I’ve been hearing a terrible excuse on Instagram from people in their 40’s — and even a few in their 30’s — and it drives me crazy.
That excuse is:
“Maybe I’m too old for this.”
BS.
Let me tell you a story from one of the books I’m reading...
At age 45 David E. was “struckling” in what seemed to be a dead-end career.
Stuck and struggling, even his wife thought he was past his prime and had no chance of promotion.
David had missed out on his one chance to “play in the big leagues” when he was 22, just after the first love of his life ran away to New York and broke his heart.
When David did get married, tragedy struck. His first son died at 3 years old. David was crushed.
He then spent the next 20 years toiling in virtual obscurity. In the late 1930’s he was a mid-level cog in the 17th ranked “company” in the world.
In his early 40’s David had the option to quit on his dream and take a lucrative gig from a wealthy friend.
But David had too much integrity to give up and leave for a soul-sucking job as someone else’s sycophant “yes man”.
Instead, he persisted, because in his heart he knew there was something bigger and better ahead…
Despite ending every month “Just Over Broke” in his J-O-B.
David never once used the excuse, "I'm too old."
His friend George, aged 55, was the same way.
It was a wise decision.
Because destiny soon brought opportunity to David and George, rewarding their patience, and giving them the chance to step into their greatness.
Today, the world knows David better by his other name, Dwight, as in Dwight D. Eisenhower…
And his colleague George as George S. Patton.
Eisenhower planned D-Day and led the allied army to march across Europe and defeat Hitler.
He persisted long past what many considered “the prime of life.”
So let this be a little reminder to you that it is NEVER too late.
And in fact, there has been no better time in your life than now.
