Continuing our series on the benefits of aging, today’s focus will be on the power of perspective.

The latest hairstyle everyone is talking about? The famous name splashed across the tabloids? Who will remember five years from now!

As the years pass by, you watch the trends of each decade come and go. You experience the highs and lows of infinite weeks, sometimes filled with joy and bliss, sometimes struck by tragedy. Through all this, you come to see much more clearly what really matters in life, and what won’t stand the test of time.

With their lifetime of perspective, studies show that seniors have less patience for superficial concerns, while making more time for relationships, hobbies, and interests.

Many seniors rank time spent with family and friends as the most important factor for maintaining a high quality of life. They understand that as their friends pass away and their grandchildren grow up, every moment spent in the company of those they love is a gift that they will treasure.

Seniors also realize the value of giving back to their community. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, people over age 65 vote at a higher rate than any other age group, and volunteer more frequently as well. Younger people could learn a lesson from seniors and commit more time to service-oriented activities that provide a deeper and more spiritual sense of satisfaction and connection.
