My favorite scene in the movie “The Holiday” is where Eli Wallack’s character is having dinner with Kate Winslett’s character and he comments on her relationship with the guy she’s pining for.  He tells her she is “leading lady material” though she is not acting like it.  Her response:

“You’re right.  I should be the leading lady in my own life! ”

Isn’t it time for you to become the leading lady of your life?    

Are you tired of playing by rules that “just don’t feel like you”?  Doing things that don’t align with your goals and dreams.  Trying to please everyone but the most important person in your life – you. 

As you’ve celebrated your fiftieth birthday you may be feeling it’s not only a time for reflection but also a time to strategize your future.  After all, don’t you think it’s time to start living your life on your terms?

Doing what you want, when you want, how you want and with whomever you choose !

As a child your parents told you what do and when to do it and likely taught you how.

As a teenager you started making some of your own choices and learning to accept the responsibility and potential consequences of those choices. 

In your twenties you likely started a job or career and became financially responsible for yourself.  Maybe you found a partner and maybe you started a family and assumed even more responsibility. 

And just maybe you chose to defer your personal goals and dreams for what you thought was in the best interest of your family at that time.

But our lives are constantly evolving.  Our families grow up and they need us in different ways, often requiring less of our time. And so we begin the next chapter of our lives. 

You now have the freedom to do and be whatever you choose. You have earned the privilege of finding what will fulfill you!  It may be time to revisit those goals and dreams you pushed aside many years ago.

This is your opportunity to star in the next chapter of your life – the one where you and your dreams take centre stage.

We are not defined by our age but by our attitude.

• What excites you?  Maybe adds a little sparkle to your life?
• What are your unfulfilled personal dreams or goals?  
• Any inner voices coming to life?
• Will you be happy retiring and staying home with your family?
• Are you ready for a new career, entrepreneurship or non-profit?  
• Do you want to volunteer?
• Do you want to travel?

Whatever your choice…

Have the Courage to Live Your Dream – Not Someone Else’s

There is no universally right or wrong answer.  It’s a very personal choice.  Cherish your time and choose to make it most meaningful for you.  Design your future.  Accomplish your goals.  Live with intention, passion and style.  Have the courage to be authentically you.

Be the leading lady in your life!  

after all…

Nobody does you better than you!
