AGE IS BUT A NUMBER

I saw the following quote on Instagram recently:

If you're 17 with a huge YouTube channel, awesome.

If you're 25 and you're a new mom, fantastic.

If you're 36 and changing careers, great.

If you're 45 and starting a biz, super.

There is no age limit to being successful AND there is no single definition of success.

This quote is by Melanie Chisnall. You can see her Twitter handle below:

It sums it up doesn't it? Some people have like a shopping list of things that they want to have done.


  • Degree by 21
  • Married by 25
  • First child by 28
  • Managerial position by 30
  • First house by 33
  • Holiday home by 45
  • Boss of the company by 53
  • Retire at 65
I don't know about you but that looks absolutely boring and it might work for some people but are they happy? I mean really happy. 

They slowly tick off these things one by one but we all mature and come into our own at different times. I would have loved to have started a multi-million dollar business at the age of 21 but I didn't even know what business was then and my biggest decision was to decide what flavour popcorn to buy at the movie theatre on a Saturday night. 

Age is but a number. Please remember that.
