Is it Too Late to Pursue Your Dreams?
by Sally ~ August 27th, 2009. Filed under: Happiness, Living Your Dream.Is it too late to pursue your dreams? I recently read about a man who as a little boy always dreamed of being a doctor. Instead he worked with his father in the family business running a clothing company for 27 years.
A year after the business sold, Robert Lopatin, at 51 years old, decided to pursue his dream and enrolled in medical school. He began his residency at 55. He said it felt so right.
His advice: “Don’t be afraid of change, and never pass up an opportunity to try something new.”
Julia Child, co-author of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, was 37 years old when she went to Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris. She said she had been looking for a career all her life. She didn’t let the facts that she was the only woman in the class and she wasn’t’ fluent in french stop her from pursuing her passion of learning to cook french food.
Last week, in Barbara Winter’s ezine, she shared Sam Greenspan’s 11 Points blog about 11 famous people who were in the completely wrong career at age 30.
By the way, thirty is still sounds young to me! It’s never too late to reinvent yourself and follow your dreams.
If you thought the opportunity has passed you by, maybe it’s worth a second look.
What do you hope to do next?
