I will keep preaching that this is a self-limiting mindset.
It is unfair to you.
It is unfair to the privileges you have - the privileges you don't acknowledge, one of them being good health.
Regardless of how accomplished anyone is, there are people (same age as them or younger) that have accomplished 3ce as more.
Regardless of how unfortunate anyone thinks they are, there are people (same age as them or older) that have it worse off.
💡Colonel Sanders started KFC at 65.
💡Vera Wang didn’t design her first dress until 40.
💡Samuel L. Jackson got his big break at 43.
💡Toni Morrison published her first novel at 39.
You're not behind - you’re just at your own phase, exactly where you need to be.
If you need that to change, you have to stand the fuck up, loathe handouts AND do something about it.
Your tears are useless if they don't motivate you to try harder - and you can't do that focusing on the race paths of others.
Perspective is everything and that, my friend, is what you lack. I do not say this kindly.
You think your cup is halfempty because you're 40.
All of the people above that I quoted, thought their cups were half-filled because they were 40.
Perspective is everything.
Have you watched competitive cyclists cycle?
They are more focused on their own race, than the positioning of others.
I also want to assume that you know how to drive - can you imagine what happens if you focus more on the rear view than what's in front of you?
Everyone’s timeline is different, and yours still has plenty of room for greatness.
You’ve got more in you than you think - that's just me hoping.
Importantly,
* If you think your life is over because you're 40, you're right.
* If you think your life is just starting because you're 40, you're also right.
Furthermore,
* if you think you can, you're right.
* if you think you can't, you're also right.
Happy whining, Chief. 🙏
