Age Is Not An Issue In The Story Of Diana Nyad.
Age Is Not An Issue In The Story Of Diana Nyad.
So I just watched a movie based on Diana Nyad who is a marathon swimmer who broke records and achieved several firsts in the sport. At the age of 60, she decided to complete the feat she wasn’t able to when she was 28—swim the more than 100 miles from Cuba to Florida without the aid of a shark cage, powered only by her stubborn will and swimming prowess.
It took four additional attempts spanning four years, but on Sept. 2, 2013, her face and mouth swollen after more than 53 hours in the water, Nyad stumbled onto the shore in Key West, claiming to be the first person to successfully make the swim unassisted.
When people say you're too old, you missed your shot, or that you should give up, I will think of her and how many people told her the same things. She refused to believe it, no matter how many times she heard it or that she failed, she never stopped.
Let me make you feel better. Did you know that Ray Kroc, the Coca-Cola founder, started after fifty. As did Colonel Sanders
Henry Ford, Martha Stewart, and even Judi Dench who became famous around the world when she was 60. My greatest role model was my mother, who went to get her high school diploma and then went on to college at 50. So don't tell me it's too late, it's never too late.
It's all in your mind. I don't feel my age, and I don't ever say I'm old. I don't talk about
my aches or pains. I hang out with people way younger than me. I date younger men and I am not ashamed. I have always kept my childlike wonder. Who says you need to act your age and why? I like to dance in the gym or on the streets, so what? I like to sing loudly in the car, leave me alone because I'm am having fun. I will try anything once because life is short and I don't want to have any regrets. I don't want to miss any moments.
So today my friends I am here to tell you that the best thing about being this age is that it teaches you one thing, not to give a shit what other people have to say.
Do you! Don't act your age because age is just a number. Don't give up, let these people who I mentioned inspire you because age is no issue unless you make it one.
