My Neighbor Ray

24,169 views

At age 90, Raymond J. Cleveland takes no medications and is pain free. He eats everything he pleases; sees well, rests well and IS well. His neighbor, Michael Glassoff, curious about this man whose eyes radiated with light and who waved at anyone who passed by with deep affection, asked Ray where he finds this overflowing joy. Watch this interview to hear Ray share his practical pointers on how to live a life of joy, free from anger.

Be The Change

Watch "Everything is a Present," an interview with Alice Herz Sommer, who at 108, attributes her survival of the concentration camps and cancer to her music, optimism and gratitude.

Ray attributes his health and well-being to counting his blessings every day. In this article, Dr. Robert Emmons, the world's leading scientific expert on gratitude, tells us "Why Gratitude is Good."

"You can learn a lot from a human, even though he don't know he's teaching you. But at the same time, if you listen, you'll learn something of value" ~ Raymond Cleveland. Listen deeply to a human being today.
