I watched this while sipping tea alone, and it reminded me of my father. He passed at 72, always saying he’d rest “someday.” I now pause each morning, breathe deeply, and remind myself—this is the moment. Thank you for such a gentle, powerful reminder. 🙏

thank you...💙
i am 63, have never lived more fully than NOW, my creativity soared like an eagle at age 58/59, learning now becomes a life goal, relationships i see totally different than 10 years ago, and as i know i am nearing the time to depart, truth, honesty, loyalty, joy, beauty, laughter, carefreeness take on a different meaning. Life IS short...yet sooo full of wonder, of new insights, new moments, each precious, sacred as never before.
people used to say, getting old is a burden....i find it is bringing me closer to happiness
true, we slow down, but is that not a good thing? finally we have time to fully see, feel, hear, touch, taste and internalize with our soul.
this video so spoke to me, again, thank you for getting it out here💙

The tragedy isn’t forgetting life, but having lived it unconsciously. Clara’s words echo a quiet truth many don’t realize until too late.

[donnahill]

Scrolling on my phone caused me to see/hear this. So appropriate and relevant.

[buddhistwisdomforelderly]

Such a thoughtful and peaceful approach to aging. The idea of spending life wisely and being present in each moment really resonates with me. It’s a reminder that the quality of our years matters more than the quantity. I’m definitely going to reflect on these teachings and try to apply them as I move forward. Thank you for sharing this beautiful perspective!

Beautiful message. Life after 60 is a gift—Buddhist wisdom reminds us to live mindfully, with love, peace, and purpose.

12:54 Not a single word wasted in this video. The analogy of life being like a river (keep flowing, don't cling to either bank) will stay with me. Thank you, Quiet Wisdom.

[krumw]

A roadmap to retirement that will require many listenings. Thank you for this teaching!

[saiharshith]

this video reminded me of when i first started digging into hidden knowledge a few years ago. forbidden manifestation by zara blackthorn opened my eyes

[RTA-SeedsofEnlightenment]

I loved how this video gently weaves Buddhist teachings into everyday life. The idea of living without urgency and learning to appreciate the quiet moments really hit home for me. It's not about perfection, but about living deeply and with compassion. Truly inspiring! 🙏❤

[lizandrapeguero]

I listen every morning to these videos and it gives me strength and motivation to stay at peace and not let anyone disturb my spirit! 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[wynpeggie]

What wonderful words of wisdom, we have so much to learn every day is precious.Thank you from my heart.

A deeply cherished message—gentle yet powerful in every word. To live slowly, mindfully, and with gratitude for each moment is truly the greatest gift. Thank you to the creator for such a beautiful video!

[Moon-MindTemple]

I'm taking away the "deathbed perspective" exercise. It's a powerful way to re-evaluate what truly deserves my precious time and energy. Thank you for this thoughtful reflection.

Thank you for sharing this meaningful teaching for the later years of life! Life is impermanent, and after 60 is the time to slow down, let go of worries, and focus on what truly matters. A compassionate and mindful perspective from Buddhism!
