I'm talking over 40, maybe even over 60. Obviously career wise that type of thing is basically a bust, but carriage and image wise. Is such a thing possible?

Absolutely, positively, unquestionably yes. Yes, it is possible!

is never too late! in my opinion every day is a new beginning and i love those stories where an ordinary person takes off on an adventure.

I know it's popular to say yes. But then it's always said people never change. Something like be more adventurous, or rather wild. Doesn't that look silly after a while.

depends on one's cultural perspective? over in another part of the world people set out on foot and make pilgrimages to religious icons based on faith, while in another part of the world they go on vision quests. i think people can have life-changing experiences that shape them into who they become in later years.

I certainly hope not!!!

I hope not - I'm currently getting in the best shape of my LIFE, so if it's too late I'm gonna be one pissed off, hungry, revenge-donut eating BITCH

I've been getting in better shape too. When I need to buy new clothes they are going to be different than what I'd have bought five years ago.

I also study etiquette because I want my manners to be perfect.

You're always so postive.

I agree. I wish all people in my real life were so positive. I mentioned wanting to be a millionaire in front of a couple of co-workers and they basically said it wouldn't happen. I'd never shoot down their aspirations. I guess there will always be people like that and we must rise above it and live our lives for ourselves.

life has killed the dream i dreamed. Not really, I don't really live for this life.

I am someone who gave myself a total make-over at 50. The thing is be prepared for more than one eye roll. Why do people do it? Because there are parts of us that really are important but when we are younger we don't think they are practical so we try and ditch them in favor of something a bit more practical. We assume these dreams will go away as we mature and for a time they do seem to fade. However during any type of crisis they come surging back. They are a much deeper part of us than we knew.

In the end it is simply about happiness and enjoying life and being the person you were meant to be verses the person that would make your parents proud. At 50, pleasing parents or embarassing parents is no longer something we worry about.

My mom left a Buddhist monastery at age 70, to move to another country and begin teaching Buddhism in her native language. Two years later she's doing something she wanted to do for years. Heck she didn't even go into monastic life until she was 55. Prior to that she was a married homeowner with a career.

So, no, I don't think "40 or even 60" is too late. Where there's a will there's a way.

Yeah, I've noticed that. What is that?

Ok, that's a change. Awesome.

Well in my case it was pretty understandable. It was like a bit of me had to be 24 again. I have known of women getting big tattoos that never seemed to be of the tattoo type. I honestly think that you sort of have to pick up where you left off. You look a bit silly, at least I did at first.

I think all of us (men and women) should do something different in terms of style this summer. Even if it is just a new piece of jewelry or a new fragrance.

I think people just get a little uncomfortable with what they've become accustom to. It rocking their boat so to speak. But if someone is suffocating, they need to get out from underneath everybody's else wants and find their own.

I think it's never to late to change your diet and exercise more

That too. That's eternal.

Seeing the world change around you, one would have to change regardless. Right?
