(00:50):
So recently my Aunt Janice foundlove at the golden age of 76.
I think her boyfriend is even older than she is and they are
so cute. And her new romance is like the
sweet little reminder that second chances are possible at
any age. It is not too late for you just
(01:12):
cause the year is almost over. It's only too late really when
your life is over and it's not over yet.
So you're alive and that is reason enough to do things and
shoot your shot. In the case of my aunt Janice,
she's 76 and she just found love.
I don't even think this new loveof hers is a second chance.
(01:35):
I really think it's her first shot at true love.
And you're never too old to takeyour first shot.
Before the new year. I'm going to have a cord cutting
episode. It's going to be a cord cutting
meditation. And so cord cutting is really
getting rid of a connection to someone or something that
(01:56):
doesn't serve you anymore. So just eliminating the
connection to somebody and cutting the energetic cord,
cutting the cord. And so I actually think this was
really a big part of my Aunt Janice and why she found love.
At 76, she finally got a divorce.
I had never known her to be happy in love.
(02:19):
In her 20s, thirties, 40s and 50s she never had a happy
marriage. And then in her 50s and 60s, she
and her husband actually lived separately, but they never
officially got a divorce. And I really only feel like she
found love after she got the divorce in her late 60s, early
(02:41):
70s. Whenever it was when she finally
cut that cord, it freed her up. And then in comes Mr. Wright and
he's like such a beautiful partner for her.
So no matter what, your goal is a relationship goal, a health
goal, a career goal, it is not too late to get in the game.
(03:02):
It's not too late to go to the gym.
If you have a health goal of getting fit, you're not too old
and it is not too late. So shoot your shot, get on the
court, get in the game. OK, I look around at authors and
public figures like Anna Mary Robertson Moses AKA Grandma
(03:23):
Moses. She started painting when she
was 78 and before she was 78 shewas just too busy with her kids
and work. But even though she started
painting at 78, she lived until she was 101.
So she had a very long career asa painter and one of her
paintings sold for over $1,000,000.
(03:44):
And then of course, there's thatshow.
You might remember it, Little House on the Prairie.
And Laura Ingalls Wilder, she wrote that book, Little House on
the Prairie when she was 65. Charles Darwin wrote his book
about evolution when he was 50. And so depending on how old you
(04:05):
are, 50 might not seem that old.I know it doesn't seem that old
to me. I'm 44.
And so if I had a huge success at 50, I would be super excited
about it. So now that the new year is
here, just remind yourself and remind other people too.
Second chances are normal. Second chances are totally
(04:27):
possible. So let's normalize second
chances and all that good stuff.I remember, like back in 2018
when I divorced my husband, I had no idea what I was going to
do for work. And my divorce attorney said,
well, you could go to law school.
And I thought, doesn't she see what I'm dealing with?
(04:49):
Is she crazy? I have a toddler, I have a baby.
Doesn't she know? She looks at all my financial
statements? She can see my debts and my
assets. How could she possibly think I
could go to law school at like alow point in my life, right?
(05:09):
But she was right. I could have handled law school.
That wasn't my passion. So I actually went back to
school for education and to become a school principal.
But the point is we can handle alot.
And so if you want to point out to somebody else, hey, why don't
you give yourself a second chance?
Why don't you give school a second chance, whatever it is,
(05:30):
giving love a second chance. Remind the people in your life
that they can give themselves another shot and a second
chance. Even after a set back, we can
bounce back and even bounce forward toward new ideas and
goals. We hear success stories all the
time about people who they're indeep and they get in deep with
(05:54):
drug addiction or bankruptcy, but they can turn things around
and they get a second chance. We might think I'm to this or
I'm to that for a second chance,I'm too ADHD or I'm too heavy or
whatever it is. You're always a candidate for
positive life change. You're always a candidate for
(06:15):
finding love right as you are. You're perfect as you are, and
so life is a process of positivechange.
We can have positive change at any age.
And with this new year coming, feel free to share this episode
with anyone who needs to hear it.
Anyone who needs to give themselves a second chance and
(06:37):
give their dreams another shot. Everybody can take 1 little step
toward their goals and give thema shot starting right now.
