Finding purpose at any age and reinventing ourselves is scary at any age. But, starting over later in life, after 40, 50, 60, 70 and beyond is entirely possible. Living life without regret! Many of us fail to start anything new because we feel it’s too late to start over. Do we feel it’s too late to start and that we are too old now to even bother! I believe it’s never too late to create your best life and start living it. I achieved success being an artist in my 50s after starting over in my 40s. Whether it’s starting a new hobby, learning how to draw, paint, revisiting an old passion or creating material success, it’s absolutely doable. It’s also very beneficial for our health; physical, mental,spiritual and psychological. Growing older is a gift and can open up time for us to do the things we have always wanted to do, so I say, go for it! Now’s the time! I’m also sharing my own personal story in this video from being a single mum, college and art school later in life and completely restarting my life after 40. Now in my 50s I have created the life I always dreamed of living! It’s by no means perfect and still bumpy at times, but it happened only after I took some risks and took a few leaps of faith! Living life now on my own terms makes me feel truly blessed and I want to inspire and cheer you on to do the same. (Even in the smallest of ways!)

When my mum retired she surprised us all by saying she wanted to return to being an artist. She had never been an artist our whole lives and we asked her "wait, when were you an artist?" And she said, "when I was a little girl". She is now an accomplished and prolific artist and just turned 80.

I realized just recently that I would rather have a guitar than a dog or cat. Surprising , but true for me. Bought a parlor sized acoustic guitar just this afternoon, and am still a bit astonished how smoothly my search went. Just thought I’d share my glee with like minded strangers on the internet. 😉

I was an artist when I was a little girl ❤but as I got older it faded away then I had 3 children so no time or energy for art of any kind, but now I have time, I sew, crochet, draw/doodle and lots of other crafts I absolutely love it, it is me, I lost my brother, dog & and my my dad within a year of each other and my crafting helped me so very much, by taking me to another place and letting go for a while xxxx❤❤❤❤

I’m 60 this year and I think hitting this age has effected me more than hitting any other age . Time does seem to be running out and all the opportunities I didn’t take up on due to fear are becoming haunting. I’m not sure where I really want to be or go in life now but I am sure fear isn’t going to rob me anymore . Thanks for the encouraging video ❤

Career ending injury in nursing in my 40s. Graduated from law school at 50. Never looked back from re-inventing myself.

Thank you for motivating me once again. My son died in late November, and I have been in a dark hole for a while. Today you spoke to me about allowing some art sunshine back in my life. Thank you.

My grandmother went back and finished her diploma in her 60’s and marched along side my older brother when he graduated with his regular class. When asked why she actually went back and did so after all those years, she said, “Because you’re never too old to do what you want to do! Don’t you ever let anyone tell you, you can’t do something!!” It was a huge accomplishment for her and she was so proud since she had to leave school in her younger years and spent her whole life raising babies and then just trying to keep afloat since then. Something tells me it was far deeper than that that stopped her from going back until she learned to actually take her own advice and follow it. After she graduated, she got cancer spent the next few years struggling with that and then passed away.
I get a lot of my creative talent streak from her and not a day has gone by that I don’t think of her since she passed nearly 15 yrs ago now, but even more so when I’m painting since she gave me so much helpful advice along the way to learn from.
I hope that I can take her advice in life and just not ever wait until I’m that old to do something I love/want to do especially since watching her fight in the end taught me that you just don’t always have “some day” to do what you want to.

I became bedridden very ill for 9 years now and I became a painter (surface pattern designer) from bed and all out of physical pain. It was a talk like yours from a therapist that got me into painting and now I am happier than ever. I only wished I knew this was my calling earlier but is ok because now “I melt pain into paint 🥰”. Thank you for your Chanel and for sharing about menopause. It has helped me so so much. 💎🙏🏼

So many people in the comment section with wonderful “starting over” stories. It’s all very inspiring. 🤗

I'm a 20 year old music student and even I sometimes feel like I started too late. 😅 Love your channel and the wholesome comment section. 💌

I went back to school later in life and became a nurse and recently overcame cancer that made me realize how important it is to follow your dreams and don’t settle for anything less than what you want. It’s never too late. ❤

This year I hit 40, left teaching in schools, starting an online business, back to my art, and finally back to writing. I've been late to everything in my life but I'm still alive. Thank you for your loving and encouraging message.

I'm 49. I learned to play drums starting at 39 (I got zero support for the desire as a girl growing up in the 80s & 90s) and went on to be in three indie rock bands, played lots of gigs, recorded albums, etc! Yes it was challenging, but also fun, life-changing, and totally worth it -- plus I always knew I could do it/would be good at it, I'd just never had the chance.

When kids would say to me "I'm not good at it" I would say "you don't have to be good at it, just do it."
