I hope my friends can see me as an example that itâs not true. You can find yourself in the best position of your life because you have lived life.
I know sometimes it feels like, In this world, only the young have any hope. You are too old for everything by the time you are 25. If you havenât done it â wrote a hit song, topped the bestsellers list, won a gold medal, itâs almost as if itâs over for you.
Iâm not sure why society is hellbent on trying to convince you that youâre contributions are no longer required. When your experience is needed more than ever.
No matter what the vocal few think, Itâs never too late to shape your own life â do what makes you happy. The party is open to everyone just as long as we are willing to step out of our comfort zone.
When you step into the club that is life, youâre bombarded with light and sound, representing all the opportunity that is open to you. Some of us will embrace it, but unfortunately, most will be overwhelmed by it. You will be at an advantage if youâre old enough or wise enough because youâve seen it all before.
Thereâs nothing the DJ can drop on the decks that would surprise you. Youâve heard it before, done it and bought the T-Shirt.
So never discount the adventures youâve been through because they will set you apart from the competition. Donât ever be like the partygoers who stand or sit on the fringes of the nightclub, commenting, criticising or forever pondering whether to join the brave souls strutting their stuff on the dance floor. The dancers are the ones who are fully experiencing life, taking risks and striving to be better. And if youâve been dancing long enough, you pick up the steps
of some of the moves you thought you could never master. All through developing powerful habits of observation and practice.
Donât believe the hype of it being too late. Donât fool yourself into thinking itâs not for you. Donât get trapped into inaction by comparing yourself to your peers. Use that comparison as a spur and get on the dance floor.
Youâre never too late. Itâs your attitude thatâs important.Â
