I let go of a relationship of a friend I had for over 30 years during the pandemic, because she was always making me feel bad about myself. Life is too short to have people in it that make you feel bad about yourself. I have not missed her for 1 second, and that was a couple of years ago. 👍🏻
Friends like children grow up and move away. Often the relationship has run it's course. Just because someone was once dear to us, and has now moved on, doesn't negate the fact that once they were dear to us. Loving people and letting them go sometimes is the healthiest thing for all parties involved. I commend your courage for making the choice to chose healthy over comfort. 🤗
My eldest sister cleaned houses for years before she died of an aneurysm. She was also a philosopher. My Aunt cleaned offices and homes all her life before succumbing to COPD (from chemicals probably, she never smoked ever). She, too, had great statements on daily living management that pulled her through and which she shared with everyone --- and she made a ton of money, most she gave away to the poor and the indigents in our family.
I hate confrontation or asking people for things. I wish I overcome these things, I am in my 50's too and I have so many things to learn. Life is not easy but I get by each day. There are so many things I wish I knew in my 20's. But life is all about learning so I guess it is never too late to learn something new if only I had that confidence. Thank you for the video.
It is never to late to learn something. Just give it a try. My team and myself are always learning new things to make our videos and content better. You can do it too!
I love this. When I turned 50 I went through major transitions back to back and within a year I had transformed into a calmer, more content human. I just want to LIVE, until I die. Haha!
We moved into a house last month that sat empty for two years through West Texas dust storms. Your channel carefully and warmly walked me through cleaning my white tiled shower, white blinds, and baseboards; today, you have me taking an inventory of lessons I learned and note the ones I'm learning today. I'm thankful I found you. Please do keep it up!!!
Congratulations on your new move and new home. I'm so excited for you and excited we've connected. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to reach out. Welcome! :-)
Thanks for saying so. I remember one time I was so upset with one of life's lessons that I put on a pair of running shoes and took off running as fast as I could. I was having an internal dialogue while crying and running and I shouted at the top of my lungs: "WHAT IS THE LESSON IN THIS?" LOL. And then I started laughing because I knew if this is how I solve a problem of this magnitude (running and looking for the silver lining) I was going to make it through okay. And I did. 🙏
Always such words of wisdom!!! I learn so much from your video. I like the way you have a kind heart but still take the bull by the horns when it's necessary.
No way that you are in your 50's! I used to be a "people pleaser" too. Now that I am getting ready to turn 60 and a widow, you either like me or not and we can agree to disagree. Keep those vacations coming 🏖
As always, Angela, thank you for sharing your experiences and wisdom! You have been a part of my growth and I love the kind attitude you show, even with icky situations/people. 🤗👍👍
Thank you for your videos. I just discovered you. I Just started cleaning houses and was doing good with little houses and little 1br apartments that just take me 2 hrs to clean. I just got to clean a 7,000 sq ft. House. I charged per hr but I am having a hard time when I think of all the work I did in the first 4 hrs. I would love more videos of how to charge on little houses compared to mansions please
I have zero regrets BECAUSE of the lessons I learned and the wisdom I have gained. I'm only in my very early 40s, and I'm STILL learning new things every day! I believe that's the meaning of life, to learn as much as we can about this thing called life.
What a lovely and smart vlog. 💕 I’m 62 and I am the clean ‘Everything’ on my own type of woman. Raised by a ‘50’s housewife……..Never have hired anyone ever , but, sometimes I wish I had…..babies in the ‘90’s. I love listening to your wisdom, I m sorry for any discomfort that had come. Keep posting all of your thought .. really appreciate you 💜❤️🎉💜
Great video and great insights! One thing I'm pondering today as this video AND another one from a different channel on a similar topic about wisdom gained since the person's 20s both popped up on my feed is the reciprocal reality: I wish I knew NOW what I knew THEN or "Lessons I've forgotten since my 20s." I was doing a lot right then that I just haven't been able to keep up with as I've gotten older. I started with lots of good habits around health, relationships, and money that have gradually waned and been replaced by bad habits. And I certainly had A LOT more energy and a much better overall attitude. I think it is important to look back on the lessons learned since young adulthood, and certainly I've made improvements in lots of areas of my life and I'm happy with where I am -- but I think for me, I'll dedicate the next couple months to trying to relearn some of the lessons and skills I had then and lost. I don't think progress and wisdom are linear paths, and certainly one isn't only ever improving in every area of their lives. There are tradeoffs and you might take a step forward in one area only to take two back somewhere else.
