You Are NEVER Too Old…

Repeat after me. You are never too old. 

I practice yoga a few times a week. When I’m lucky, I get to practice with Phyllis. Phyllis is 95. She started yoga when she was 80. She’s freaking amazing. You can read more about her in this LA Times article. Why do I bring up Phyllis? Because I can’t tell you how many people in their late 30’s to early 50’s tell me that they’re “too old” or that it’s “too late”. 

BULL. SHIT. Just ask Phyllis. Phyllis started a business at 50 and tried the trapeze at 75. It is never too late and you are NEVER too old. You can go back to school, start a business, write a book, adopt a baby, change careers, learn to cook or whatever the hell else you want to do. The only thing that is stopping you…is YOU.

What is it that your soul desires? I’m totally serious. If you get quiet for a minute and sit with yourself and stop listening to that team of loudmouths in your head that are running the show telling you the you’re too old or you have to do this or you should do this… if you tell them to zip it and you listen to your gut, what is it telling you? What do YOU want? Not because you should or you think you have to. Because it’s what your soul desires. It’s the burning thing that you come back to time and again. When you have a health scare. Or when someone you love dies. Or when you get honest and think about how you want to be remembered in this world. When you get reflective and boil it down to the basics, (which most of us only do in moments where we realize life is fragile) what do you want? And if that’s what you REALLY want, then what is stopping you from going after it? 

What will it take for you to create the life you want? Who will you need to be? And what can I do to support you? Because you might as well stop thinking that you should have started sooner and just start NOW. I’m here to cheer you on…take that first step and see where it will lead you.
