Tonight Show host Johnny Carson once asked his 99-year-old guest, comedian and cigar aficionado George Burns, “Who would want to live to be 100?” Without missing a beat, the nonagenarian about to become a centenarian replied, “Someone who is 99!” The live studio audience erupted in laughter.
The longevity movement brings with it both grand challenges and opportunities — from eliminating diseases associated with aging, and perhaps eradicating aging itself, to rethinking the future of care, reinventing retirement living, reassessing risk and longevity in the financial services industry, and the emerging commercial and business models that will lead to the shared benefits across society for this new age.
To realize an outlook of successful aging, reimagining what life might look at 100 is needed to consider changes to how we approach a new futuristic life span perspective in health, work-life balance, finance, relationships and rethinking aging. Exploring passions through all stages of life and finding time to pursue unique experiences is important to increasing vitality and energy at any age. Engaging meaningfully with friends and family and connecting with more than one community through volunteering or hobbies and passions helps build bridges that strengthen resilience and guards against social isolation and loneliness.
The traditional view of aging as something to fear is being overtaken with a new reality of opportunities. The aging phenomenon is a potential with possibilities, full of wisdom, emotional stability, passion and validation. With a strong sense of personal responsibility, elderhood can be a meaningful stage of life as consumers co-create their own lifestyle choices.
