We live in a world that can bend to the celebration of youth. When can even go back to ancient times of the famous wise tale of the fountain youth that if you drink from it, you can stay young forever.
We celebrate the record breaking achievement of the youngest person to accomplish one thing or another.
And so, it creates a silent expectation that if you haven’t done a thing or if your goals have yet actualized at a certain time and/or age in your life, that it’s too late and you might as well give up and choose something that is more “reasonable.”
However, I am here to tell you that is nothing but a number and in fact, some of the world’s most influential and inspiring people are people who received their break or catapulted to success at or well after 30.
