Believe it or not, it is never to late to begin again.
It is never to learn a dance, write a poem, skip through the park, build a fort, start a career, fly a plane, catch a breeze, try something new, or find success. The only limits are the ones we impose upon ourselves.
I often hear people say that they are too old to try something for the first time. I understand. After all, at 57 years old, I feel like I have done a lot and do not need to prove myself to anyone.
The truth is that I do have something to prove…to me. After all, how can you live an inspired life, or inspire others, if you never take the risks necessary to participate in new and exciting endeavors.
It’s not easy. Quite honestly, I find it difficult to begin new things. That familiar, but unwanted, negative thought about whether I can do it or not always creeps into my head. I have to do a lot of convincing, but eventually I settle in to the fact that life is too short to not at least try.
I would never be a blogger, author, or podcaster, if I didn’t make some decisions to begin again and put faith in myself and a feather in my own cap. Taking the first step is intimidating, but it seems I find my groove once I get going. That’s all you need. Your groove. That fine line in the sand into which you set your wheels in motion and plow your way through. It all begins with a positive mindset and a belief in yourself, and well…the realization that it is never too late.
Moments are, in a sense, timeless. They come and go as swiftly as the blink of an eye. There is no “too late” in all reality. There is just now.
Whatever direction you want your life to take is up to you. Do not blame your indecision on thinking it is too late. We all have opportunities, expectations, dreams, and beliefs. The trick is to make sure you examine them every day and remind yourself of their importance in your life. The other trick is to know that someone is on your side, encouraging you to finally move forward, regardless of age, time, or indecision.
Guess what? I’m that person who is on your side. I want to see you find happiness and success. I can’t wait to see where your groove takes you.
xoxo
Andrea
