Stop letting age stop your potential to succeed!

Why should a standard age define when one SHOULD BE SUCCESSFUL, GET MARRIED , HAVE KIDS AND DIE? Why should there be a fixed age determined by society to achieve important milestones ? It’s time to rise above stereotypes and achieve our milestones according to our unique personal timeline based on the wisdom accumulated from our personal experiences. We can achieve anything at any age! Top fashion designer Vera Wang didn’t begin her career as a designer until she was 40! Stan Lee created his first hit comic title, "The Fantastic Four," just shy of his 39th birthday. In the next few years, he created the legendary Marvel Universe, whose characters like Spider-Man and the X-Men became American cultural icons. At 59,"Satchel" Paige became the oldest Major League baseball player At 62,J.R.R. Tolkien published the ﬁrst volume of his fantasy series, "Lord of the Rings." At 77,John Glenn became the oldest person to go into space Charles Eugster is the greatest British sprinter. He currently holds world records in the 200m (indoor) and 400m (outdoor) sprints. It's an impressive record, given that the man—by pretty well established standards—shouldn't be able to cross a road without help, let alone run. He is 96 years old. “Charles Eugster views on retirement? Retirement is the biggest killer of old people, full stop. I prefer to call it involuntary unemployment. What I'm nearly bursting a blood vessel about is the fact that humans are blissfully ignoring the aging process. We recycle everything nowadays, except human beings. Our expiry date is 65, after which we're thrown on the rubbish heap and chemically treated. We are pouring the experience, creativity, and talent of people over 65 down the toilet. They should be able to found companies, be creative. They have nothing to do except sit about and get sick. This is a world problem and it needs to change.” So the question we need to be asking ourselves is: “WHY ARE WE BLINDLY LETTING OURSELVES BE CONVINCED that we need to be married/ successful or even stay healthy only by a certain age?” We may be giving up on our potential because we are too busy comparing our individual timelines to other people’s success stories . Don’t let anyone convince you that you are too old to achieve your dreams! It’s time to stop looking outside for validation and start looking within to find the divine guidance and self belief to achieve your dreams at any age! Connect with your eternal and wise higher self through meditation and let it guide you to reach your highest potential. Love light and blessings Anjali Theascensionhealer.com
