I have found that at "retirement", I have had to reevaluate my friends. I lost my job at 60. Now, I realize, money will be more tight in retirement. I'm fine with doing free things like walking, hiking, share a cup of coffee or book club, but I can't afford to eat out, go to plays/concerts or travel. I have found it hard to keep friends who won't spend time doing the "cheaper" stuff with me. I save so I can join them for the group birthday lunches out, but find it boring to listen to them drone on about the wardrobe they bought for their latest vacation. These were people I was friends with for years but now finances have psychologically separated me. Does that make sense to anyone?

There is still a lot that is available to you, beautiful drives in the country, having a picnic then, or camping, you meet great people camping! That's the benefit, you don't meet people at hotels! Learning to cook, and you know what goes into your food! Making a house home, candles, music, a better athmosphere than restaurants! I'm a 'cheeper' myself. Meet nice people at thrift stores. Never met anyone at Macy's. Good luck! Maybe get a dog or a cat if you don't have one.

The simple pleasures are those worth living for. I have more than I will ever spend. But I lost my wife to m.s. right before we were to both retire together to RV across the country. I can tell you the motorhome, the cars, the gear, the stuff, has zero meaning now. I focus on the simple pleasures by choice. And if friends boast of material things that they have, knowing full well that a fellow friend has experienced a financial setback in their life, then those are not friends. Those are competitors. New company is needed.

When I was 50 my dad died with a lot of money in the bank but never having lived because mom wouldn’t. I instantly learned that I was gonna die too so I started living life. One kid at a time I took all four of them on really cool trips around America. I am 10 trips in. I detoxified my life by being less political and I fought like crazy to be positive around my kids and wife. People noticed the difference in me. 😀 About three years ago I started going to concerts even though my wife wouldn’t join me. That’s OK. I still have a great time. I’ve been to three concerts in the last three weeks. I feel blessed.

This is why I believe many conversations about difficult issues are a waste of time. Such conversations often center around one partner/spouse trying to change the behavior of the other partner/spouse. It's more productive and realistic to accept that a partner's/spouse's behavior doesn't work for you and part ways.

Ideally you’d know yourself better and either choose somone else from the getgo, or resolve to accept someone else less conditionally. We all have idiosyncratic tendencies and we’d never survive as a species if everyone was a “lone wolf” all their life. When you’re unable to get around anymore most people remember/ reminisce about connections and travel. There’s nothing like forming a bond with someone in a foreign land together. It forces you to work together and triumph over adversity which builds trust and respect when someone else makes you a priority and makes sacrifices for you.

I agree with you on every point. One thing that I would add is, ”Avoid destination addiction!” I used to do this but now that I’m older I have found that it’s useless. Don’t tell yourself that: -when I have this -I’d be happy if -I’d be happier when -if, then, after…. Live for today. Time is precious and every day is valuable. Don’t tell yourself that things will change, come, happen later when you are at that “destination.” There may never be a later! Bloom where you are planted. The journey is the destination!!! 😊 Love your videos and relating to someone who is like-minded. Thank you.

And sometimes, even if you ARE hurting them. One of the easiest ways to control a sensitive person is to say, “When you don’t do what I want, it really hurts me.” A very common way to CONTROL nice people. Learn to say no to anyone who wants you to always put their feelings above yours.

