Too late and too old for dreams? Says You!

I have some absolutely talented friends that are decades younger, and fearful of being “too old” for a goal.

I also have amazing friends, decades older, who feel the same.

Here’s the absolute lowdown on what is impossible for you to accomplish.

Complete the following sentence:

“It’s way too late for me to ____________________.”

Got it down? Ok, good. Then there you go. You just set the program.

All you have to do now is sit back and watch it happen.

Or rather, not happen.

You see, there is little that you cannot achieve.

In fact – You’re too not-dead to lay down and start throwing dirt on yourself.

“But Yazminh, I’ve always wanted to be an Olympic gymnast. It’s been my dream since I was a kid. Can I pick that dream back up now, as an out-of-shape, overweight 45-year-old?”

Well let me ask you this…

Is this dream truly what you want today?

Are you holding onto dreams that belong to someone else?

Oh, no she didn’t! Yes, I did call you out – so I could let you off the hook!

• You wouldn’t keep wearing jeans from when you were 10, or insist on heels to run a marathon, would you?
• So, why on earth would you force yourself to take on the dreams that no longer fit who and where you are in life?

Chances are, you aren’t the same person you were decades ago, right?

So, you can’t expect to hang on to the same wish list!

After all, even as kids, our Santa wish lists changed from year to year!

Of course, if becoming an Olympic gymnast is truly your current dream, and you are aware of the price, only you can determine if it is out of your range to take the leap.

So please….

• GET UP…because you can!
• DUST YOURSELF OFF… because you can!
• DO WHAT YOU CAN….because you SHOULD.

Pocket Challenge: 

• Jot down all the dreams you’ve had that you still feel attached to.
• Now, pick ONE dream that you are willing to go for.

Remember:

• Be honest and present about what ideas excite you today!
• Be sure you’re not simply blurting history of what you used to want to accomplish.

Complete the following statement about your dream:

“I am ready to commit my time and efforts to make my current dream of  ____________________________________come true.”

Got it down? Ok, good. Then there you go.

You just set the new program.

All you have to do now is work your ass off and watch great things happen.
