    My list at 62:
    1. Say something complimentary to at least one person every day.
    2. Find the humour. Even if it has to be dark humour.
    3. Learn at least one new thing everyday.
    4. Travel adventurously.
    5. Shut. Up.
    6. Share knowledge with generosity.
    7. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
    8. Dress to please yourself.
    9. Have a lot of sex, including with yourself.
    10. Hug. A lot.

    #2 - learning to say no: when you start agreeing only to things you really can and want to do, people learn to trust that when you are doing something you are fully committed and want to be there. Also, "no, that won't work for me" is all it takes, you don't need to explain why.

      Do be aware, however, that people will then find all sorts of ways to pressure you into changing your mind!
      I've been saying No to things I don't want to do for YEARS (I'm 74 now) but I've discovered that saying 'No, that's not for me' often results in them saying, 'Oh, but how do you know till you try?-you'll feel differently in a day or so, so I'll ask again-if you won't do it, then neither can I- you need to try new things or you'll get stagnant-maybe we can do it some other time, like next Thursday,' etc. So be prepared to stand your ground and don't give in to pressure or emotional blackmail.
      A brief polite 'out' ...'I'm sorry, but that's not for me' ...should be enough. The proper polite response should be, 'No problem ...but if you change your mind, let me know.'
      However, many people will immediately begin to try to squash your reason for refusal. So don't make excuses or get into a debate about it. If your initial polite excuse is not enough to make them back off, just fall back on that good old word 'No.' Repeated often enough, eventually No WILL sink in. The alternative is you will get trapped into whatever it is you don't want to do. Resentment will follow.

    When I was only 19, I was diagnosed with a serious incurable disease and I expected that I would die in a few years... At that point I stopped making goals, going to college, stopped planning and dreaming. I'm 40 now, still pretty young and have time. Now there are treatments and the disease can be tamed, still not cured but it's seemless. I'm going back to school and pursuing my career dreams. It wasn't my time but I no longer give up as a victim to my circumstances. Great advice Sandy!

    I once heard a mother of three testify that, "Respect is fostered. My kids owe me nothing. They did not ask to be born. I chose to have them. I owe them everything.". She continued by emphasising that her childrens happiness is what matters most, and ended her message to the world with, "Now, my kids are actually fighting over which one will get to take care of me when I get old.". They WANT to take care of her, because she never expected them to. I was envious of her children. My parents are narcissists. I don't know how to forgive my parents for failing to do their job. I have understanding for them, and how they became narcissists, but I have yet to master the art of forgiveness.

    At almost 60yo, I realized staying in the emotionally abusive relationship I was in for 15 years was partly my responsibility. When I recognized how unhealthy it was, I stayed with "hope" that he would change. That my love would surely make him see our lives could be so much better.
    Yes, trauma bonds are horrible, but I know part of me wanted to be revered as the intelligent patient woman that helped him 'see the light' and be lavished with grateful love from then on.
    That is very unhealthy, of course, but I just didn't understand it before. I'm grateful to no longer live in that delusional fantasy. I don't hate him, I just don't have to be married to him. ❤

    I would add, “Experience is NOT the only teacher.”
    You don’t have to go through what others have gone through if you SIMPLY pay attention to what they go through and why.
    Yes, SOME things DO require experience, but some things we deal with because of an “it won’t happen to me” or an “I don’t care, I’m gonna do it because I want to” mentality, causes us to suffer consequences that we didn’t need to.

Suffering and life being hard is not always a "mindset" and we need to acknowledge our priveledge to even be able to think that's the case for everyone, because for millions around the world suffering is not a mindset. It's not a mindset for many even around you and not because they want to suffer or are "negative" but because everyone's individual lives are different. Life shouldn't be hard and suffering for anyone but unfortunately for many it is and is out of their hands.

    Don’t be in a hurry to get married. If all your friends are married and you are not, it’s okay. Seek advice and counsel of people who have been married for a long time before you get married. If you marry for the first time at forty years old, it’s fine. Be comfortable with who you are before marrying anyone.

    MY two cents, for what it's worth...Never make life changing decisions when your tired, sick or grieving. Never make promises when your excited, depressed or angry. Never loan money to anyone, including your friends or family, you're not a bank. I've learned some hard lessons in life, that I don't want to repeat. I rarely make promises anymore and my life changing decisions are well thought out, because when we realize time is running out, we stop wasting time and money.

