At age 85, Sam Maloof said he was having too much fun to retire.
If you search the web, you'll find that Sam made furniture.
It was so good that he could receive $10,000 for a chair. In fact, the Huntington Library just acquired one of his chairs for display in one of their galleries.
And so Sam kept making furniture until this year, when he lived to be 93.
There are two things at work here.
First, he lived a long time because he had a purpose.
Second, his long life allowed him to fulfill his purpose.
Notice how these supported each other. And in this is the secret to living a long life: you must have a purpose.
So, how about you?
Do you have a purpose that will give you a reason to get up every morning for the rest of your life?
Because if you have a good one, you'll keep getting up for a long time.
Key Point: Give yourself the gift of a long life by having a reason to keep living.
Much success,
