There’s a number of things that they all shared. I think what really stuck out to me in a blanket statement is that they all lived a simple life. They moved with the rhythms of nature, were in close connection with their community, each other and their family. They did not get overwhelmed with life and what was going on around them. Meaning was a huge part of their life. Meaning in everyday things, not big things. They didn’t have to have this Elon Musk, Steve Jobs or Oprah Winfrey type of reality to be happy and to have meaning. They had meaning all around them. Meaning was a choice. Their food was simple. Their movement and exercise patterns were simple. Everything around their whole life was simple.
What are some of the common qualities that people who have lived past 100 share?
