SUCCESS AT ANY AGE

How to Keep Your Life Force Strong

and Your Purpose High in Later Years

Success is a state of mind, not a destination point. It is an on-going agreement with oneself to live from the highest thoughts and biggest dreams within one’s mind and heart. Success doesn’t have to stop when a career comes to an end or when an income source is terminated. And because it is an inner job first, success can be reached at any time in life, even to the end of our days.

Too many people find themselves on the high side of 50 without a clear vision of how they will continue to give their gifts and talents, earn necessary income, or feel connected in life if their job should end or they are forced into “retirement”. They have perhaps put all their sense of worth into a career and then feel lost when it comes to an end.

Success comes from knowing who we are as unique individuals and why we matter. It is not so much what we do for income, what we achieve, or what we are able to accumulate. It is more about how we show up each day in the world and what we are willing to give to make this a better place for ourselves and others.

Success at any age comes from a clear sense of:

Purpose or mission

Inner joy and peace

Connection to others

Belonging in community

Making a contribution

Successful people are full of love; they love who they are and what they do — every day. There is no time limit or expiration date on love, and no age restriction on giving and receiving it. People who continually look for new ways to express their care and share their wisdom are just naturally alive; they have a reason to keep going because they are involved in bringing more light and hope to others.

Success is a full-engagement experience. It is not created by merely observing life from the sidelines but by staying as aware of and devoted to one’s own journey as possible. It is not for whiners or complainers. To be successful means staying committed to and taking full responsibility for one’s own happiness, growth, and wellbeing. Success can be yours as you decide to claim it, no matter how old you are.

“Fulfillment comes from touching people with your light, not from retirement.”
