Sometimes the best advice for living a full, meaningful life comes from those who’ve already lived one. Inthis touching video, a group of 80-year-olds reflect on what they would tell their younger selves. Their wisdom is heartfelt and simple: slow down, enjoy the little things, don’t sweat the small stuff, and spend more time with the people you love. These are not just reflections—they are reminders of what truly matters over the course of a lifetime.

The most powerful part of their message is that it’s never too late to change your perspective—or your priorities. Whether you’re in your 30s, 50s, or well beyond, their stories encourage all of us to be more present, more grateful, and more intentional. “Time goes fast,” one woman says, “so make sure you’re doing what you love with the people you love.”

What advice would your future self give to you today?
 How can you apply these life-tested lessons to your next decision, relationship, or goal?
 Which small joy have you been rushing past—and how can you savor it now?

Head over to theAge Brilliantly Forum and share your reflections. Let’s celebrate wisdom across the ages and inspire each other to live fully—at every stage of life.
