Fuc* Your Age.

Our society is fixated on freezing age.

Pick an age and stick with it for the rest of your life because that's how you will be fulfilled.

60-year-old's dressing like they are 30 and some that jab toxins into their skin with a whisper of a hope to rekindle that youth.

Conversely, you have teenagers begging to be respected and handed the keys to the kingdom.

It's a result of buying into fantasy marketing.

With both groups never fully being present, comfortable, or happy within themselves now.

We have an even more perverse issue. 

Those who use their age to limit opportunity, pursue a meaningful vocation, create more excitement in life or just do something new. 

I am too old to learn that new skill.

I am too young to start a business.

The excuse list is often much longer than their chronological age.

You may have heard of...

• Judi Dench [Actress]
• Colonel Sanders [KFC]
• J.R.R Tolkien [Lord of The Rings]
• Akio Morita [Sony Walkman]
• Simeon Poisson [Discovered Laws of Probability]
• Walter Hunt [Safety Pin Inventor]

And many, many more were over 50 when they hit worldwide acclaim.

How about...

• Mark Zuckerberg [Facebook]
• John & Patrick Collison [Stripe]
• Evan Spiegel [Snapchat]

 and many, many more were under 30 when they hit it big.

What do they all have in common?

They were seriously committed to their work.

They found an idea they fell in love with.

They followed it.

What matters beyond age is the belief in yourself and even if that belief is not in yourself, belief into the idea you're going after.

Go after something bigger than your current limitations.

Fuc* your age and fuc* your excuses.
