It's not just an opinion.

It's a fact.

Marge Jeton, Marge, 105 years old, wakes up every morning at 6 a.m., reads her Bible.

Long-lived people are almost always religious, or they belong to a faith-based community.

Half hour, then she has her breakfast, and she's very prescriptive about her breakfast.

She has slow-cooked oatmeal, not the quick oats.

With dates, walnuts topped with soy milk, followed by what she calls a prune juice shooter.

Now, in America, prune juice is kind of a laxative, so you can kind of get the shooter end of that.

But then she goes and she's busy.

At 105, she's still...

volunteered for seven organizations.

She was in charge of a recycling program, a tape copying effort at her church.

She adopted a 78-year-old woman, and she'd get in her 1994 Cadillac, barrel down the San Bernardino Freeway in Los Angeles, where she would volunteer for these organizations, including the Loma Linda Senior Center, where she'd go help out the old folks.

Yeah.

who, of course, are like 40 years younger than she is.

But for me, she was the personification of purpose.

And what's purpose?

This is something we often don't think deeply enough about.

True purpose almost always has an altruistic element to it.

It's not just, you know, I love to knit or I love collecting cars.
