Don’t Let Age Define You

Most people give up on their dreams before they even reach the age of 40. Now imagine those who are 50, 60, or more – they begin to think that they have nothing ahead of them, no potential to tap into and no breakthroughs to experience. This sets off years of living on autopilot, without anything to look forward to, stagnating and wasting away almost half of their lives.

If you are one of these people, ask yourself the following: Who told me I had nothing more to give to this world?

What you need is a shift in perspective. Take a moment and think about the larger picture. You may think that your actions are inconsequential, that your efforts don’t matter to the world, but you don’t realize that there is a ripple effect taking place after every single action that you choose to make. The work you put into this world will resonate larger than you may be aware of. So don’t ever underestimate your importance.

You have so much of the world left to explore. Many of life’s treasures remain hidden from us simply because we do not look for them. When we get caught up in fear and regret, we forget to realize the long road that still awaits us.

If life is a long adventure, why would you stop midway?

The truth is, if you are breathing, you are alive. If you are alive, you belong on this planet. And if you exist on Earth, you are here for a purpose. As long as you are breathing you have a purpose and you have something to contribute. Don’t say that you grew out of your usefulness because you never can do that as long as you are a living, breathing entity on Earth.

So, no matter how old you feel, you should still have hope. Remember that you are needed and so is your wisdom.

Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Don’t let your age define you. Because your larger purpose is not restricted by numbers. You are here to fulfill it until the end of your time.
