Age really is but a number. There's a whole bunch of life quotes that summarize what it's all about and the point really is the importance of what you do in life. Success is a personal 'thing': I set goals for myself and have characteristics in my personality that I want to keep or strive to become 'better at' (well lose some as well!). I want to be able to live my life and take pride in what I do. I wish the only thing stopping me is my imagination: to some extent this is very true.
As with 99% of people, we use money as a source of the excuse why we don't 'live', but this is only a part of the greater picture. People with money don't necessarily do anything with their lives: having the biggest tv does not mean you have something I'm envious of: as we've always said before, you need a reason to get out of bed in the morning and money isn't it. I recently heard again the old teacher thing when they ask to kids 'what job would you do if you had a million pounds?' The answer should be exactly what we want to be so we shouldn't be swayed by anything but an interest, pure motivation.
With every event or achievement I take off the list, I add a new one. The beauty with life, is that there's not limits, no-one really is your boss except yourself. Ok, we pay the bills etc, but the real freedom and decisions are made you and you alone. Our working life can be merely a slight inconvience (for those that dislike what they do) to our ultimate goal, or may be not. May be people use having a shitty job (in their eyes) as an excuse for the rest of their life: 'oh I can't do this and this because of work...blah blah'. I don't want to be like that.
So what if I'm 25 and still finding my way. I know what my interests are and that if I can't work in that job I really want to do, I'll make the most of whatever work I get. My point isn't about work, it's more the obstacles (as in work..may be!) that we overcome and the ones that arrise because of the challenges and goals we set. Life if for living, age is only a number, work like sleep dominates our lives so pick something you like doing. Be motivated, dare to dream, keep raising the bar until it's all over.
