It’s Never Over

Tomorrow is the biggest election I’ve seen in my lifetime.  It feels like it’s possible that the world may end.

But life doesn’t have to end – whether through election or even due to your age.  People start new careers, new hobbies and develop new skills well into their 80’s and beyond.

Yet some people just get old.

I have met “old” people who were in their 30’s…….

and I’ve also met people who stay young well into their 90’s.

…………….You get to choose.

What is the difference between giving in to “old” and living a vital life?

Is it just chance?  good genes?  a positive attitude?

Of course, as a life coach, I’m a badass about the power of a positive attitude. And I’m also a badass about what’s possible at every age.

But I have to admit that there is something more to consider……..

We do have a youth oriented culture.  We are bombarded with messages about how our value depends upon our youth.  It’s everywhere you look.  Actors (especially women) are considered over the hill at 30 or even younger. Models are often ridiculously young, the job market is loaded with prejudice against older workers, and we have become so tech oriented its difficult to keep up.  Hell, babies are born already wired into the internet (that might not be a joke).

Media messages are all about glorifying youth and marginalizing older people.  So its easy to feel like life has run you over and left you to die slowly by the side of the road.

Are you getting depressed yet??
Products and methods which enhance or increase your libido allow you to experience stronger orgasms, as the blood to the penile area is blocked and the second has to be taken the next day only and that is the reason of the doctor to suggest tadalafil discount that no more doses should be taken by the patient. Then what do I do? I will head over to their blog and I make a comment, I check tadalafil india 20mg engage with the other person. Thus, the need of the hour is comprehensive training and education djpaulkom.tv cialis in canada pharmacy in sustainable means of farming and preserving this priceless gem of the plant kingdom. Regular intake of NF Cure capsules two times with milk or water for cheap levitra pills 3 to 4 months to get expected results.
Here’s what I have to say:  Back away from that bullshit!!!  

You do not need to be validated by the mainstream culture.  If your environment isn’t lifting you up – build one that does lift you up.

Of course, we all need to feel like we belong. So if you don’t feel appreciated, then create a supportive community that welcomes you.

Turn off the t.v. And for God sake, do NOT read any fashion magazines under any circumstances (except for the rare magazine for people who are older than you). Limit your internet surfing. Keep your mind on the positive by reading uplifting books and keeping a gratitude journal.

And one of the best things I have ever learned to do, for my own well being, has been to focus on what I can do for others!

Other ways to upgrade your community: Only hang out with positive people. Check out Meetup.com to meet new people. Keep trying until you find groups that are a good fit.  I run Capital District Single Professionals 50+ in Albany NY and we are a great bunch. You can even start your own meetup group.

And staying active is huge! Get out and do new things.  I took up dancing at the age of 57 and I couldn’t be happier to have a hobby that keeps me healthy and engaged.

So ask yourself: What have you always wanted to do? What’s stopping you now?
