Your past is behind you, and starting from this very moment (whether you are 20 or 65 and beyond), there has never been a better time than RIGHT NOW to be open to all that the future holds, and to get intentional about how you will spend your time and energy. Focus on what matters most to you. Identify what you value most, and make those values the center of all that you do. Whether that is in your day-to-day life, or in your business or at work. If you aren’t sure how to identify your core values, listen to this podcast episode on the Do It Scared® podcast that Ruth recorded all about this. But we are here to tell you—it only gets better from here…you’re not even close to heading downhill. Your forties will be fabulous (and by that, we mean amazingly wonderful and extraordinary). Now that you have given your life the respect and honor that it deserves—no matter how big or small the accomplishments or memories, let’s get to work moving forward to living this next phase of life in an even more purposeful way. Try new things. Have you always wanted to play an instrument? Learn a new language? Learn to paint? Visit a new place? Say no to things that leave you feeling empty or unappreciated? Paint your living room a bright and vibrant color? Then DO it!When it comes to aging, there’s no need to fear the big 6-0! In fact, it’s a cause for celebration! In this post I highlight the 17 things that make being 60 absolutely amazing — from newfound wisdom to retirement adventures. Let’s embrace our 60s together! You have likely already lived a much longer life than those who came before you, and you are well on your way to living an even longer one.

The big 4 – 0. This birthday always seems to be marked with a negative outlook or a gloomy cloud hanging over it. Companies come and go, but some manage to stay open longer than expected. A recent internet survey asked, “What obsolete companies are you surprised are still holding on in the modern world?” Here are the top 21 answers. It is time to take control of your narrative and make this next phase of your life all about YOU and living the life you want…be intentional with your time and your life. If you just can’t imagine what that would look like then read stories of other women and how they have begun to live intentionally like our founder, Ruth Soukup. Or read books like Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (p.s. don’t watch the movie, actually read, or listen to the book—it’s much better).
Being ‘Cool’
No mistakes, only lessons. Don’t waste your future focusing on the mistakes of the past—and don’t prevent yourself from moving forward for fear that you may mess up again. We all mess up from time to time. We all make choices that we are not proud of. None of us are perfect, and that is where life is learned. It’s okay. We all struggle sometimes with the fear of making mistakes, but reframing and getting past that fear can truly help you create a life you love.

If so, take a pause and reflect on your life for a moment. Truly celebrate the fact that you’ve made it this far and honor all that you’ve accomplished—big and small. Celebrating that milestone means you have survived (and at times thrived) through FOUR decades—that’s 14,610 days (give or take a few for leap years). Considering that just 100 years ago the average life expectancy for most women was barely more than 40 years…hitting this milestone birthday means you have lived a lot of life already. What happens when we enter our 40s is that our body begins to change physically and mentally. So while we are hearing and seeing these words and phrases about the next phase in life being the downhill part, we are also physiologically noticing that things just aren’t exactly as they used to be. Maybe we aren’t sleeping as comfortably, we may be carrying an extra few pounds despite our best efforts, and our skin complexion may also be changing. These changes can make us more aware than ever that we are entering a new and different phase of life, and dare we admit it, these changes may actually make us start to believe that those rumors that the best years might actually be behind us…are true. Military training often engrains some odd habits that stay with members for life. An internet survey recently asked, “What screams “I’m ex-military?” Here are the top 22 responses.
