At a later age, we see that as people's resources, our physical resources are on the decline, then there are new challenges.

And I

Now, I briefly touched the idea that you often need to find the compromise between several goals and you need to think about how you pursue several goals at the same time.

In research, we often look at this in terms of finding activities that we refer to them as multifinal.

They achieve more than one goal.

Okay, it's like

My example is bringing lunch from home to your office.

This is healthier and saves you time and it's often better food, at least for me.

So you achieve several goals at the same time.

With older age, often you need to give more thought into

how to choose activities that allow you to interact with other people while also getting your daily exercise, while also maybe enjoying the fresh air outside, just bringing more to the same activity because maybe there are just less resources.

We also see that you need to drop some goals in your life.

And, you know, we always...

drop goals when they are no longer useful for us.

So maybe you used to run and at one point that didn't feel right for your body or you were unable to do it and you had to switch to a different exercise.

And people often have crisis when they need to switch from one goal to another, but goals need to be dropped.

So you can choose whether to look back or to look forward, right?

At any point, it's completely up to you.

You can look at what you achieved.

You can look at what is still missing.
