Mel Robbins argues aging is a gift, not a curse. Billions are being invested to extend human life to 100 or 150 years, and half of today's children are projected to reach 100. She says to cash in these extra decades by living longer and better.
I don't want anyone to believe that older age is something that we should fear. This is a gift of time. You know, since people crawled out of the ooze, if you will, we've wanted to live longer, whether it's endless life, eternal life, trying to find all kinds of things going on to make sure that we live longer. In fact, think of the billions now going into longevity tech, that we're going to live to 100, 150. That's great. Why don't you look at older age as a gift of a dividend of upwards of 3 to 4 decades longer than our grandparents, great-grandparents may have enjoyed. A child born today, one half of them, it is said, are likely to live 100 years. We don't know how to cash in the years we have. Let's make living longer, living better.
