One of the changes I’ve discovered about myself since turning 50 is that you find yourself fully mentally liberated. You no longer feel the need to conform to cultural, traditional or social limitations or conventions.

You are no longer moved or bothered by what other folks say or think about you. You hear them…but you ain’t listening.

But you listen only to your inner convinctions and go only by what you are comfortable, happy and at peace with.

At 50, you are finally able to boldly, loudly and meaningfully declare “This is me. Take me or leave me”

You no longer feel the need to apologise for whom you are or what you believe in.  Neither do you feel the need to hide whom or what you really are.

You are more at peace within yourself and fully confident in your own skin. You’ve had 50 years of living with and getting to know yourself with all your warts, imperfections, weaknesses and blemishes…..you are now fully familiar with YOU!

50 brings a higher level of confidence and boldness that comes from within. You are more confident in speaking your mind and only stay silent because you feel it is wise to do so, but not because you have been silenced by another voice.

You are more capable of  weighing choices and making them based on what is right for you.

You no longer feel the need to deny yourself just to please others and you feel much less of the need to justify yourself or your actions to anyone.

At 50, you finally start to live…..for yourself.

Life truly begins at 50!
