No One Wishes They Worked More | Life Lessons From People Over 80

Описание: Most people spend their lives chasing success, promotions, and financial security—believing that working harder will eventually lead to happiness. But when people reach their 80s and 90s, many share a strikingly similar realization.

No one wishes they worked more.

In this deeply reflective episode of What Life Teaches You After 80, an elder looks back on decades of work, ambition, sacrifice, and missed moments. This is a quiet, honest conversation about the illusion that more work equals more fulfillment—and what truly matters when time becomes precious.

You’ll hear reflections on:
• Career ambition and identity
• Work-life balance and burnout
• Regret, presence, and missed moments
• Family, relationships, and connection
• Health, time, and what success really means

This is not advice from theory or trend cycles. It’s wisdom shaped by lived experience—spoken slowly, thoughtfully, and without pretense. A reminder that titles fade, money loses its shine, and the moments we postpone often become the ones we miss the most.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by work, questioning your priorities, or wondering what a meaningful life actually looks like, this episode offers perspective that only time can give.

Listen with an open heart.
Share it with someone who’s working too hard.
Save it for a moment when you need to slow down.
