Not too late to start over. Finding purpose after 40, 50, 60, or at any age.

I'm 51. In the last 10 years I beat stage 3 cancer, had a husband cheat and walk out on his family, endure a nasty divorce and 6 year custody battle, lose a job and my father. Sometimes, it seems like starting over is all there is to do.

I am 70 and left a 25 year relationship because of bad manners, lack of respect, no intimacy and selfish behavior traits. I lost my identity. One year later I look beautiful, I live well, working again with young people and have started over better and stronger. I am so grateful, full of joy and I am free. Go for it, you can do it. 💐🌸🌷🌺

Good luck from an 80 year old. I'm starting up a woodworking and picture framing business I shut down years ago. Home based. I also still ride a Harley.

I changed my life at 45 after the stress of my work, a divorce and a new mortgage caused my immune system to enable pneumonia into me. I had an NDE then a breakdown. I was a wreck. So when a distant piece of rural land came up for sale, I sold up and quit my former life. Now at 67, I'm living in a beautiful woodland that I planted those years ago. I'm offgrid, self sufficient in heating fuel and natural building materials, own springwater, a wild swimming pond, and a good, simple, artistic life. The icing on the cake is that a friend's daughter is a professional film maker with big contacts, and wants to put my land on a lucrative film location list. W When there's few choices left, jumping into the unknown is the best choice you can make.

I started my life over four years ago at 59 by going to my first AA meeting. Four years later I didn't know life could be this good. Best of luck to everyone.

I'm in tears as I write this! at 54 my husband decided after a decade of marriage he didnt want to be married anymore. Thankfully, I had money saved so I stayed in our home we shared together for a few months and thanks to God I brought a house. Fast forward to today and getting ready to turn 55, Ive struggled with feeling lonley at times, overwhelmed with my current responsibilities and lacking self care. Often times I'm feeling as if I want to cry thinking of "what NOW. "As recent as this morning as I began to prepare for work, (thankfully I'm working from home) i came across your video. I usually have youtube in the background with something positive in the background, its my way of being intentional of what I allow in space/head. I was thinking it would be nice to see videos with people my age and share in a community with a safe space real life feelings. Your video is what I needed! I'm not starting over professionally, I love what i do, but I need to reset and begin life without a partner....meaning start living outside of work. You made me consider finding hobbies and getting out of the house to take time for me!!! Please keep the videos coming they are inspiring! By the way you are beautiful and not OLD!! Thank you🥰😇😇😇

I'm 63 years old. I 'm a disable. But God gave me the new start from January in this year. I come to go to support office to learn IT. I'm learning WEB building. I think it is good for you to dance and you get joy. I hope to excise like you. Thank you for shareing.

I turn 58 in less than 2 weeks. Got laid off from my job last week Friday. Honestly, it's a relief. I'm going to take some time, explore my heart, and makes some decisions. I have no family to speak of, so it's just me. And everything is on the table- career, location, etc....I'm on a pathless path. And I feel really good about it. I'm going to trust my instincts and explore. Thanks for your video.

❤Amen to the 60 year olds starting over. I'm with you! 🙏

In 2012, I got laid off from my corporate executive job after 15 years at age 51. I spent years trying to get work and finally decided to go back to college and retrain in a different field. I graduated from Le Cordon Bleu and worked as a chef/baker until the pandemic in 2020 when my café closed. I needed money to pay bills, so I started reselling. 4 years later, I’m 63 with a thriving business that I love. I have the flexibility to work when I want and pursue other interests. This year, I’m taking my business international, traveling to Europe and Asia to thrift vintage items I can resell in the US. I also want to take classes in mosaic art and jewelry making. The best part is that all of my travel expenses are tax-deductible!

What a wonderful testimony! I am nearing 64 years old. I’m a widow, I retired last year after a 35 year career. I too love to dance! I take Zumba, strength training and yoga classes. I don’t give a second thought about my age or level of fitness in those classes. If I can go full throttle with the moves I certainly do but if I have to modify moves, I do that too. I’m just grateful for movement. I look back over the last 10 years of my life and see the growth, the change, the evolution and I ain’t finished with this evolution and neither are YOU! Keep dancing, keep drumming, keep lifting those weights and keep soaring!!!

I have realised that one of the true and most powerful purpose in life, is letting go. It is too easy to cling onto "something", and place the value of ourselves and our life on external stuffs, or chasing after some kind of dreams endlessly. Letting go, is the powerful one. Such mental strength is very strong. When we can finally relax and live in the moment, we are no longer "lacking or longing". We are finally here and now, living the best life.

Starting over with a dog at your side is the only way to go. Dogs add so much to life. ♥️

At 50 i got my Masters, my mom died when i was 21, had a deadbeat father and no family. My husband died at 37 when he was unemployed. I have worked extremely hard all my life, while others have had it so much easier. But determination has brought me through.

At 47, I just wanted to thank you so much for this video. ❤

46 and going back to school for nursing and both of sons are in college 🙌🙌recently divorced after 14 years but take time to heal but never stop enjoying life and take it one day at a time!!!

Thank you so much for sharing it with the rest of us. I am 65 years old and, like you, have had quite a few different workplaces, some of them good and some of them bad - downright terrible. I was so privileged that I could retire from the labor market when I turned 60. For the last 5 years I have been able to fulfill my dream of photographing and making short films about people who have been less fortunate than most of us. And it has brought an incredible amount of joy and meaning into my life. It's never too late to start over. The only thing standing in the way is the fear of not succeeding. Trust me - the "journey" itself will give you so much energy, curiosity and courage to continue, so it's all worth it. I so wanted to give you a proper hug because I can feel how hard you've worked on it and I can feel the confidence and joy you've gained from that work. I wish you all the best for the rest of the time we have left in this world.

I am 63 and I will be graduating college this year with my masters degree and I’m now doing my internship in my final year. I got my bachelor at age 59 in Social Work.

I will be 58 in November and was a stay at home Mom for 18 years. I left an IT career to raise my twin daughters. I left an abusive marriage in 2022. I am struggling to find and keep work. Was laid off in March. I am learning to live alone. Really enjoy the peace I have found. I can relate with the fear of suviving and becoming homeless. Feeling safe is important to me. I take care of myself now too. I do not know what my passion or purpose is yet as I am still trying to figure out who I am. An office job is ok for now but I want to build my own business. I do not want to be a corporate slave this half of my life.I am so grateful to have come across your page. I don't feel so alone.

I am 38 years old and thought it’s too late. Thanks for the video have run down the comments and they are eye opener. I am glad YouTube recommended this to me.
