifestyle/culture" I want to live in a place when people have more time for each other, the countryside is what i like .

@@TaiChi-QiGong-Health-Secrets Thank you for sharing...

Most welcome 😊... join us in our journeys @Gobind

Thanks for this wonderful input David. When you MUST work until you die, that's sad... However, I will also work until I die because it gives meaning for my life and that is the difference - it's a CHOICE that I can make

Go for it! Life becomes a true adventure once you're over 60!

That was also my plan, to start a YT page, but I can't decide which issue, what topic and sometimes I ended up in not to start at all.

That's a great observation. Curious to know what would YOU do?

Well, a meditation of higher thoughts on how to represent what we want for the earth now. Achieving it would be different for everyone. For instance get interested in stuff you would have never done before. Like right now, I'm interested in the stars and elements. I would have never thought about it before. It takes my mind off planet for a minute.

Great idea!

Would love to hear how you do it and what you choose

Then choose something else... what would you choose to do?

Sorry to hear that... But that doesn't mean that YOU will... so make sure to enjoy the ride

Would love to hear what you're going to do?

Life isn't complicated... Life is simple... we are the ones that make it complicated... Just focus on how to simplify your life to those things that makes you happy and bring you joy...

@@MindfulnessPlace thank you for your support. Hugs ❤❤❤

As a 60 year old my advice focus on your loved ones, find a way to volunteer some time to something that speaks to you heart. Help other's around you the best you can. You will feel amazing.

@@davewojcik1854 thanks ❤

then find a like minded community... like here on mindfulness-place.com

Caravan is also great... sailing is still a good option too... as long as you go on adventure...

Lonely has nothing to do with age or whether you have a partner or not. Some people feel especially lonely when they are in a relationship that is not good for them... On the other hand when you're 60 and have no partner you don't have to consider others opinions or wishes you can truly DO, BE and go for what YOU want and dream about.

Thanks

Maybe to give you some inspiration???

Thank you for your honest comment. Every change is scary... but just remember that fear and excitement is the same. Only, in fear we stop breathing while in excitement we breath A LOT! Take a deep breath and do it anyway... whatever it is that you want to do and your heart calls you to do.

Obviously, Debberra, you have the right to your opinion. Everything is just opinions. The question is which opinion would lead you to a more happier and fulfilling life? This video is an invitation to look at life in a different way than what society teaches us, which is that life belongs to the young ones. I CHOOSE to believe that being happy and having a great life has nothing to do with our age and that age is just a number. You can CHOOSE to believe something else just ask yourself if that brings you JOY?

Thanks for your honest comment. These are just SOME of MY ideas... it's meant to be taken all... curious to know what would be YOUR ideas...

Have no clue what is vo2 max Bob... but if that's what brings you joy... GO FOR IT!!!

@@MindfulnessPlace lol it’s how much oxygen you can take in 1minute for each 1kg of weight ,it’s a sign of fitness or lack of

I'm 64 and my body and I am doing more sport than I have ever done and my body is in a grera condition, better than when I was in my '30s!!! It's all a matter of mindset.

Would love to understand more

I can't answer your question... but it's a good age to start thinking about it...

@@MindfulnessPlace Man im worried about retirement. Im trying to save as much as I can and the gov is printing money as much as they can. Kinda screwed now. I cant invest now. Everything is super over valued from Real Estate, to stocks, to index fund, even Gold

Sorry to disappoint you but here are some famous people who only made it famous or started their career AFTER 60: 1. Judi Dench Although Dame Judi Dench has been a stand-out in her work for theatre and TV during her entire working career, she only became a household name in her 60s. Judi has received seven Oscar nominations, all of them when she was over 60. She won Best Actress in Supporting Role in 1999 for Shakespeare in Love. No other actor or actress has collected more nominations when older than 60. 2. Grandma Moses Anna Mary Robertson Moses, better known as Grandma Moses, didn’t start paining until the age of 76. She decided to give painting a go when she could no longer hold an embroidery needle due to her arthritis. Her works were spotted by an art collector who bought all her paintings and displayed them at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. By the time of her death, her paintings hung in museums all over the world. 3. James Parkinson At the age of 62 James Parkinson identified Parkinson’s disease. His 1817 essay on Shaking Palsy lead to our conception of Parkinson’s today. Although others had previously written about shaking palsy, Parkinson’s descriptions were so in-depth that he inspired other pathologists to study the disease. 4. Frank McCourt Frank McCourt only took up writing at the age of 65. His book Angela’s Ashes won both the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award. It was also made into a movie and there are even museums named after him now. 5. Colonel Sanders The Colonel did not start developing Kentucky Fried Chicken until he was in his 60s. Once his brand was developed and growing, he sold it in his 70s and lived comfortably for the rest of his years. 6. Karl Lagerfeld Although Lagerfeld pursued fashion from the age of 14, it’s only later in life he made a transformation to reign as head designer at Chanel at the age of 82. At the age of 68 he lost roughly 41kg as he wanted to wear the high fashion clothes he loved. 7. Kathryn Joosten Kathryn was a nurse and stay-at-home mum but after her marriage failed she decided to pursue her dream of being an actress. Close to the age of 60, she cracked into the industry and found success. Since then she has appeared in TV shows such as Family Matters, My Name is Earl and Desperate Housewives. She has also won two Emmy Awards.

and then what would you do?

That's a great start. Thanks

Would be great if you explain more

This shall also pass. There will be cooler times and what would you want to do then?

@@MindfulnessPlace well now a days its like 4months of the year at such situations already? In our language an old saying nani yaad aa jayege maternal grandmother it means. Some of your suggestions are ok but ultimately its answers required jee????

Only if we let them...

@@MindfulnessPlace its not the question of just only if you let them or someone kind of things? Fact is youth get preference in each and every thing and central government too is interested in them vote bank basically?

Good time to start thinking...

Nice vid with motivational content. After having beaten in many fields with a mix of success and failure stories I am gonna become a media entrepreneur, writer and producer. I am desiring to put everything I learned from my plans and mistakes into the visual medium by crafting stories in doc films for the following generation. Might be worth learning for someone coming after.Love you.

I wasn't giving advice I was sharing my experience and my plans... what would you suggest?

why?

I'm 64 now and I can tell you it's better than I even dreamt

Thanks for the compliment... Like they say - Canadians are the nicest people... and as I said you look as you feel and age is only a state of mind... What would you do after 60?

Thanks for your input and feedback. We'll do better next time

I think you're assuming too much about me... If you have watched the video until the end you'll see that there are so many other options to do even when you have no money. You don't need money to be happy, you need CREATIVITY! If you truly care for your father inspire him to be creative and come up with exciting things he can do, even without money... And you're right, not all people are the same... that's what makes it so great! You just need to find out what tickles you and your father imagination and passion.

@@MindfulnessPlace I thankful for your kindness solution and advice for my father not everyone will understand others 😭
