One of the great things about getting older. If you haven't paid attention, you get wiser. And that's something that really is true. And what I mean by wiser, you get wiser is certain ways, certain things and usually get wiser to you experience by paying attention to what your surroundings, paying attention to behaviors. It's a wonderful thing. I recent this weekend has situation where people praying. People got lot
of stuff going on in their own individual lives. It's just you know, which is just you know, their all stuff. It is. Everybody has their own lives and their own lives past, and you learn as you get older. One of the things you get wiser with is you also learn that everyone has their own agendas. And when you say agenda, doesn't be anything bad necessarily, just everybody has their own agendas. Everybody has their own Everybody does things
for different reasons, including myself. We all do stuff and you learned that after a while, and it's not always bad, and sometimes it aligns with what you're doing and what you want and it works, sometimes it works against you, and it all depends. It can be good or bad
or different. So it'sa be depends, but Also it could also be very helpful when dealing with other people because if you really kind of if you kind of get their agenda, it can help you either in how to proceed in something, how to act a certain way, how to manage your emotions. It can be a great thing. So it's not gonna be a post of be like griping and be upset. It's kind of like a positive post, just meaning that it's funny. For me, I take everything
very seriously. It's you know, to a certain extent, anything that I do, I'm very serious about. And people know about me. I'm in a thousand percent. So if I have commitments or anything, I'm very strong with them unless something emergencies happen. Things happen all the time, it can happen, but I'm all about to be clear communication and try to give you at least some kind notice if I
can that kind of thing. And there are people in my life who I know their agendas where it's all about them of course, and it's all about them and how to fect them want them. And I chuckled this weekend because of cold people who what I needed from them was not important, nothing dire, nothing like that, just they were needed for. There is something at the last minutes.
Suddenly it's just like, here's chaos, James, here's what. I have a long story about this over here and a story about this over here, and I'm going, okay, I don't even need the need for me. I'm very much like this cut to the chase. I don't need a long story, but I but I know from their patterns, from knowing these people for a long time and knowing how they are, I'm going, Okay, you didn't do certain things, so you're not really prepared. So this thing comes up.
It's super simple. I'm gonna take that uh and go there, leaving me holding the bag, so to speak. But I'm not even super upset. I'm just kind of like, Okay, I know who you are so and it's funny, so I'll act accordingly. Okay, got it, good luck. I don't do I don't do much. I don't go I don't go back and forth. I don't ask all these questions. I'm just like, Okay, we'll have fun or no problem, see you next week, no problem, talk to you later. I'm like, I don't I mean, and I for exam.
People made people. Some people may think, oh, change is pissy's manner. No, I moved on. I have to. I have so much going on in my life that I don't have a time. And that's nothing. You get older too, you alstill have time to deal with solve this stuff. You're just like, Okay, got it, gonna move on. This is not happening. God, you gotta get over it quickly, move on and small these things. Because it wasn't life or distribuation. I was like, Okay, these couple of things
came up. I'm fine, But I have one person who kept just coming at me, still pushing kind of a side agenda. That made me laugh because I was like, oh, because you really really now want to do this and I'm not interested in doing it. I took care of it. Whatever, I'm not doing it. You're trying to push this. You don't push this hard ever. Now I don't think she ever listened to the show, but I just I'm not gonna say the name. But this person was like, for example,
you know I'm gonna do that. I was gonna be shady, and I'm like, I'm i gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that because it can I don't want. I don't want to sell a mess and probably I'm just I just really want to share this as a lesson for us fifty plus about just knowing people have agendas and it's okay as long as you kind of get an idea what those agendas are, you see their patterns,
you pay attention, it can save you some heartache. That's the main objective of this of this podcast episode, just that there are times when I expected people to do stuff, they don't do it the last wads and I was devastated, hurt, angry, bitter. But I have learned to take lemons and make lemonade sometimes and I did that this weekend. Also with these situations,
I had to deal with actually glad a lemonade. So in the end, on some level it will still work in my favor and there will be some winds out of it, so that's still good. But the original thing that I was going to do won't happen, but there would be some wind It's took me some wins out of it, and actually it was a smart idea of what I decided to do. And I'm not playing into you because I'm older and out of time. I'm not going to play into these other people's agendas that they're
trying to put on me. Just Okay, life is life and life is good and we're gonna move on and that's that. You just learned that. So I usually learn that. You learn that, and it's a glorious feeling because also when you change your mindset, is it being angry the rest of the weekend, I was like, oh, this opens up, This opens up the opportunity for me to do this. For example, for me, it was okay, I can now go out. I need to go out in the garden
anyway and finish water. It's really hot, and I got a new I got a new plant, and I really need to water it. And so it's like, oh, well, now I actually have time cause it's earlier in the day to water this plant and get out there and do it, get some fresh air, and it it open up all those possibilities on this stuff. Or there's another thing that happened to be when I was like, why do you go to bed? I'd get that sleep I didn't get cause I was tired, you know what I mean?
Like it opened up other opportunities. So I was like, what do you really literally say well, one door close, another one opens. It's the truth, it really is. One door closes, another one opens, it's it's it's no joke, it really does happen. So that's a great thing too. So I just wanted to say down, get that out. It was fifty plus. I'm James Lott Junior. We're learning lessons of education never stops, and I'll tautch you next time.
