Abstract
ABSTRACT The concept of paying it forward in the context of aging challenges us to create environments, practices, and policies today that anticipate and cater to the needs of aging people of tomorrow. The principle calls for a holistic approach that combines empathy, empowerment, inclusivity, and support to ensure that the later stages of life are embraced with dignity, purpose, and fulfillment. This article explores the multifaceted dimensions of aging within the ethos of paying it forward, emphasizing the collective responsibility to shape a future that enriches the aging experience for current and future generations. Through a series of studies featured in the latest issue of Activities, Adaptation & Aging: Dignified and Purposeful Living for Older Adults, this narrative delves into the adaptability and resilience of older adults, the pivotal role of community support and social participation, the importance of proactive and responsive care, the empowering potential of technology, and the profound impact of wellness practices on the quality of life.
