It’s Never Too Late: 5 Tips to Keep Your Dreams Alive
If you think you’ll never get that job or have that child or be able to go for what you really want – know this:
It is NEVER TOO LATE.
I used to think it was too late for me – to get that master’s degree, to shift jobs and careers, to have a child. But I applied these methods to shift my mind and my perspective, and I have achieved all that I wanted. There’s more on my list, and I’m not giving up on making those dreams come true.
Use these ideas to shift your thinking:
- If you think you’re too old, remember that if you start now, by next year you’ll be that much closer to your goal
- Look for inspiration – so many now successful people struggled to share their gifts with the world
- Be persistent and be willing to make mistakes – failure is a necessary part of the process
- Your gifts, talents, dreams, and desires are not just good for you, they are good for your family and the world – we all have something to contribute and your talents are as important and valuable as any other person’s
- Imagine the results – what does it look like when you’ve achieved your goal and reached your dream? Keep that image playing in your head to help inspire and motivate you to keep going
It took me 10 years and many attempts to finally have a baby in my 50s. I just kept at it, until I found a pathway that worked. I went through breast cancer, and although my treatment was “curative,” I continue to do everything in my power to improve my health and prevent recurrence. I have dreams of making an impact by helping others gain more emotional intelligence, self-confidence, and satisfaction in life, and I will do all I can to make what I’ve learned available to others.
You have dreams, too, and it’s never too late to pursue them. Remind yourself of the big picture, and then take a step every day toward your goals.
