If, at 70, you can sit across from someone you love, engage in a thoughtful conversation, tell a good story, or even throw in a sharp joke—then your mind is still working in beautiful ways.
You remember names. You recall moments from years ago. You enjoy discussions, not just sit through them.
That’s more than mental fitness. That’s being fully alive.
4. You Still Give More Than You Take
If you’ve lived long enough to understand what it means to give without expecting anything back, then you’ve discovered one of life’s most meaningful truths.
This is more than generosity. It’s purpose.
It doesn’t take much to brighten someone’s day. And when you still want to do that, you’re living with a richness far greater than wealth.
5. You Can Still Laugh From the Heart
But a deep, belly laugh—the kind that makes your eyes water and your soul feel wide open.
If you can laugh at yourself, laugh at life’s absurdities, and find joy in old memories or funny little mishaps, then your spirit has stayed wonderfully intact.
It means you’ve kept wonder alive. It means that joy still has a home in you, no matter how many storms you’ve weathered.
And that kind of laughter isn’t just charming. It’s healing.
