faster because we have more responsibilities, families to take care of, jobs and careers and less free time overall. I’ve been thinking about this because I just celebrated my 50th birthday last month. Yup – you heard right – 50 years old. Over the last few months leading up to it, I’ve been saying to myself – “how in
H
the world have you been alive for 50 years?” It seems impossible. I remember my parents being 50 – where did the time go? But more importantly, I’ve been refl ecting on what I’ve accomplished over the last 50 years. And even more important than that – what lies ahead!
It used to be that 50 marked this huge milestone (and of course it is) – but the outlook from there was pretty bleak. Most people believed that life was more than half over and it was a downhill road of aging, health issues and ultimately death. Walk into any party store and all of the “50” decorations and party swag are black with references to being over the hill and OLD! I even saw stuff with the grim reaper on it! But as I sit here today, I believe that we’ve come a long way from those beliefs. Isn’t everyone saying that 50 is the new 30?? I can say for sure that at 50 my outlook is fantastic – I truly believe that life is only going to get better. I’m in the best physical shape of my life, my business is still growing, I know I have much bigger and better things to accomplish – and I’m way more confi dent and comfort- able in my skin which is an amazing place to be.
The funny thing is though, that I’m not sure I would have said I expected
to feel this way if you asked me when I was 30. If I had any idea that I would be looking and feeling the way that I do at 50 – I might have done a lot of things differently in my life.
The point here…age is just a number!
I know it’s a cliché – but now I understand what it means. We are living in an amazing time where we have the best information about how to take care of our body and soul at our fi ngertips every day. We have opportunities galore to start a new business, a new job, travel and learn. At 50 – we still have 20+ good years to do whatever our heart desires. I know people who are going back to school and starting a whole new career. I mean seriously you’re still young enough to become an entrepreneur and have the energy to put in the hours. You’re old enough to have wisdom but young enough that your parents may still be alive. If you’re tired, you can ask the young guy to give up his seat on the subway for you…or you can date him!
So JUST DO IT! Stop worrying about your age, your fi nances, what people
will think. Even if you do live to be 100 – I can guarantee you’ll look back and think…life is short. Have no regrets.
In Health and Happiness,
ave you noticed that time seems to be fl ying by? I can’t believe it’s March already! Some people say that as you get older time goes by
