The 6 BIG Benefits of Longevity
Be a victim or conquer longevity. You must choose!
Longevity
- Longevity Definition: Long existence or service
- Human longevity relates to both existence (remaining alive) and service (remaining useful).
- I strive for nothing less than long existence and long service for both my patients and myself
My favorite part of Avatar II, Way of the Water:
- “Teach them our ways so they don’t have to deal with the shame of being useless”
- It blows my mind how many people are ok with being useless to society in 2023
My hospitalized elderly patient: “Keep me alive doc”
Me: “what makes you want to keep living”
Patient: “I have grandkids”
- But these people cannot watch their grandkids because their health is too poor. In fact, they need assistance even to perform activities of daily living (ADL)
- Like avatars of the sea, I would find this inability to contribute meaningfully: shameful.
- Being useful is about more than just pride. It is about service to the community.
- Service is what life is all about. If you are unhappy with your life, I suspect this is huge part of the problem.
Longevity is the Key
- By striving for longevity you are forced to become the best version of yourself right now.
- The best version of you, right now, will be able to live, thrive, and serve the longest.
- As such longevity, or as we call here, the Full Scope, is your best vehicle for health, extreme productivity, and service both now and in the future
