    And if you retire, do it with a satisfaction.
    I am pretty happy with my semi-retired status 🙂

    Nice message there, jahitty! You have to stop when your listening to yourself listing reasons why you will be unsuccessful, don’t make it, etc… and just do something. Funny thing is if you tell this yourself long enough you’ll believe it. I can tell, overcoming my trepidation was hard enough. On top of that others question you, too.

    Be happy what you have and make the best out of it, could always be worse! 🙂

    The problem with this kind of thought process is when people think about doing something ex. being a DJ, making music, most of the time they may think about the finish line … which is not bad in some cases it may keep you focused. But on the other hand when you are not experiencing much success, or something goes wrong, it feels a bit deperessing, you want to quit instead of working harder. You have to do the best you can, with the things you have now.

    I am 50 and still make money (because I like doing it, not because I have to) DJ-ing. So never say you are too old.

    I am hitting mid 40’s and still gig. Wife and I have a baby due in October. (my eldest is 23 and also produced 2 grandkids for me) Just landed a gig for November that is a street party that, on last years figures attracted 50,000 people. I will stop when I don’t enjoy it anymore.
