In my mid 40\u2019s, I had a turning point in my life.\u00a0 I had left my malignant narcissist husband, had no money, no car and thought \u2018What the hell do I do now?\u2019<\/p>
But what a wonderful moment in hindsight that was.\u00a0 I had nothing, so I had nothing to lose.\u00a0 I was able to design and create the life I had always wanted.\u00a0 I had my health, I could work.\u00a0 Sometimes having nothing to lose can be a blessing.\u00a0<\/p>
I started with writing down everything I didn\u2019t want in my life which made it so much easier to work out what I did want. I have always been a big believer in setting goals and dreaming big.\u00a0 I have had goal books since I was in my early twenties.\u00a0 I am extremely visual, so having pictures really helped me focus and kept me on track.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
For me it was about having self-worth, feeling empowered, self-respect, integrity, being true to my ethic and values, telling myself that I am a strong, loving woman, I am honest, I am worthy, I am a good person, I\u2019m proud of you, I am free, I am safe, I am confident, I am loved, you\u2019ve got this girl and what the hell are you waiting for.<\/p>
I got asked the other day, did I find it hard to trust in a partner again.\u00a0 I said \u201cIt was more about me trusting me again, to listen to my gut feel, my intuition more than trusting others\u201d.<\/p>
I no longer worry about what other people think.\u00a0 Andy Rooney once said\u201d A woman over 50 will not lay next to you in bed and ask \u2018What are you thinking?\u2019 She doesn\u2019t care what you think\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
I exercise my body and mind on a regular basis and feel confident I will achieve my goals.\u00a0 The Australia Bureau of Statistics in 2014 showed, 28% of women business owners were aged 55 years and over.\u00a0 Here\u2019s to following your passion.\u00a0 As Gabriel Garcia Marquez said \u201cIt is not that people stop pursuing their dreams because they grow old.\u00a0 They grow old because they stop pursuing their dreams\u201d. Or the very funny Mae West \u201cYou only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
