3 Reasons To Forget Your Age And Live Your Life

                       

Note: The fact that you can be 40 and look like that (image above) makes it very clear that 40 is definitely the new 30, and 30 being 20.

Life goes by sooo fast it's crazy. The fact that you could be celebrating your 16th bday one day then the next you're pushing 30! It's all crazy and a lot to deal with at times, enough to make a person want to hide in a corner begging it to stop. But thing is it's not gonna stop. We are going to keep aging whether we like it or not. 

Sometimes as humans we get so consumed with our age particularly in the areas of getting married, building a career, having a successful business, buying a house and having kids. It's all pressure to get all of that done by a specific age, to the point where we stop enjoying life.

So here are 3 reasons not to get too caught up on your age and just live and enjoy life:

1. You're as young as you feel

Yep. We all age but it's down to the individual whether they will allow age to be a limitation or not. This isn't an excuse to say you should act like a kid or in order to forget your age. But simply it's your choice whether you're gonna allow yourself to be focussed on your age or just live your life. 

Some people associate age with not being able to do certain things because they have missed their moment. But if you want to go after or pursue something, then do it! You're never too old. If you want to go back to school. Do it!! Nobody is saying you can only be in your early 20s to study. You're never too old to go after a dream. 

2. Opportunities aren't limited to age

There ARE some industries such as the Modelling industry who place an age limit on an opportunity, but that isn't everyone's dream anyway. So you are fine!  

It's easy to believe you can only achieve certain goals or by a certain age, and if you have not accomplished it by then that you've missed it. It  inspires me whenever I hear Mark Zuckerberg became a millionaire at 22, and a billionaire at 23 because it highlights the fact that you're never too young to reach success, However it inspires me even more that Oprah made a million at 32, and a billion at 49. There's no age limit to success. Not that 49 is old . But a lot of people would have given up on a dream by then if it didn't work out after they'd passed a certain age. 

Opportunities doesn't care how old you are 

3. Nobody cares as much as you do 

Okay people might say stuff about your age, but at the same time it's up to you whether you'll let it affect you or not. Just get on with life and forget about your age. So what if you're 25 and haven't got to where you wish you had or you're 30 and not married yet. 

It's honestly great to have goals and work towards achieving them by a specific age as a guideline but if it doesn't work out exactly how you imagined don't beat yourself up about it. 

Life isn't a competition so what the girl next door has done at 21 or 25 or 30 has nothing to do with you. You just do you and work according to your own timescale. Imagine if we all had the same life timescale. Like would be pretty boring and conventional. I say we all live our life not focussing on our age. Obviously have goals and dreams but enjoy the journey on the way there and don't compare your timeline to someone else's. Life is too short to be in a competition with people. Work according to your own lifeline.