I’m 30 now and I’ve struggled with depression basically my entire life, since my childhood. I didn’t know at that time, but that’s what it was. All you need is the tools to be present and conscious, staying with all the feelings you’re experiencing right now without avoiding them. Embrace all that comes to you, embrace all the sadness, the struggles, all bad and good emotions. You’re still so young and already have the vocabulary to express what you’re going through. It’s not easy at all, it’s a big thing. ❤️

That's when I realized that she's benefitting from my lack of education/inability to work so obviously she'd say that it's good for her if I never leave the house and take on even more chores. If anyone's wondering she herself does work.

It’s especially hard when it’s your mother- i know the feeling very well. I haven’t lived with my mother for 35 years but she digs into my soul with her negativity. My mother is very selfish & no matter my accomplishments she never misses an opportunity to be negative. Hoping that everything gets better for you, it’s good that you are becoming aware of what is happening.

They’re so appreciative towards me for making them dinner but I don’t think they realize that I will have memories of them and their conversations long after they’re gone. Well, I’m sure they do realize it but maybe they don’t know how much it means to me or how grateful I am and aware of how much I appreciate them.

I did my 4 year art course full time while working every friday and saturday night. I had wanted to be an artist since I was 12. That was the best 4 years and I love the idea of sitting in on lectures at our university. Reading. Go to sculpture and textile classes. Thanks for this. .

      Do not overestimate your understanding either because you only have some 5 years left before the wall when the dynamics shift radically, socially, psychologywise and bodily.
      Are you able to compromise or not, are you the dominant one or not? Certain things will define your future even now.
      Depending on the answer, you may consider investing in a wine company.
      Ask what percentage of single old childless women portray it as glamorous and great. But if you have no intention of being the feminine wife to begin with, you are making the right choice, likewise if you think you have time forever.

This is one of the reasons that I’m glad I understand English, that I find inspiring people like her from the wide global sea of information. Thank you very much Sandra.

      Get to the root of it now... why are you depressed, lonely, at 16? Why do you have study pressure, you've been in school at least the last 10 years so consider yourself an expert at studying, that may help with the pressure. You've been a student longer than some may have been teachers! Nothing they can give you that you can't answer or figure out... change your perspective and what you focus on.. find the positive in it all. Seek God through it all.

Health, both physical and mental they are intertwined, cant stress this enough, good sleep, good food, good habits because as you age it will deteriorate rapidly of you dobt take care of it like its most ptescious thing. 2. Friends and family(but if they are toxic then just focus on friends) I put friends ahead of spouse because you might not find a spouse but you can find and keep friends for life, get 2 or 3 really really good ones if you can, if they have family and you dont be part of it, babysit their kids etc. Cheerish friends and social life. 3. Spouse, find if you can a "good" one and even if not make kid or kids you can always dovorce atleast you will have kids that of you treat them well will enrich your life immensly. Rest doesnt matter at all.

    One point I'll add just from my own experience, as being a woman in her late 30s with an 80 year old mother... while my mom shouldn't expect that I do everything for her that she did for me, for the daughters/sons don't forget about your parents. I didn't realize until the last couple of years in my life how lonely adulthood can be. Adding to loneliness, sickness and just the general aging process, people need people. So while you're still young and independent, some people's parents aren't so try to include them.

    Great advice and a great educator! I found myself wishing I could reach out to Arthur about forgiveness--time has taught me that holding onto bad feelings only hurts the the who holds the resentment, not the person who caused the feeling.
    Whatever the former partner took from Arthur is not worth as much as 20 years of holding onto, and spending energy on, resentment. My Granny advice to Arthur, offered with respect to someone who is my senior, is that this guy has cost you enough. Don't add to the tab by spending another moment of energy on thinking about him.

