At the turn of the 20th century, around 1900, life expectancy of an average person was 50 years old. Today, in our society, the average life expectancy of a man is 78 and a woman's is approximately 83 years old. Now, do you feel old, burned out, with the best years behind you, and you're just Fifty-Something?
Do your kids look at you as though there is no way you could have brought them into the world by having sex? Much less, not only be still having it but enjoying it even more? It is a known fact that at the age of 60 the body kicks in for most people of normal health, as a new cycle and lease on life. This has been referred to by some as almost like feeling being 'reborn' - thus the term evolved "A New Lease On Life".
There is an old saying that "youth is wasted on the young". That saying means that as we grow older and mature we can really start appreciating life because of the wisdom we have gained by the follies, faults, and failures from our younger years. But quite the opposite is happening. You're not getting older, you are getting better. Hopefully wiser and far more skilled than your teenage children think they are because they can type faster than you on their computers.
I've been a singer, songwriter and producer for 40 years and every time I go into the studio, I feel like I gain more confidence with my skills. I continually feel that I am becoming better at my craft than the time before. I look back on days gone by when I felt that I knew it all, but I was only just getting started in understanding my business, my craft and my creative abilities.
My hope is that you will put this idea that you are 'burned out' - out of your head - and bring forth your ideas that are now just catching on fire. So if you're feeling that it's 'all over', then let that go and realize that you're only beginning, and that you are indeed a BOOM BABY. So ROCK ON!!!!!!
The only thing that slows down my brain is listening to politicians' promises.
For inspiration - I'm in my 50's, Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, The WHO are all in their late 60's and are still touring with their bands. Charlie Daniels is 75 and just finished a new CD and is also on tour. Willie Nelson remembers the day he got off the Ark with Noah and even HE is still touring.
My new song 'BOOM BABIES' from my CD Album 'I'VE BEEN THINKING' - SAYS IT ALL. Hear it right now @ http://www.ilike.com/artist/Bryant+Sterling+aka+Denis+Lee+Bryant/track/BOOM+BABIES
