Ahead

Here I was wondering what today’s post would be about.  I had forgotten that today is the day I get an email from James Clear.  I looked at it to see if there were any topics close to my heart that had been written about.
The format is three ideas from him, two ideas from another and one question.  It was one of the things that he said that resounded within me.  It is something I have written about before but something I am passionate about really.
“When you're younger, it's easy to underestimate how fleeting the days can be. Each choice matters. Each day matters.  When you're older, it's easy to underestimate how much opportunity you still have. Don't talk yourself out of it. It's never too late to start.”
One of the things I want to see avoided where possible is the thought of older people that it is too late.  That changing things was possible and possibly something done but when older opportunity is lost.
I will never deny that something ay be harder.  It is just a fact that age slows a person down and ill health is a constant possibility.
Yet to me those things do not represent stop signs or “no entry beyond this point” signs.  It is true that things may need to be done more carefully but things can still be done.  To me it is possible that my greatest contribution lies ahead of me.
In some ways I feel old age is a benefit in that when younger the temptation is to attempt all myself.  The older I am the more I realize I need others.  Together we can make a difference.  A team generally can have a greater impact than an individual.
To me dismissing the lie of show stopping lack is the first and most important hurdle to overcome.  Possibilities remain.  There are more jobs available than people willing to fill them.
