A framework for a well-lived life is based on five principles: Life, Love, Laughter (with love), Labor (with love), and Listening (with love).

Instead of trying to just 'get over' difficult experiences, you should aim to 'live through them' to understand them and then move on without being held back.

A doctor's role is not to be the sole healer, but to act as a colleague to the patient's own inner physician, which does the actual healing.

Instead of fighting aging, you can focus on 'aging into health,' where you grow into new abilities and perspectives even as physical ones decline.

It is never too old to learn and grow, as one can find their true voice and overcome lifelong insecurities even at the age of 93.

A healthy approach to retirement is not to stop working, but to retire to a new purpose or activity you are passionate about.

The point of having a long-term plan, even at 102, isn't necessarily to achieve it, but to have a moving target that keeps you alive and moving forward.

Taking a rest is not wasting time or a sign of failure; it is actively doing something necessary for your body to heal and continue.