You are so right about every thing you spoke of in this video. I think I learned these lessons myself while I was still relatively young. I have a reputation amongst family members and acquaintances of being a "loner" and some of them think I'm anti-social. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am always interested in other people. I have to walk a fine line between coming off as nosey and being interested in who another person is and what they are like beyond the superficial being that they are. As a young boy - around age 13 or maybe 14 I had a genuine epiphany. After yet another moment of terror in my home (my father was a violently temperamental man) I did what I usually would do...After the shouting was over and while the tension was thick and hanging in the air I went out the front door of the house and began to walk - to nowhere in particular. Angry, frustrated, traumatized I swung a clinched fist into a stop sign down on the corner near my house. Really messed up my hand but that's not really relevant to this story. After damaging my hand I continued walking - cool late fall day little or no traffic, hazy day...I heard a voice - someone was speaking to me. I did NOT hear the voice in my ears ...it was a voice nonetheless and I could not identify it as either a male voice or a female voice. The voice said in a knowing and understanding way and not really with pity or even sympathy but I would say it was comforting - just a calming clear voice and it said to me: "Danny, not everything that happens is your fault - sometimes things that happen are out of your control" I did not stop walking when the voice spoke but continued my walk wondering if I really heard what I heard - questioning if it was my imagination. The voice had been clear and pure and I came to the conclusion that it was real. To this day (at age 73) I know that an angel of God spoke to me in that moment. This experience shaped the way I looked at things - especially things other people said and did as I navigated my way through life. It gave me the Knowledge that there are reasons and sometimes "causes" for things said and done that are not within my realm of control - they also are not within the realm of my knowing. There are "reasons" that are unavailable to me - and to you. It was through this message that I came to know that I have no power to make anyone else think or do or say or believe anything - anything at all. While I have the ability to share my thoughts, beliefs, ideas I have no power to make anyone else accept them or to believe them. I came to learn that I cannot change anyone - nor can I save anyone from himself. While I can share or offer an opinion or a perspective on something what that other person does with it is entirely out of my hands - it is entirely up to them to do with it what they will. My wife died 4 years ago (we were together for about 20 years) and although I feel lonely also am very ok being alone. Facebook and You tube are a big help for me. Those media sites give me the opprtunity to remain well informed about life in general and more importantly they give me the chance to express my own thoughts and feelings and insights. My brain is quite active thanks to those two social media sites. I still feel engaged with life - humanity because of them. Thank you for your videos - I do appreciate the topics you address in your videos and I find myself looking forward to your next posts. Regards, DS

Great advice and insights! You are so beautiful and inspiring. My motto has been lately - live your life today and enjoy every moment. Working with the geriatric population reminds me of this every day. I ask my patients often if they look back and have thoughts about what they could have done differently in their lives. The answer is almost always the same - I wish I could enjoy life more than I did, spend more time with those I loved, traveled, worried less.. etc. No matter who you are or what you have, it all will end one day. Therefore, live your life today the best you can! Thank you for your channel!

Very nice list. For me - I always need a project, big or small but something to work towards. I think it is the "Harry Home Owners - Home Depot Guy" inside of me. At 64 we moved from New England and bought a 40 acre home and farm. Two years ago I lost my wife after a very long illness which left a gigantic hole in my life. I still run an overseas business, but I also started planting a black walnut orchard with a goal of establishing 3,000 trees for my kids benefit. I am 800 trees into my project which I do not ever expect to see the end results, but my kids will have a grand pay day when they are my age, and they can harvest the timber.

Here’s an idea for a future video. “Things I learned in life that contribute to a more positive relationship.” Here’s my two cents. (1) Look for reasons to be grateful for your partner, not reasons to be ungrateful. (2) Show grace. We all have our shortcomings. (3) Relationships aren’t a 50-50 proposition. Each person should give 100%. Of course all of these are much easier to do if your partner is also invested in the relationship.

Give thanks because your car is running well and give thanks for the many, many small things in your life. Next, if you see a homeless person, give that person all the money in your pocket because that person has none of the above to be thankful for. Give it some time, but you will begin to feel different in a very good way. SphereMotor, the future of electricity

Knowing what you DO NOT want in life is a HUGE BENEFIT! What are your deal breakers? Mine are...I don't do narcissists, I don't spend time with those who only talk about themselves or are self-serving. I don't spend time with people who are shallow, ignorant, and don't care to continue to learn and become aware. I don't spend time around gossipers, people who are selfish, people who don't show kindness or have a belief in God/Source. People who are angry and lack self-control, I avoid at all costs. Once you get the basic deal breakers out of the way it's a whole lot easier to know what kind of people you like being around. It's not hard.

