It’s Never Too Late

When it comes to the question of why we haven’t achieved our goals, we make a lot of excuses. It’s painful to think it may be too late to reach for our dreams. It can be hard to admit we’ve given up on our dreams, or that we didn’t try hard enough, or that we lacked the courage to take the leap.

Are You Too Old?

But out of all the excuses we give ourselves, the one that seems to carry the most weight for the most people is this: they think they’re too old. Do you think you’re too old to achieve your dreams?

It seems logical to believe you’re too old for many of the goals you’ve set. If you wanted to be a football player, then you’ll struggle if you’re over 30. It’s definitely too late to become an astronaut. There are very few famous actors aged 50.

That all sounds logical, but really, they’re just excuses. There’s still no reason you can’t be any those things. The only difference? You’re starting later. That’s it.

It’s Not Too Late

For example, there’s actually a lot of work for older actors in soap operas, movies or sitcoms. You just start by taking on a few bit parts.There’s no reason you can’t write a book. Self publishing really is a thing. And did you know far more business owners launched their companies in their 40s-60s, than those in their 20s or 30s? Those in midlife have more knowledge, as well as more resources and more connections. You might be too old to be an astronaut, but you can always sign up for Virgin Galactic. Still want to play football? Join an over 50s league. Want to travel? You absolutely still can.

No Excuses

The point is, many of the excuses we make don’t hold up when placed under scrutiny. And in fact, in many ways it becomes easier to be successful when you’re older. For example, as a musician you might find a more accepting audience for music aimed at your age group. Want to act? Your local theatre company would love to have you. And as a writer, you have the breadth of your experience to draw on.

So stop with the excuses! Get out there and keep trying. And even if you never make it, the journey is what makes life so rewarding anyway.

To help remind you that you can still achieve your goals, I’ve created a fun printable to help us remember that it’s never too late to be what you might have been.
