Jeff Bezos was 31 when he launched Amazon.  Vera Wang was in her forties when she became a fashion designer.  Darwin didn’t publish his book ‘On the origin of the species’ until he was 50.  Harland Sanders was in his sixties when he first franchised KFC. My parents still tune into Netflix and like my latest posts on social media, even though they are well into retiring ages. You don’t have to look very hard for countless examples of actors, artists, entrepreneurs and authors who didn’t reach their peak of opportunity until they were well past their twenties; the people you are looking for could even be a part of your family and you need but ask. If what you are doing brings you joy, who is to tell you that you are too old to continue to be happy.

It made me realise how self-limiting my beliefs were.  There will be things that you naturally don’t want to do anymore as you age.  However, it doesn’t matter if everyone around you is stopping what they’re doing, it shouldn’t translate into you stopping too.

Just because you haven’t done something before, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it now.  Don’t conform to society’s beliefs about age, they don’t serve you.  Conform only to what will ultimately make you the happiest even if it is gaming well into your 80’s.

The truth is, when you’re very young, you’re not always sure of your path. Even if you do know what you want, circumstances or finances may stand in your way.  Sometimes, the answers or the opportunities don’t present themselves until a bit further along in life.  This is when you shouldn’t let your age hold you back.

If it’s physically possible for you then go for it, even if it isn’t, strive to find a way to attain what it is you desire. Whether it’s simply starting to swim when you’re approaching middle age or building a million-dollar empire in your 70’s, remember you are not a failure if you don’t make it, you are a success because you tried, but do not simply try, just do it.
