I am 51 years of age but only feel like I am in my 30s! But I am at an age when people start to think about the next half of their lives! What they will do when they “retire”!! My husband and I have heard this word a lot lately and we have barely given it any thought as we do not feel like we are anywhere close to it! I have just started a new career so how can I even contemplate slowing down! Can you actually start a new career at 51???
Yes you can! In fact I do not believe that you are too old to learn. We seem to have an impression that the older you get the harder it is to learn new things. It might take us abit longer to learn, but hell yeah you can learn new things!
I love to write and I has always been a dream of mine to write a children’s book on a subject I am very familiar with…triplets! I wanted to explain to children what it means to be a triplet as it is a difficult concept to grasp especially when they are fraternal. I was often met with curious faces when I explained that the three babies I was walking were indeed triplets and yes they were all in my stomach at the same time and no they are not identical. If adults were having a hard time with that, I knew kids would too.
The journey of writing my book was a wonderful experience. I have met and worked with some amazingly talented people and learnt a lot as well. I have felt no nerves just pure joy, excitement and pride. Yes, I am proud of what I have accomplished at 51! I could not have done this of course without my triplets as my inspiration but perhaps I still would have written on something else.
I feel that there are many more books to write inside me and the “retire” word and the “age” word do not scare me. It just means that I have confidence that I have gained as I have aged. So if you are contemplating starting something new, but feel that you are too old, think again! It is never too late to dive right in and explore your passions!
