I really and strongly believe if you feel you have lost your youthful exuberance for life, then you have given in and let life pass you by, but it’s nowhere too later to turn the ride.All that hope you had as a kid, needn’t have gone away and you shouldn’t be hoping for retirement as some kind of “escape” from life.
For the record, so many have turned “retirement” into a brand new START and are thriving in it BECAUSE you are so active.Kay Owen for example at 81, said the other day she had almost lost her “militant” ways, and was glad she re-discovered them by always trying to do what she though was right for the community by showing what she could still do in exercise and positivity terms and how things should change!!
Anytime, making that EVERY time, someone tells me not to go for it, or try a new project with a high possibility of failing (in their eyes not mine), I re-gather the information and go EVEN HARDER at it, and I encourage you to do the same.
Anytime anyone tells you to “calm down” and accept a life of mediocrity and “fitting in” for the sake of not making a fuss, even if your intentions are honourable and helping others, I urge you to keep going and never stop.
THEY are the ones you must realise who have FORGOTTEN how to live and go for it themselves, they have become a “prisoner” to their lack of ambition, “fitting in with the crowd” just to please others, and ultimately losing their independence and sense of worth and belief in themselves.
Get the fire back in your belly, get out for a walk, get an exercise plan going that will constantly improve you, get some good food down you, so you can get ready and get the energy to cause a “ruckus” in life again.I urge you today to re-discover your passions, your enthusiasm and yes think like a kid again with big ambitions, and back to a time when you thought NOTHING was impossible, you will feel a lot more liberated and feel heck of a lot better for it and finally most importantly feel like YOURSELF again!!!
