I think you are right. I had some upheavel in my life and needed to do some self-evaluation. After a tragic loss and some bad relationships, I sort of checked out for 20 years... but during those years, I found that I needed to change my way of thinking, my attitudes and now I'm actually seeing the benefits. I may be 20 years behind, but no my age is chronological and my personality thinks much younger. I can do anything I set my mind to, and now I'm working on moving to a new location where I've made some wonderful friends and nothing is going to get in my way. I will find a way to do it.

Sometimes it is too late. One is highly unlikely to be a bathing suit model in her 60's or a pro wrestler. Sometimes it isn't too late, like making psychological changes or going back to school. The thing is, you will never know unless you try. So it's always worth a full-hearted try.

The crux of the matter, Arlene, is in exactly what your second sentence says: change of mindset - and that is what is hard for many people to grasp. That is what my teleclasses and coaching is about...self-discovery and transcending current limitations (mental or otherwise). Congratulations on achieving your authentic self! It is not just good for you but for all you associate with. That is why 'coaching support' on an informal or formal level is so important...for each of us to stay on track. Keep it up.

You got it! You know why even the 'bathing suit model' is never too late, because sometimes what we wanted to be was not the best thing that we could be, and that is what we are aiming for, isn't it? When we achieve at a higher level then we realize that the 'bsm' was really nothing to dream of at all. Thanks for responding and I hope i will hear you in one of my tele-class sessions. Let's keep talking.
