As I type this, I’m one week away from my 50th birthday. Wow, how did that happen? When I was younger, I always thought I would dread turning half a century old, because I certainly mourned my 30th birthday. I’m actually looking forward to my birthday this year! I appreciate life so much more than when I was younger. I’m not so worried or scared about life in general now. I’ve been contemplating starting a YouTube channel to just see what happens. I asked myself “Why would I start a YouTube account to talk about my favorite subject, when so may people are doing the same thing?” My immediate answer was ” To have fun! “. So, I think I will! I would have never answered like that in my younger days because I was so serious. I look back and laugh at myself more and more.

I admit I thought momentarily about what would other people think. Videos available of me talking about spirituality and law of attraction, the subconscious and how everyone is connected. I felt hesitation. I’m blogging about those subjects here, but filming myself and posting on YouTube is a different story, at least in my mind it is. Then I asked myself what I would tell anyone who asked me my advice given the same situation. My answer would be to follow the path that excites you the most and other people’s opinions are none of your business.

I think I’ll follow my own advice.

Which brings me to another topic. Why do we think other people can do certain things better than we can? For example, you tube videos. I watch all kinds of videos and I follow people who talk about my interests. Why do I default to thinking they can do that but I cannot? As a 50th birthday gift to myself, I’m going to stop thinking like that. I’m going to embrace anything that excites me and brings me happiness. I’m going to love myself and my life. I’m going to believe that if it’s important to me, then it’s worth my time and energy.

During those first 50 years, I’m guilty of putting myself on the back burner. All we have is now, so if there is something you want to do or achieve, now is the time. You can do it. Just figure out the first step and do that. Everything else will work out.
