Presented by Norman and Madeleine York
Realities
- Of the 76 million Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, over a million will live past the age of 100; over 10 million will live past the age of 90!
- AARP estimates that 80% of the Boomers will work past the age of 65!
- Women who reach 50 cancer free can expect to live to 93!
- With care, the human body can be expected to function from 140 to 150 years.
More Realities
- By the year 2020, 20% of the population will be 65 or older!
- Between 1995 and 2050, Americans aged 85 or over will increase from 3.6 million to 18.2 million!
- Few of the Boomers will have the employment equity necessary to retire in the traditional sense.
- Few people die of old age, but rather from the consequences of failing to maintain good physical and mental health!
Choices
- Happiness--is the result of our thoughts and feelings which we can control to create a consciousness of joy and peace of mind!
- Good Health--is the result of practicing good physical and mental health habits based on our attitudes and expectations!
- Happy Relationships--are created by our responses toward others who respond to positive changes in our attitudes toward them!
- Life Purpose--is achieved through work, volunteering or some useful activity that provides the meaning necessary to maintain vitality!
