TOO OLD or TOO YOUNG

People often use the "I am too old" excuse to rationalise why they just won’t get real about their goals or dreams and it is such a poor excuse. It happens at the other end of the scale as well, with people saying “I am too young”, “it’s too soon”, “not now” and “I have plenty of time for that”. For these people it just never happens, because one day they wake up and it is now “too late”, “I’m too old” or “have no time”.

Are you guilty of this?

And if so, what is holding you back?

What excuses do you regularly hide behind? How do you justify not committing, not taking action, having no desire or putting in little effort?

Australia's ‘Biggest Loser’ was won recently by the oldest ever contestant on Australia’s version of the show Bob Herdsman. Bob lost a massive 87.6kgs or 52.21% of his weight to win the show.

When you think about it what is REALLY stopping you? Nothing!!! It is never too late, just ask Bob. It is never too early either to start to create your future; in fact it is better to make the changes early because it takes less time and effort to get to where you want to be. If you let bad habits form and grow it takes longer to change them and bring them under control, the journey back is far greater.

So throw the excuses out, let Bob’s shining example inspire you to make a REAL difference, the time to start is now, do something today that will make a difference tomorrow