    My tips as a 37yo are for relationships:
    1 - Tell your partner how much you love and appreciate them every single day. If you have a compliment to give, give it on the spot.
    2 - Don't go to bed with something left unsaid, or angry. If you're upset, talk about it immediately. Explain your feelings, invite a conversation - don't yell or blame. Talk and find a solution together. Never, ever, go to bed upset at your companion.
    This comes from my own relationship of 20 years with my partner. These are our rules and our relationship is our haven and bliss. New people we meet think we are a cute new couple 😂

      I don't agree with the second one. If it works for you, great, but sometimes you just need to sleep your anger away in order to talk things out. Different people have different amounts of times they require to cool off, and sometimes it's not smth they did, sometimes you're just angry cause you've been eating unhealthy food all day and your brain is punishing you for it, or whatever hormones involved into it. Sometimes it's best to let it be, and then come back to it when you're both ready to talk about it. It won't whither your relationship, it'll just teach you more about the partner you love and their tendencies

    Heavy on the last part with the parents. My dad has never been there for me and my siblings emotionally and the only time we communicate is talking about a job, being successful, money, or him complaining about his wife.
    I remember him saying once the reason he had kids was so he could have a good life when he gets older, but funny enough when I become financially independent I want absolutely nothing to do with him.
    When I go away for college he is always calling me many times a week saying why aren’t I talking to him, but everytime we talk it’s entirely one sided and he’ll just lecture me about a topic and not let me get any input at all. Or even if I do say something he’ll shut it down and say that I’m too young to have a say on xyz and that he knows better.
    Why the hell would I want to have him in my life when I’m older or want to treat him and give him the best when he’s in his old age when he’s just given me mental disorders and trauma??
    I appreciate the hard work he’s done for the family and I can respect that but I will be loving him from a distance.

      It is always good to take some time to think over things you're going through; whether it's a regret, or that someone hurt you or upset you.
      You need to process your thoughts and feelings. Deal with it(forgive,apologize if you should ,think -how could I have handled this better, are there boundaries that I need to create) then give yourself permission to let it go . Not everything will make sense; because you can't make sense of nonsense. But, you still need to learn and let go.

      A perspective I got from a Khloee Taylor podcast was to see it in a way where your past self did what they did to protect you from what was happening at that time. As time goes on, situations change and therefore parts of us change. Hold your past self with love and gratitude for the protection it provided and let it go when it no longer serves our greatest good.

    Sandra, thank you so much for this video! I'm being in my 20's and sometimes i feel so lost, but your video simply made me happier and more motivated. You're such a pure soul and incredible person. May God bless your heart!

    I turned 60 in April. As we get older we realize we hold the keys to our lives. Not looking to the world for validation. Relying on our intuition (God's guidance and voice within us)is so important for all decisions.
    Enjoyed time with you today, I think your outlook is lovely.

      I have a question, I’m pretty young I would say, but I’ve just realized how stupid we all are about how much we care what OTHER people think, especially strangers. I’m either gonna forget or not meeting any of these strangers ever again (most of the time) and yet I still feel the need to be accepted by them, and I think this is wired to everyone’s brains from the start. And the more I look around, I realize older people don’t have this as much. They literally do not care about others opinions other than their close relations. Is that something that has occurred to you? Cause personally, this has brought a big change to my life. I’m sorry if I don’t make much sense in my comment, I just don’t know how to explain it thoroughly.

    Hello Sandra, I'm 19. A few months ago I decided investing time into self-improvement. This video has touched my soul and motivated me, sometimes, actually most of the time I feel going anywhere... I'm learning how to create myself, how to love myself, my boundaries, my goals... Thank you for the advice! 🌹
    English is my second language, hope people who are reading can understand it 🥺

      I’m quite impressed with your curiosity to click on this video. I would guess you have an inquisitive mind and wish you much success. I’m over fifty and wish I’d been able to incorporate these guardrails in my own life when I was 19. In my humble opinion you seem to be on a path to creating a solid foundation on which to build your future…be well and stay curious.

    I just turned 40, and I'm making a lot of life changes. I lost the elders in my family in my 20s.
    This video and your optimism were really needed today... A dash of sorely missed familiarity and tone. You're pretty cool. Thanks

    According to Bronnie Ware, one of the most common near death regrets is "I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself." That resonates a lot with me. It’s not that I choose to go through life as a misfit. What I mean is that it’s me who decides the life that I want lo lead, and thus the set of “rules” that I’m going to follow. Coherence and consistency give you peace of mind. My life, my rules. No one else’s.

    After reading the comments below my (I'm 66 but I don't feel "old") my advice is to develop your resiliency. Sad and bad things WILL happen to you, but have the strength to look those things in the face and go on. Your heart will be broken, dreams won't happen, heavy obstacles will get in your way. Its all about how you deal with life that matters. Stay calm and carry on. I find reading about Stoicism helps me. Best wishes to you!
