It's a common theme as you get older. The thoughts that what you've done up to this point hasn't been enough.
"I'm 30 and I still haven't..."
"I'm 40 and I can't believe I didn't know this before..."
"I'll be 50 before I accomplish this goal..."
"Why didn't I know, do, achieve, get "this" so many years ago?"
I was having these thoughts recently and BAM! something wonderful occurred to me! I should want more. I look forward to still learning when I'm 45, 50, 60, 65, 77... whatever age I am, I hope to still want more. Why haven't I already done it? Because I haven't. Will I accomplish it? Well, we'll just see, won't we?
And what if I DON'T accomplish "IT"?? What then? NOW, I'm older and still in the same place... or am I? I mean...Really? Whatever it is - starting your own business, getting in shape, getting married, getting divorced, working on your relationship(s)...if you don't accomplish exactly what you set out to, take a look at what you did do by just trying.
I look forward to, every year, striving for more. Trying for better... not settling, not accepting the thought that "I'm too old now" or "It's too late"...Yeah, I like that...Life is good...How old am I? hehe...
