    You’re still young my friend !
    The older I get the more I realize how important it is to start over.
    It keeps you young and on your toes

    If I was starting over in my mid 40s I'd be tempted to buy a van, hit the road and become a full time van lifer!

    I found this channel by accident, wasn't searching for anything related to its content. So, guess I was meant to find it! I'm 62 and two years ago life twisted in a sudden, unexpected way and I found myself single again after 20 years. I can truthfully say that losing almost everything I have is the best thing that's happened to me. It's given me a different perspective on life and on who I am. A new beginning and fresh start is exactly what I needed ( although I didn't realise it at the time ). I'm moving to NI next month 😂😁, bought a house in Co Down. I don't know anyone, I don't know where anything is, I have no job, very little money to support myself and pets until I find a job, starting completely from scratch again. There is a saying that if you believe you can then you most likely will! Bringing my bike and my kayak and my hiking boots 😁. I look forward to following your progress with your new beginning and fresh start.

    I'm 51 and starting all over again. Just like you, I've been an ex-pat for the last 32 years. Kids are grown-up and settled, split up with the Mrs (not my decision) but luckily we have a property that when split gives me a nice, tidy sum to be able to buy something outright in the UK. I did consider hitting the road and getting a nice van, I do a lot of solo, long distance hiking so that itch has been scratched really. I'm looking forward to some peace & solitude, maybe the Scottish borders or the Western Highlands, and doing what makes me happy. Good luck on your journey & thanks for posting this video. ATB

      Thanks for sharing your story. It sounds like you're embarking on an exciting new chapter, and I can certainly relate to the mix of emotions that come with starting over. Like you, I've spent many years as an ex-pat, and now I'm ready to embrace new adventures.
      I'm glad to hear that you're considering van life-it offers such a unique blend of freedom and exploration. Your experience with solo, long-distance hiking sounds incredible, and it's great that you've been able to scratch that itch. The Scottish borders and the Western Highlands are stunning choices for finding peace and solitude, perfect for reconnecting with what makes you happy.
      Wishing you all the best on your journey. Thanks for sharing and for the inspiration.

    There is never a perfect time. You must make it perfect. Effort = results. Every day is day zero. The 100 push ups a day is one of the best things you can do. In 5 years time it will make you a Superman.

    Never to late! Great video and looking forward to see your next chapter in life 🙂I had worked abroad for a some years, came back to Denmark and started when I was 40 getting a "High School" degree so I could enter the university. Finished my BEng degree a few years ago and in 6-7 month, I'll be graduating with a MSc in Engineering...and I'm 51 now! Sure, there were a few "hick-ups" along the way, but I'm close and I'll still have some 18-20 years ahead of me before I can retire. Midlife crisis or reinvent myself? Maybe part of it, but mostly to change career and more fun job / possibilities in the future.

    the algorithm is showing me a lot of people like you now. It's inspiring. I'm 47 now but still as lost as ever. I've been making a new start in my head for decades but nothing ever happens 😆
    Too much overwhelm. If I started a channel it would be about too many scattered topics.
    But then again, i need to actually DO something. My current existence is a soulless one.

    • @Phillip_Deane
      @Phillip_Deane  Месяц назад +1

      My best advise is just start. I find the answers find you quicker when you take the first step.
      I totally understand how you feel I felt the same but believe me if you're feeling this Its because you are mesnt for something bigger and better
      Keep an eye out for Sundays video 😉
