An aware woman in the 55Plus bracket. If that’s you, I’m wondering if you will be sweet and kind enough (I know you will!) to answer a few questions for me? Please?!

One reason for this article is that there seem to be a lot of women who are 55Plus who are not having a good time. Something that should change. They must become more aware of how their life really is … were you aware (sorry!) of how important it is to be aware? Even Harvard Business College thinks so …

But remember … if you ask the right questions you invariably find the answers you need …

We’ll start at the beginning. Some of the questions may be things you thought you had left behind and were done and dusted. But are they? How aware are you of the distance you possibly haven’t travelled?

□ What is at the top of your goal list … the one thing you really want to achieve?

Did you ever try and were you successful or not? Whatever the outcome, how does that make you feel now?

□ What’s one thing you have always wanted to do?

If you haven’t done it, the question has to be why not? What stopped you or should it be who stopped you? Are you aware of feeling there’s something missing?

□ Where is the one place you really really want to go and visit?

It can be anywhere. Is this a lifelong dream? Again, what stopped you from going

What’s stopping you from achieving the goal or doing what you wanted or going where you want? Have you ever stopped to wonder?

Are you aware of the actions you take and the things you say to yourself that are part of your excuse for procrastination?

Remembering that all excuses are equal…

You’re probably worried about:

Money
Time
Energy
Responsibilities
Perhaps you’ve decided you’re not ready or it’s not the right time … If not now … when?!

This is when you stop dreaming, you stop setting goals and you become stuck.

Do you know why? Have you stopped asking the right questions? Are you no longer aware?

Perhaps it’s time to realise that you’re now in the last half of your life … You don’t want it to end with regret.
