What's Age Got to Do With It?

Still waiting for success? That may be what you think but it is probably less true than you believe.

You may be less objective about your "success" than others because you have or have had a vision far greater than your current reality.

The first step is to look back at your accomplishments as others might see them. What have you been doing with your life? Twiddling your thumbs? Highly unlikely.

Try to examine everything you have already accomplished as "getting ready" rather than a detour. Identify the understandings and insights you have which others, who may have gone directly to your End Game, do not have.

Stop worrying about running out of time. You have not been standing still, no matter what you think, so you are not running out of time. You are moving toward your goal. You may have believed yourself ready for ages, or you may have held that goal for a completely different reason than you imagined when you set it. The issue is not how long you have what you want, but how good you are at it when you get there. Perhaps you are only meant to have a few years of the success you have focused on. Imagine if you had gotten it exactly when you thought you were supposed to. What would you have missed and what would you do now?

Review what you have learned in the waiting, and try to determine why you are more qualified than you would have been. Ask yourself what you still have to learn before you can have what you want. Remember that your sense of WHEN you were supposed to accomplish something may have been wrong.

Perhaps you are a Late Bloomer for a reason.
