So you’ve made a few mistakes, and some good choices. We are usually a mixture of both. Regardless of your past, you always have the opportunity to change your future. People develop their opinions of us, depending on the experiences they have had with us. So it makes sense when there are certain people in your life; whether currently or in the past, that may think you are not capable of the change you are trying to accomplish.
The point is that it doesn’t matter what people think. What does matter is that you stick to your plan, and move forward with the ideas that you have, that are motivating you to create positive change in your life. Experience helps define our past but does not create our future. Do not let your past relationships or work experiences predict your future capability. You can learn a new skill, develop a new business idea and redefine yourself. Regardless of your age.
I know there are people out there, in their 50’s and 60’s, who feel that they have lost their “window of opportunity,” to be whatever it is they wanted to be. Well, every day you talk about it and do nothing towards it is another day wasted. Look at it this way; in your 20’s, 30’s and 40’s you most likely had multiple things that prevented you from doing what you wanted to. Now, you do have the time to go back to school or train for something else. The only thing stopping you is you. So STOP IT! Make one decision today towards your goal because you CAN do this! Show them all! But most importantly show YOU! “Now, let’s get going.” xo Sally
