If you are a successful person, you are almost certainly aware of the fact that there is no age limit in the world in whatever pursuit, and this idea will not change even in your old age.
So how many of us have been saying at one time or another that I can’t do something, I am not good enough to do it.
I am not smart enough to do it, I am not young enough to do it, I can’t do it because am too old, or too poor, or too small, and so on?
Well, what if the first question is not the age, and the answer is “no”.
It may not even be that you don’t have enough skills, talent, time, energy, or money, but the first question is always “Am I willing?”
Willingness is the first and most important trait to start doing something.
"Where there is a will there is a way" - Pellumi.
In my opinion, you are not too old to accomplish something in life, and that belief is confirmed by the fact that in your old age you will be healthier and wiser.
So you will be the most motivated to do something.
The main reason why people say “You Am too old” is a lack of willingness.
We all have an idea of what we want to do in our lives and this post, we will try to clarify for you what are the tips you can use to stay motivated.
How to have the best life possible, and also to stay healthy and happy. So let’s jump into it!
1. The will, The Ability To Do Something.
First of all, as we said, we have an idea of what we want to do, but that idea can be easily changed.
It’s only the willingness that will make you able to do something.
We live in a very comfortable, luxurious, and easy world, so sometimes we forget about the fact that it takes a lot of willpower to change the life we have, to give it up, or start doing something that makes us truly happy.
We don’t have to do all of these things in one year.
But if you don’t do anything, you will get nothing.
2. Don’t Do What You Are Not Ready For.
No one said that we will become millionaires, world-class athletes, or artists, or that our life will be different.
But we will change it somehow, and you will have to go through your entire life to achieve the goals that you have in mind.
If you want to be happy, you have to find your passion in life.
And if you are unable to discover your passion, you will be very unhappy.
Don’t go after money, power, or luxury, just don’t do it.
Only do what you are willing to do.
3. Do Only What You Love To Do.
I have one good friend of mine that is also an author and he told me that only 2% of people on earth are truly passionate about what they do.
It is extremely hard for me to believe it because my friend is an optimistic person, and he loves what he does.
So, we can say that 2% of people are probably really lucky.
But still, if you don’t love what you are doing, don’t do it.
At the same time, if you don’t want to do what you are doing, then do something else.
We don’t have to become rock stars. No one says you have to be a millionaire.
But you can choose which road you will go and the same applies to everything else.
4. Be Grateful.
The secret to having more motivation is that we should always stay grateful. Why?
Because if we stay grateful, and if we are grateful, we will be happier. It is one way to find happiness in life that gets you to be positive.
We should always try to think about the good things that we have in our life.
I think we are all a little bit selfish, so it’s really hard to be grateful sometimes.
This is because we are often thinking about what we don’t have.
We should consider that habit at least once a day.
5. Do One Thing Per Day.
First of all, if we go back to the question “Am I ready for something?”, you can say “yes”, because you are ready for something.
But we all are lazy sometimes, so we start with one thing, and then we do nothing, and then say “Oh, I am not ready”, and some say “I am too old” or “I am not smart enough” or “I don’t have enough money” or “I don’t have the energy” to do this.
A lot of excuses and it never ends because “I’m not ready” just stays here, there is no conclusion.
When you don’t do anything, you get nothing back.
And if you don’t have anything, then you are, really, old.
When you do nothing you simply get old! Yes, that's it.
So, you should always do at least one thing per day, and see where it leads you.
6. Go With Your Passion.
It’s really hard to find a good job in your old age.
So why not find the one that you will love most?
Is there any person that has been unhappy all his or her life? Probably, yes.
If you want to make the world a better place, make people happy, and possibly want to live in a world where you are at peace with yourself, then you should go with your passion.
And when you find it, you will be grateful.
7. Know And Do Only what You want.
There is a saying in philosophy, "you should be able to know what you want and also be able to do what you want."
So you should always know what you want to do with your life, and do it when you want to, no one needs to influence your decision on how you chose to live your life.
