Living to 100!!!
January 25th, 2010Hey Thrillionaires and Original Odyssey members! Those of you who were on the Original Odyssey call earlier this evening, here is the link to the life expectancy calculator that Nik discussed towards the end of the call.
Go ahead, take the questionnaire and feel free to share YOUR life expectancy and what you are doing to improve your health to live even longer! Nik’s life expectancy is 104 years. What’s yours?
Here is a great theory written by George Carlin–gave all of us a few chuckles!!
The theory of AGING…By George Carlin
“How old are you? “I’m four and a half!” You’re never thirty six and a half. You’re four and A half, going on five! That’s the key. You get into your teens, now they can’t hold you back. You jump to the next number. Or even a few ahead. “How old are you? “I’m gonna be 16!” You could be 13, but hey, you’re ‘gonna’ be 16! And then the greatest day of your life… you become 21. Even the words YESSSS!!!! But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED, we had to throw him out. There’s no fun now, you’re just a sour- dumpling. What’s wrong? What’s Changed? You BECOME 31, You TURN 30, then You’re PUSHING 40, Whoa! Put on the breaks, it’s all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50… and your dreams are gone.
But wait, you MAKE it to 60. You didn’t think you would! So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50, MAKE it to 60. You’ve built up so much speed that you reach 70! After that it’s a day-by-day thing; you hit Wednesday! You get into you’re 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn’t end there, Into the 90s, you start going backwards; “I was just 92.” Then strange things happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. “I’m 100 and a half!
May we all make it (healthy) to 100 and a half.

I have been looking around http://www.thethrillionaires.com and really am impressed by the terrific content here. I work the nightshift at my job and it really gets boring. I’ve been coming right here for the past couple nights and reading. I simply wanted to let you know that I’ve been enjoying what I have seen and I look forward to reading more.

Hey! I’m not doing so bad. My questionaire said I’ll live to 98. My grandmothers lived to 90 and 94. One of my aunts was 94, another is 96. My grandfathers were 89 and 81(cancer). Many of my ancestors lived to be between 90 and 100. I’ve got a lot of projects yet and lots of things to learn!!

P.S. Carlin never fails to crack me up! Anyone ever hear the one about the really old fly? He did that routine on The Tonight Show when I was a kid (flower child of the Sixties) and I will never forget how he made me ROTFLOL long before we had an acronym for it!!
I’ve been searching the Web for years trying to find it again (including posing the question on Carlin’s community forum.) Thanks for the chuckle of the day, Guys!

Totally missed this blog post (looking for it on the main page :P) Thanks to Brandon for pointing me in the right direction. Here’s an excerpt from the response I left on the Original Odyssey Master Mind Alliance & Study Club (iLearn in Freedom Network on Ning):
It’s not about longevity, IMHO, but quality of life. Nik’s obviously doing something right, although I am partial to Dr. Doug Graham’s all-natural approach with the 80/10/10 Diet. Doug is a professional athlete and chiropractor who has mentored the likes of Mark Victor Hansen, Demi Moore, and the US Diving Team, to name a few of his distinguished clientele. I explain more about this approach in my blog here on iLiF: http://budurl.com/123highenergyplan
In a nutshell, the emphasis is placed on fresh, whole, ripe, raw, and preferably organic fruits & veggies, which also replace the need for drowning yourself in H2O, if consumed in healthy quantities (and I don’t mean the token amounts recommended by the government.) Read all about it here and at http://foodnsport.com/faq.html — and join us for our monthly Health & Fitness event (see details on iLiF homepage.)
Excerpts from FOOTSTEPS OF TRUTH, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy (who lived to her 90th year and received a glowing report from the coroner, who had never seen anyone at “so advanced an age” show little or none of the usual signs of aging):
——————————–
Undesirable records, p. 246
Never record ages. Chronological data are no part of the vast forever. Time-tables of birth and death are so many conspiracies against manhood and womanhood. Except for the error of measuring and limiting all that is good and beautiful, man would enjoy more than threescore years and ten and still maintain his vigor, freshness, and promise. Man, governed by immortal Mind, is always beautiful and grand. Each succeeding year unfolds wisdom, beauty, and holiness.
——————————–
The error of thinking that we are growing old, and the benefits of destroying that illusion, are illustrated in a sketch from the history of an English woman, published in the London medical magazine called The Lancet.
Perpetual youth, p. 245
Disappointed in love in her early years, she became insane and lost all account of time. Believing that she was still living in the same hour which parted her from her lover, taking no note of years, she stood daily before the window watching for her lover’s coming. In this mental state she remained young. Having no consciousness of time, she literally grew no older. Some American travellers saw her when she was seventy-four, and supposed her to be a young woman. She had no care-lined face, no wrinkles nor gray hair, but youth sat gently on cheek and brow. Asked to guess her age, those unacquainted with her history conjectured that she must be under twenty.
This instance of youth preserved furnishes a useful hint, upon which a Franklin might work with more certainty than when he coaxed the enamoured lightning from the clouds. Years had not made her old, because she had taken no cognizance of passing time nor thought of herself as growing old. The bodily results of her belief that she was young manifested the influence of such a belief. She could not age while believing herself young, for the mental state governed the physical.
Impossibilities never occur. One instance like the foregoing proves it possible to be young at seventy-four; and the primary of that illustration makes it plain that decrepitude is not according to law, nor is it a necessity of nature, but an illusion.

Live long and Prosper, Amigos ~ I AM! :o)

Thanks, I got age 101, my Gran-nan made it to 100…

Hi everybody. I just took the test. I am calculated to live to a ripe “young” age of 101. My great-grandmother lived to be 103 and was rarely sick a day in her life. She took walks everyday, planted and tended a garden and used natural herbs that she picked from nature for healing. It’s nice to know that I will be rocking and rolling past 100
Live Long and Prosper,
Phyllis

Hi folks. My grandmother passed away. She was 109 years old. Her secret was olive oil, red wine, afternoon siestas, free range organic food and plenty of water.
Let’s rock this world now. 120 here we come.
January 26th, 2010 at 12:28 am |
Well, it appears I should live till I’m 83 anyway. Perhaps a little more exercise.
January 26th, 2010 at 12:04 am |
I took the test. I’ll be living to a ripe old age of 102 if I keep up my current healthy habits!
: ) Sure glad I look young at 56, or I wouldn’t want to see myself at 102! Yikes! I have been health conscious from a very early age. My great grandmother died at 93, my grandmother in her late 80s, and my father is still living and working like a madman (outdoors and having fun) at 81!
Yes, Brandon…small healthy meals several times per day, and lots of water!!!
Best,
Freda

I just scored 98 so I am a very happy girl … My family laugh because as I am approaching 50 this year I often say that this birthday party will be a test run for the 100 one… I love life and believe that if you aim for 100 it is within reach.
January 25th, 2010 at 8:10 pm |
Hey guys–I fell in between both of you at 96…I think I need to focus a little harder on my day-to-day food intake and the amount of water I drink!
January 25th, 2010 at 7:57 pm |
Wow–Nik got to 104, mine came out at 90–I must be workin’ too hard for all of y’all!!! LOL
January 25th, 2010 at 7:40 pm |
Hey Thrillionaires…104 years of age for my life expectancy and I’m still dissatisfied. I want 110-120 years of age….