I've really enjoyed the simple way you explain things and the ease of how you go about it. I'm around the same age, live in WNY, and just started my YT channel after years of contemplating it; only because life had other plans for me first. I guess it just gave me more to share for when I was ready, ( Still not quite sure of a theme yet). I think one of the biggest life lesson, for me was that I feared getting to this age most of my life. I really believed I would no longer be me and that I would be either dead or old and frumpy, (as told to me when I was 10 years old). Lucky for me, I started doing a lot of what you talk about, regarding self help and have become more educated with several of the different techniques and modalities I've learned over the decades certainly was healed by. I started it all in my 30's and continue to learn to this day. Still, I can't say, I'm thrilled being the age I am and maybe that's my ego struggling to survive, who knows. I am grateful for all the experiences and knowledge I've obtained along the way. Wishing you continued success with your channel and life. 💯💫🙏🏻

Great video, and I really like the subject matter. Especially the first point about how you can't "change" people - they have to decide for themselves and that's it. One thing I will say is, now that I'm older and two whole years into retirement, I don't "sweat" it too much if people disagree with me on anything from social issues to politics to sports or anything. I am becoming more and more comfortable with just smiling and saying nothing or simply avoiding situations where certain discussions may arise that could lead to discomfort - and with the holidays coming up, that will be put to the test starting next week. LOL. Life is getting pretty short for me if I look at it from a percentage standpoint, and I'd rather not get angry. LOL. Thanks for the video.

Totally agree on your topics and I think you covered all the main ones. I did not learn a lot of these until I was 45 years old or so. I finally learned how to move on, quit pleasing people, making myself happy, not thinking and trying to get everyone to like and appreciate me, just supporting other in grief sorrow, quit trying to change people. Some of this I found through work experience or reading , but I finally realized these things as part or real life. In my case it took too long and and my kids could have benefitted sooner rather that later. I was pretty naive as a young adult and it took me awhile. Some never learn and never become truly happy. I am glad I did.

I'm a 60 year old gay man, and isn't it interesting that your topics/advice apply to everyone! I especially loved your video on internet/app dating. I felt like these dating experiences were also mine. Thank you.

I learned years ago not to get into a project. A friend of mine, another pilot, wanted to buy 2 project aircraft. He would fix one, and i would fix the other. His hangar that we were to work in, 1.5 hours away to drive there. One way. Not happening. All the time i spent going back and forth, i could spend in a rental aircraft. This upset my friend. I'm not sure it ended our friendship, but it tanked shortly thereafter....

I have a question: you say it consoles you that you’ll meet your father again in afterlife; will he be sick? Suddenly healthy again, young, old? Will he be just an energy you feel?

Sometimes the child says "no, I don't want the cookie". When they crave the cookie more than anything else. My Mom (r.i.p) worked with children. She would know.

It doesn't take long to figure out who these people are. Unfortunately our society has broken down, families have broken, children have suffered because of so much divorce. Can't make people up, we have to deal with what's out there, or be alone, and that doesn't seem to be the answer either. Just seek wisdom. State to people, 'if you do this, I will have to separate', not DUMP PEOPLE LIKE GARBAGE. You're not perfect either.

I'm going to disagree and call you out on the neg/pos energy nonsense. You've bought into this pablum. Energy by def is the ability to do work. What you might consider is encouraging your viewers to emit authentic and compassionate energy, then it's two way, a source and a sink. Then you're honestly and authenticity connecting with others. Being a phony always positive Polyana helps no one. Keep sharing your journey and perhaps share a bit more of your transition from being really depressed to now not so much and the contribution of loving individuals who helped you along the path? ❤

I don't get a "Polyana" as you call it vibe at all from her, she seems like a nice lady I think. She's not saying she's perfect or anything.

@titusrider7948 Күн бұрын
@lmccauley7319 I totally agree with you, I don't get that vibe either. Promoting to always be 'positive energy Polyana' when it's clearly not is phony and misses the opportunity to connect with another person who is honestly on the down. Be upfront, candid authentic and love will follow. 😊

About comparing your life to other people 's curated life on social media. There is a book by Mark Manson, the subtle art of not giving a f***. That is an excellent book about getting your priorities straight and not comparing yourself to others.
