Age Does Not Matter

We usually make excuses to sabotage ourselves.  We think we are too young or too old to do anything.  When we are the kids, we can’t wait to grow up, so we would be allowed to do something we wish.  We can’t wait for that freedom.

Yet, when we grow up we completely forget what we were after.  We get overwhelmed by everyday responsibilities, and at times we even forget who we really are.  We do everything to pay the bills, take care of partner, kids, parents.  We bury our dreams deep and we do not even have time to look at them.

Time flies so fast.  We get in older years, and now we regret of not taking chances.  We make now excuse that we are too old.  We wasted our time.  What we do not realize is that age does not really matter.  We can achieve anything we wish regardless.  All we have to do is to act on our dreams.  Dreaming alone does not do anything.  We got to back it up with actions.

Here are some inspiring videos from Britain’s Got Talent that shows that anything is possible, no matter how young or old you are:

Circumstances

Circumstances…  What are they, anyway?  Do they define who we are?  Do they define our destiny?  Do they control where and what we want to be?  Or, they are just excuses in our mind not to do things we want to do?

There might be infinite circumstances (illness, financial problems, dysfunctional family, bad relationships, unfair work environment, difficult childhood, etc., etc.) that seemingly we cannot control.  We go about life blaming our circumstances that we cannot achieve things we want to achieve.

We do not realize that all this is just voluntary blocks we put on our dreams.  They are just excuses.  It is so easy to blame our life’s circumstances.  It seems so reasonable.

We all have our minds, right?  So, why we let circumstances to control us instead we control our circumstances?

A few examples of people who despite very difficult times, achieved unbelievable are:  Christopher Reeve, Oprah Winfrey, Coco Chanel, Ed Roberts, Chris Gardner.
