It’s Never too Late

Colonel Sanders was in his seventies when he started Kentucky Fried Chicken because he didn’t let age stop him from going after his dreams.

Just had a spotlight interview about my book…  The subject came up about how middle aged and seniors today are lost and wondering what to do with the rest of their lives.  This is the third time I have run into this surprising topic.  However, as we age we have the most awesome wisdom to offer the world, many years of experience and mistakes out of the way, and middle aged people have the best opportunity to finally live their passion.  Yet, people give up and feel it’s too late or some other unrealistic excuse that keeps them from going after what they really want.  It’s never too late and we can go after what we really want at any age…so why wait?  In my book I write about starting over at any age and the fulfilling meaning that comes from finally making a decision to do so.  So to everyone out there who is young and you’re not sure of what you want to do, and everyone out there who is older and know what your talents and passions are, go after what your authentic self knows you are meant to do…now!  We all have a talent and you find that talent through your passions. It’s never too early or too late to go after what makes you feel alive.

Don’t Compare Yourself to Others

“Don’t compare yourself to other people…don’t compare, don’t compare, don’t compare!  It doesn’t matter how much more others have in any area, you are beautiful exactly the way you are.  And when you start to accept this, find the best of what is in you and make use of it, life will be beautiful as well.”  Velinda

From my book:  This River Called Life, A Letter to My Children

When you feel good…all is possible

For me…the most important for us…try to find something we feel good about.  When you feel good, all impossible becomes possible.  Only believe.  Manuel De Los Santos

Judgment

I’ve often thought about how much opportunity we pass up when we judge people.  Judgment is not necessarily based on fact.  Judgment is not necessarily based on knowledge.  Judgment is about opinion.  And what if that opinion is wrong? Judgment is more frequently about criticism and fear than anything real. What if you just passed up the best opportunity you could have had at the moment because of a wrong opinion?  Let go of judgment and give everything a chance.

Love…

“Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own”

Risk

“Great freedom comes in taking risks, stepping outside that tiny little line that society prescribes as “normal”  Pam Grout

Life is full of Possibility

Life is full of possibility, healing, growth and re-birth. A negative past does not have to define who you are. What has been in your life up till now has nothing to do with what can be

Relationships are Work

Most of us are probably allured by the attractive notion that effortless relationships exist.  Whether happily ever after marriages, friendships which last forever, or parenting, we would all like to believe that our most intimate relationships are unconditional and strong enough to withstand whatever may come. However, at some point in our lives we need to face the reality that relationships require effort to keep them alive and positive.  Even wonderful, close, strong relationships can be destroyed by neglect.
