Think again.

Think you can’t do something that you would really like to do?

Perhaps due to your age, or for some other reason?

Life is short. Today (which is the only day that we know for sure that we have) is a good day to change from thinking that you can’t do something, to heck yes, you can!

I know. It sounds so simple, but sometimes you need to hear the same message over and over again before it begins to really sink in. I know I do.

Think you can’t do something?

Yes, you can!

You can do anything you want to do. Don’t limit yourself.

For me, I will add, within reason of course, due to my age. After all, I can’t run a long grueling marathon (actually I never did), or do two thousand sit-ups. I mean who would want to do that anyway?

There are just some physical things that I can’t, and might I add, don’t want to do. Period.

But that’s where it ends.

When it comes to starting a business that you’ve always wanted to start, or learning a new skill or language, writing a book, tandem skydiving, or adventuring around in some other country, you can do it at any age.
