Too old to make changes ??

I got inspired for this topic by a post on XING, which is btw a great Networking place ….

When are you too old to make changes in your private or business life ? Is there any limit at all ?

I say : NO , the only thing which might hold you back in your old tracks is most probably fear.

If you wake up and you have stomach cramps just thinking about going to work because you don’t like the job, the co-workers etc . I say its time to make a change

If you are not happy in your relationship, don’t stay just for fear that no one else might come along – try to learn to love your own company. There is nothing more appealing in anyone no matter whether you are a woman or a man than being happy and confident in your own skin.

There is no age limit nor a limit of trying when you go for a change. The most interesting people are those who tried to go for their dreams , those who overcame their fears . They felt down in between and got up again – Those people know now there is nothing to be scared off. They trust their abilities and don’t care about what others might have to say. Those are the people who will succeed in their quest eventually!

So you might not succeed in your next job or relationship …so what ? There are so many other options out there .

Think about what you really want – no matter in which area. Make a list with all you want either in your job or in your personal life and make a list with all you don’t want .

You will be amazed by how much things are coming on your mind, which you actually do NOT want but still accept .

Just remember ...Life is too short to ignore it! ”No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change”. … Barbara De Angelis

Talking about dreams come true ....

I am so amazed by this story of the cell phone salesman in Britain that I simply have to share it with you.

It blew me away and left me with Goosebumps...and it is a nice reminder to never give up on your dreams and hopes- they might just come true!

Most of the important

things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

This is one of my favorite inspirations :)

Are you ready to take a risk ?

This morning I had a conversation with a friend and during that conversation, the question was raised whether it is a good or bad thing to take a risk . Is it better to stay in the safe corner or to take the leap? I am one to say, if you don’t try you will never know what the outcome might have been and you might end up asking yourself “ What, IF …”

After that conversation I took a "trip" on memory lane , and realized that I took quite a few risks in my life; some with very small others with life altering affects.

If you ask me whether I have any regrets, my honest answer is NO!

One thing I have learned is that achieving our goals requires taking risks. However, to be effective, we need a positive attitude toward risk taking that allows us to learn and grow from them.

If I would have not taken the risks, I would not be where and what I am today…- Now that's a sad thought :)

Taking Risks

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool

To weep is to risk being called sentimental

To reach out to another is to risk involvement
To expose feelings is to risk showing your true self

To place your ideas and your dreams before the crowd is to risk being called naïve
To love is to risk not being loved in return

To live is to risk dying

To hope is to risk despair and,

To try is to risk failure

But risks must be taken

The greatest risk in life is to risk nothing

The person who risks nothing... does nothing, has nothing, and becomes nothing

He may avoid suffering and sorrow

But he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live

Chained by his servitude, he is a slave

He has forfeited his freedom
Only the person who risks is truly free.

William Arthur Ward
