When someone told me how she watched a story on the eNCA News channel about a man who got admitted as an attorney at 75, I knew I had to go see that for myself. Emmanuel Gaza, a South African man, got admitted as an attorney at age 75, fulfilling a life-long dream.
To think I felt left behind when I got admitted at 33. What have you been telling yourself you’re too old to do? What dream have you laid to rest because you thought it was too late? I hope Emmanuel Gaza has shown you that it’s never too late.
Colonel Sanders, the founder of KFC, did not get his first franchise until he was over the age of 60. Now look at what KFC has become. I don’t know about you but I’m choosing to believe my best days are ahead of me. Like Brian Houston always says “the best is yet to come.”
It doesn’t matter what people have told you or what people will say. It doesn’t matter what you’ve told yourself or what lies you’ve believed. You need to allow the child in you to live out his dreams, to experience what she hoped for growing up. You owe your younger self that. Maybe you’re wondering what if you fail, well what if you succeed?
