You’re never too old.
I’m turning 46 in just a two months and a handful of days. And two months ago I started to learn cello. I’ve never learned an instrument in my entire life. I read music (sort of)as a kid in chorus but never an instrument unless you count the trumpet for a few months in 5th grade but I was awful at it and my dog destroyed it because I was that bad.
But a student where I teach offered to teach me. And I’ve given up excess pride a while ago. So I took him up on the offer. And here I am with my very own cello (a gift from my eldest daughter) and a few minutes now daily and my hope is that one day I’ll be able to play an actual real song maybe even by memory.
So here’s your sign…. Go try something new. Do it with love and grow and let that carry to other areas of your life. We need more love and a greater ability to see beyond the boxes we put ourselves and others in. Find an opportunity to grow, to broaden your boundaries— for yourself and others.
