There are many things we want to do in life. But due to some unforeseeable circumstances we aren't able to do them. It might be due to family pressure, financial problem, family responsibility or any other reason due to which we aren't able to do what we desire as a result we give up on our dreams. We don't follow what we want. The feeling of unable to follow our heart at right time continues to haunt us, disturb us for rest of our life, and "should have", "could have", "if's and but's" start ruling our thought process.
Also there are many other things we find interesting as we grow old. We yearn to do them but the thought "I am too old", " I won't be able to do it", "It's too late", "I don't have much time" etc hampers our thought process and distracts us from following it, as a result of which we forego on our dreams.
Like it's said "There's no specific age of learning." You learn things throughout your life. In same way 'It's never too late to learn anything new" or " begin anything new". You just have to take the first step and the rest will unfold. There are many people out there who proved that age is just a number.. You are never too old to do what you desire, to do what you want. All you have to do is take the first step towards your dreams, your goals and rest will follow. Some examples are:
Atul Khatri , a 40+ guy , a successful businessman, in 2011 decided to pursue an alternative career. He initially looked on at many other intriguing opportunities before finally settling on to be a stand up comedian. He started his career as a comedian by posting jokes on Facebook and later became a stand-up comedian. He became notable after winning the "CEO's Got Talent" award by Fremantle Media. He has done over 400 comedy shows and YouTube videos. He also featured in television advertisements of Amazon, Muthoot Finance, Rebtel, Aegon Religare Insurance, Philips, and Matrix SIM card.
This is surely a remarkable achievement. Atul Khatri successfully proved that it's never too late to start something new. You just have to take first step towards your goal as age is just a number.
2) Manish Tyagi ( Comedian) :
Manish Tyagi, another guy who proved that it's never too late to start something new. Manish Tyagi, a retired commander of the Indian Navy, is now a stand-up comedian. Chances of coming across a Naval Commander who is a stand-up comedian in his post-retirement career is of course rare and starting at the age of 48 is nothing short of an achievement in itself.
3) Heena Sidhu and Elena Galiabovitch ( Shooter) :
2018 Commonwealth Game's women’s 25 meter air pistol event final was a memorable one as it was Dentist Heena Sidhu from India vs Doctor Elena Galiabovitch from Australia. We all know that Doctorate's study is the toughest one and despite that both the players were able to achieve so much in area of sports. Heena Sidhu has won 15 medals while Elena Galiabovitch has won 8 medals in last 9 years which in itself a remarkable achievement. These talented girls never ever let that thought cross their mind that they don't have time for other things as they were involved in tough studies. They followed what they desired and now they are stars in their field and icons for many. And they are just 28 years old, which proves that you have enough time in your hands. You just have to utilise those empty spaces effectively.
So, don't let the thoughts of your age and lack of time distract you from your goals. Just follow what your heart desires and rest will follow. "If not then , then now." follow this motto for the activities and things you missed in your early days and "If not now, then never" for things you find intriguing now. Just go buy it and you will have all what your heart desires
