Don't be distracted by age. Age truly is just a number. Don't let it define you. Be positive. Zig Ziglar said, "It's your attitude and not your aptitude that determines your altitude."
Age is an artificial barrier that too many people use to put limitations on their brain. When one consider the massive list of achievements done by individuals who ignore their age and focus on achieving, producing, and creating, you should be motivated and inspired to do the same in your life.
To put it in another way, "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."
Whether it's taking up a new hobby, committing to a personal bucket list item, revitalizing, reinvigorating an old vocation, recalibrating one's life, finally taking the vocation, or starting a new career, fulfilling lives are those that keep moving forward, keep dreaming and intently (and intentionally) focus on an ongoing commitment to productivity, progress and achievement.
Regardless of your age and life stage, there is a signal to you that time is running out and you need to focus on your finish. Some of us see it as a wake-up call and face the last lap with great excitement and what has being called a runner's high. Still others became panicked and fearful of what lies ahead. Their fear is often focused on the unknown. Yet just as anyone who has had the unfortunate experience of being chased by a dog knows, fear can be an amazing motivator.
Imagine how many Olympic records would be broken if every sprinter had a vicious Doberman pinscher behind a starting block ready to chase the runner when the starter pistol was fired.
Everyone of us has dreams, aspirations, bucket list, and plans to do something, visit someplace, and subtly or blatantly who we are and what we do. Everything in business and life is five percent ideas and ninety five-percent work and execution. Most of us live in the five percent. We have no shortage of ideas. Sadly, hope has escaped many of us, and dreams have been forgotten. Facing your future boldly and excitedly will motivate you to bring a project to closure, to fulfil a dream, and to be proud of realizing an important life purpose.
Ah, the search for your individual life's purpose is vital. The realization, then achievement, of that purpose is called fulfillment.
My single favorite saying is, "the two most important day in your life is the day you were born and the day you found out why." Call it your why or your purpose, it's the very same thing.
As Andre Maurois said, " Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy man has no time to form." The real achievers in life understand it's not how old you are but, more importantly, how you are old.
Acknowledging and respecting all these represent will lead you a goal-oriented, focused and productive and revitalize your life with yet another new purpose.
This is all about life fulfilment.
