What I Have Learned About Life At age 70

First, I have learned that life is not always fair. No matter how hard you work or how good of a person you are, bad things can happen to you. This is something that I have had to come to terms with, and it has made me more resilient.

Second, I have learned that being healthy is better than being wealthy. I am not saying that money is not important, but health is the most important thing. Money can’t buy your health, and without health, money is meaningless.

Third, I have learned that you should always treat others with respect, even if they don’t deserve it.

There are eight additional things on my mind today. Maybe tomorrow there will be a different list.

70 years is a long time to be alive!

This is perhaps the most obvious thing that I have learned in my 70 years, but it bears repeating. Life is precious and should not be taken for granted. No matter how many hardships we face, we should appreciate every moment that we are alive. That’s why it’s important to enjoy life while we still can. So go out there and live your best life! Life is short and unpredictable. You can’t take it with you when you go, so enjoy it while you can.

You can’t please everyone, so please yourself.

This is something that I have had to learn the hard way over the years. It’s impossible to make everyone happy all the time, so you might as well focus on making yourself happy. Do what makes you happy and don’t worry about what other people think. Other people’s opinion doesn’t matter nearly as much as your own.

Friends come and go, but some stick around forever

Friends are an important part of life, but there will be some who come and go. The friends who stick around are the ones who are worth keeping in your life. These are the friends who will be there for you through thick and thin. They are the ones who will support you, no matter what. These are the friends who will make you laugh when you’re down and help you up when you fall. They are the friends who will always be there for you, no matter what.

Your career is important, but it’s not everything

Your career is an important part of your life, but it’s not the only thing that matters. Other things in life are just as important, like family and friends. Your career is an important part of your life, but it’s not the only thing that matters.

It’s never too late to learn something new

No matter how old you are, it’s never too late to learn something new. There is always something out there that you can learn, whether it’s a new skill or an additional fact about the world. As we get older, our brains don’t learn as quickly as they used to, so we sometimes think that learning is a lot more difficult than it used to be. However, there are plenty of things that you can still learn at any age.

Here are 2 things that you can learn no matter how old you are:

 A new language -No matter how old you are, it’s never too late to learn a new language. There are plenty of resources available online and in libraries to help you learn a new language. You could even take a class at your local community college or university. If you’re motivated, you could even move to a country where the language you want to learn is spoken and immerse yourself in it.

 How to play an instrument -Just like learning a new language, learning how to play an instrument is something that you can do at any age. If you’ve always wanted to learn how to play the piano, guitar, or anything else, there’s no reason you can’t start now.

You should never stop adventuring

Don’t let life pass you by without experiencing all that it offers. There are so many wonderful things out there to see and do, and you should take advantage of them while you can. Too often we let life pass us by because we feel like we don’t fit in, or we don’t belong, but this is just not true. You are the only person who can change your life for the better, so go out and do it!

Happiness comes from within

You don’t need a lot of money to be happy. Some of the richest people in the world are also some of the most unhappy. True happiness comes from simple pleasures like spending time with loved ones, being outdoors, or doing something you enjoy. These things are priceless and can never be purchased with money.

Happiness doesn’t come from outside sources, like money or possessions. It comes from within, from being content with what you have and enjoying your life experiences. The key to happiness comes down to your outlook on life. If you can find joy and contentment in everything you do, then you will be happy.

Happiness doesn’t always come easy, but it is always worth the effort. Be willing to work for it and put in the time and effort to make it happen. There are no shortcuts to happiness; create it yourself.

The best way to achieve happiness is by setting goals and working towards them. When you have something to look forward to, it makes the journey that much more enjoyable. Every accomplishment, no matter how small, brings you one step closer to overall satisfaction.

It’s also important to focus on the positive things in your life and not dwell on the negative. Try to find the silver lining in every situation, no matter how difficult it may be. When you’re able to see the good in everything, happiness will come more easily.

Finally, don’t forget that laughter is the best medicine! Research has shown that smiling and laughing can increase you.

Give back when you can

One of the best things that you can do in life is to give back to others. When you help others, you make the world a better place and you make yourself feel good as well. Volunteering is one of the most rewarding things you can do. It gives you a chance to help others, while also getting to know them.

There are many ways that you can volunteer, so find an opportunity that interests you. You can volunteer at a local hospital, library, or senior center. You could also tutor children in your community, help at a food bank, or a long list of other opportunities.