You've got some really great points here. Thanks for sharing this. I too have done the one step forward and two steps back approach. For me it is also related around health issues. Every year I do a physical reboot where I do an exercise program for 100 days without fail. During the 100 days of course sleep and eating habits improve and I get back on track with my good habits again. That lasts for the better part of a year and then like a slippery slide down I go again. So I'm on day 22 now of my most recent reboot. I need to just make this part of my life non-negotiable to trade offs. (Maybe that is the lesson I learn in my 50's) Thanks for the wake-up call. Woot Woot! ♥👏🙌
@@AskAngelaBrown Doing a 100 day reset is such a great idea! Congrats on being 23 days in now and good luck with the remainder! Definitely something I should look into. :)
That's not a bad idea a video about cleaning what she wish she had known or common ways people clean that are not the easiest or work very well but yet people keep doing it that way not knowing a better way.
A crossroads? This sounds like a very important time of your life. Thanks for taking a break to drop in today. May your journey down the next road be filled with love, laughter and fun. :-)
I try to live with, “No Regret”. In my opinion you are being way too hard on yourself and instead realize that you’re kind and caring and willing to help others/Us. I’m, thankful to have you on Utube grateful you started when you did. What you have learned is to not share your dreams, aspirations or goals, people unfortunately, think they know what’s good for you/us. I know now, that if I don’t try, I won’t succeed. I know now, to not try, to not follow my instinct’s to not try is failure. When we try there will be, hurdle after hurdle but perseverance always pays off. You know now and I do too, that family is first. It makes lives better and makes better employees. We now know to not sweat the small stuff, stuff happens when you’re working, doing something. And things are less likely to happen if you’re not preoccupied with something at home. I feel like you shared your regrets with us❣️To me, without your regrets I wouldn’t be learning from you, like I am and truly thankful you are who you are, caring, sharing and willing to share your knowledge. Truly & Sincerely, Thank You Beautiful Soul. ♥️✌🏽🙏🏽
Hearing it said that experience is the best teacher while observing that it is better to learn from someone else's experience when possible motivates me to volunteer to teach from the best and oldest examples if it encourages and lessens the stress of another. Pr. 1:22-2:22 Best blessings,
Experience will give you a deeper understanding for the sheer fact you're in the trenches fighting to survive. Learning from others is like standing outside the trenches peering in going "ah, I get it now." The question is how deep of an understanding does one need. ;-) Best Blessings in return. :-)
I realize that you already know this, but I was thinking as I was watching the video that life is full of lessons like that, and it just takes time for us to learn the lessons. That's a big part of what life is all about it seems...is learning. (at least it is for me! lol). I'll be 70 very soon, and I'm thinking...there is still so much I "don't" know haha.
Oh no, that takes a lot of courage to say that. LOL. Because I'm thinking that of course, I know it all now right? (I don't admit it out loud because as soon as I do, life's lessons come knocking and they smack me upside the head.) 😂😂😂
Yes, lessons I learned the hard way. I'm starting to see writing on the wall now in new situations "Hey, this new situation is like that situation from the past. Any chance I can repurpose some of the hard knocks from then to now and shortcut this learning curve?" LOL. Am I crazy or what? 😆
Omg you are so spot on I am so frustrated that I am determined to learn about social media, digital media and graphic design which I have completed social media mktg
Oh, what I wouldn't give to have had these lessons in my 20's. In my twenties I learned some real doozie lessons. Took me years to recover from. I'd gladly take today's lessons back then if it meant I could bypass the ones I had to go through to get here. 🤓
There is always a bully, nasty, person making comments on you tub creators. I can’t help but answer them for the creator, because the creator can’t. It really makes me angry. Why do they watch their videos if they don’t agree? Just to be mean, I guess. Very sad.😢
The list of things I wish I knew in my 20's is 30 years long. I wish I had kept up with technology and not been afraid of learning it. I have been forced to learn some of it in order to do my job during the plague ZOOM-A ZOOM-A ZOOM! :) I don't even know how to make a video and put it on UA-cam. ok, I can make a video on my phone but I can't edit it and I don't know how to upload it to anywhere except google docs. I am a dinosaur. Thank you. :))
You mentioned having a soft spot for those that are unintentionally creating problems. How do you handle those situations? What did you end up saying to the offender about it?
In this particular situation, in our group meetings once a week I addressed the issues of concern so the entire team would know I was aware and giving that person yet another chance. (That behavior would be corrected and they would do something new to create chaos.) I had daily conversations with the offender both in person, by phone and via text as situations would arise. I gave plenty of space for learning, growth and change. And when the behavior became belligerent, I released them from their duties with my company.
LOL. Thanks. True story - when I was young I wanted to be older - but how much older? I picked 40. So I've been 40 in my head for about 30 years. I still think I'm 40. I think that is the perfect age for all things. LOL.
