“… It is the tired old voice that keeps whispering to them; ‘you are way past your prime.”
“Don’t listen to that voice. Instead, overlook the wrinkles and the grey hair, and rediscover that spark that made you a catch back in the days. When you discover it, build on it with all the confidence you can muster.”
I lived with that voice for a long time–starting well before I was fifty–and still have to remind myself not to listen to it. And still often fail and have to pick myself up again.
But you know what? In my best and truest moments, I feel younger, more alive, more open to possibilities–and yes, sexier and way more of a catch–at 65 than I ever felt in my twenties.
