It’s Never Too Late
I’m sure that you all know people who’ve reached a certain age and are stuck in a mind-set that they’ll remain single for the rest of their lives, yes? All too often, you’ll hear them say, “It’s too late, and I’m not going to meet anyone now.” The same goes for people who feel that a promotion has passed them by and now it’s too late. Others may say that when it comes to something they might be interested in, “Well, I wanted to do that, but it’s too late now.”
This is just another form of being held ransom by your psychological fear. It’s never too late! I love this quote by George Eliot: “It’s never too late to be what you might have been.” A client recently told me a story of her aunt, who at the age of 70 went back to college to get a degree in English. Was it too late for her? She clearly didn’t think so. I also saw a TV show featuring a happy, lively 82 year-old man windsurfing on the ocean alongside all the twenty-something surfer dudes. Apparently, he didn’t believe he was too old for anything! I even have a friend in her mid fifties who decided to go back to school this fall, and is now enrolled in an online program to get her Master’s Degree in Web Design and Online Communications.
When you make excuses, you block positive people and situations from manifesting themselves in your life. These people and situations could bring you unlimited amounts of spirit energy, passion, and joy to your soul. The soul is ageless. It’s eternal. That’s why so many people say, “I really don’t feel that old.”
In reality, it’s your physical body that ages – not your soul. By tapping in to your soul and the power of your spirit that flows through it, you can feel youthful, as it brings energy and vitality to your physical body when you need it the most. It comes down to how you approach life, as well as how you’re taking care of yourself. If you really believe that you’re too old, then you know what happens, you just get older. I’ve known many people who don’t give in to the whole notion of what you can or can’t do at any age in your life. It’s societal conditioning that dictates how we should act at a certain age. My first administrative assistant has a very young minded 94-year-old mother, who volunteers once a week at a homeless shelter. I’ve seen people in their thirties act older than her mom. I hope that I’m that young at heart when I’m in my eighties! Let’s not forget Louise Hay who started Hay House Publishing late in life and is still active in the business at 87. It’s all how you think.
John’s Lesson
Here are a few steps to breaking free of the “It’s too late” syndrome.
Adopt an attitude of “It’s never too late.”
Try something new every day. Nobody says you’re too old to try.
Break out of your routine once in awhile
Believe in yourself.
Don’t listen to others if they say, “Your too old.”
If you’re passionate about something, you can achieve it!
Associate with people who ‘do’ rather than ‘say’.
Enroll in that evening class or online workshop you’ve always wanted to join.
Don’t let your excuses hinder your potential to achieve.
Don’t live a life of regrets, and become one of those who say, “If only I had…”
Remember if you are drawn to something, no matter how old you are, it could possibly be your soul saying, “Yes this is for me and it will make me happy!”
Live a Soul-filled life!
