Hi there, this is Andrew Smith International Life Coach with a question for you: The question today is “When does life begin, for the sentient adult?”

In recent months I have been in conversation with people who have reached or are about to reach the ages of 40 or 50, here’s what I’ve been telling them of my own experience.

People used to say that “Life begins at 40!”, but due to how much longer people are living, I suggest that the saying should be “Life begins at 50!” From my own personal experience, I am able to wholeheartedly endorse this statement.

You see, although I really enjoyed my 40th birthday party, with my family and so many good friends who were there, technically I was only 39 on that Friday night.

It was on the Sunday of my birthday, after my parents had returned home on a bleak and foggy November day, I felt like my life was over; that I was only here to aid my children as they grew up. However when I got to 50, I felt more alive than I had ever felt before! Don’t despair, life is sweet at age 50 and beyond, I promise you!

What ever your age is today, you can decide to have a wonderful life from right now, this minute! You are the one that runs the thoughts in your head; you choose whether to feel happy or sad. You get to decide moment by moment just how to feel. Maybe we should change the statement from “Life begins at forty!” not to “Life begins at 50!” but to “Life on your terms begins, whenever you decide to focus on living it your way!”

So when does life begin for the sentient adult? I suggest it’s the day you decide to focus on living your life, your way. In conclusion Ralph Waldo Emerson said:” Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you, that you’re wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”