You are not an extraordinary smart fellow to know exactly all what you want to do because you don’t know everything, that is quite reasonable.
But you are smart enough to know what you don’t want to do.
So let’s say you don’t want to be a singer. but rather you prefer to be a writer, no one would compel you into becoming a singer, only if it is your choice.
8. Be In Control.
Most of us have this idea that we are only responsible for our emotions and our feelings.
And that we can do something about that and it will work out.
Many people would not believe it because that would mean you are in control, and yet you are not.
We can only choose what to do about that, and if we make bad choices, that’s on us.
Take control of your life and know what you want out of it.
9. Do Things That Give You Joy.
If you are not happy, then what do you do? Do you look for money, luxury, power, or sex,?
You do things that you don’t like, so there is no way you can be truly happy.
We usually look for more money, more luxury, more power, and more sex because we think that's where our joy depends. But this is not true.
And that is the reason many people are living in a cycle.
Why not live in a different cycle?
10. Find The Right People To Do Things With.
This may sound funny, but if you can find the right people to do things with, you will become happy.
It is so normal to have a lot of difficulties in life, but the most important thing is that you will have some special people in your life that will help you along the way.
If you are in bad shape financially, you can ask the people you know for help.
But also don’t just talk to people that don’t have anything they can add to you, make helpful friends.
You should be able to find the people that want to be with you, that want to help you, and support you.
You don’t have to marry them, but at least they should be by your side.
11. Have Time To Yourself.
Making out time for yourself is extremely important, especially in your old age.
If you don’t have time to do what you want, then it means that you don’t care about what you want.
And if you don’t care about what you truly want in life, it means you are wasting your time and life.
You have to live life to the fullest so that you don't have to look back in your life and regret or think “I wasted some of my life”.
12. Take Care Of Yourself.
I can’t stress it enough. You are more important than every other thing.
If you are in good health, it is going to be a lot easier for you to do everything you want to do.
But if you are not healthy, it will be very difficult to achieve anything, only a healthy fellow can become wealthy.
So, you have to do what will put your body in a good shape and position that allows you to achieve your dreams and goals, like eat well, do some exercise, go for a walk, and take some medicine.
You have to live. Don’t just think about tomorrow, think about the moment.
13. Stay Focused.
When you have an idea, that makes you very excited, you have to always focus on that.
You need to put everything else aside because if you are thinking about something else, your mind will lose balance.
You should learn to look where you are going.
Because you can’t think about two different things at the same time.
This is the reason you should focus on what you want to do and look away from distractions.
If you are focused on something, it makes it easier to accomplish, but if you are not focused on it, then it will be a lot harder to do.
14. Give And Receive Love.
One of the reasons why a lot of people get so stressed and angry in life is that they always give and never receive.
We all want the best for ourselves, but we are not willing to give something in return.
And the best part of life is when you are receiving something, and it is for you.
But when you want to give, and you are not sure, if you should do that, because you are uncertain to get anything in return.
So, when you are receiving love, that should be the best part of life, and also when you are giving back love makes life even sweeter. Life is about giving and taking. It is about sharing love.
15. Never Regret Anything.
You should not live in regret, anything that you had done in your past life.
You should always ensure to see the positive aspects of life.
If you don’t regret anything you do, there is the tendency you are going to do it again, and this time you will be more ready to do it.
So when you make a mistake in life, you should always try to see what can be done next time to do it a little bit better
But don't beat yourself up or live in worry about what had already been done.
16. Do What You Believe.
If you don’t want to do something, but you believe in it, I have the opinion, that whatever you believe in should be done or given a try.
Since you have thought about it and believe that it is possible, why not give it try? Maybe an idea, a relationship, or a change of location.
You should always try to do what you believe in.
And you should learn to have faith and confidence in your ideas.
You have to go with your gut instinct because you never know what is going to happen.
This is because you don't know if you are going to get a good result or a bad one.
All you can do is have faith.
