Thanks, Ryan, for your very personal response. I noticed that being “precocious” is a time-limited advantage. Unfortunately, that was my self-image long after I’d outgrown it. Only, unlike you, I never had the ambition to actualize my big dreams. (We must be different Enneagram types.) I agree that the best is yet to come, and the point of power is always right now. How much power is contained in the NOW is unfathomable – barely glimpsed by most of us, most of the time.
I just coined an acronym for “NOW” (I’m sure someone can improve on this) – “Notice Only Wonder.”

Cheers, Tomar

Wonderful article Tomar! I actually felt like an early-bloomer as I always had wisdom beyond my years, and ambition to actualize my big dreams. However, my early passions eventually waned, my priorities changed, and many of my peers seemed to slowly catch up in terms of intelligence, wisdom and accomplishment. The goal is certainly not to be better than other people my age, and comparison is generally a fruitless endeavor, but that is what I noticed. I feel as though I’ve gone through multiple stages of “blooming” and reinventing myself. Every stage involves many of the processes that you so eloquently described in your article.

I feel as though the best is yet to come. At least, that is what I choose to believe. It’s an empowering belief, as long as I don’t use that as an excuse to wait for anything. The point of power is always right now, in this moment.

Look around on your way to work, or while you sit at your desk. Look at the faces of the people you see. Do they look like they are where they want to be? Do they look like they are in a role that inspires them, a job they would choose again if they had their time over? Or are they simply trying to kill time before the end of the day, wishing the days away and living for the weekend? Unfortunately its probably more of the latter. I think there is something wrong.

Hi Tomar,
What a similar story we have. I was in a career I had dream of since 15 years old but was the a victim of politics. It’s been over a year and my self esteem took a real beating. However, I have recovered and started the internet business which I am really enjoying. Quite different from a Healthcare professional.
I decided I still be passionate about health and well-being through my blogs.
Check out my Life Begins at 50 blog on my website.

I will check back to your site to see what’s going on.

I love it! I am in the same place. I have had a fullfilling career but realized it was not my passion. So at age 50 I decided to change completely. What a fun journey. I still work full time and do my passion on the side. I cant wait to retire so I can do my passion full time.
I agree it is fear of taking the leap that can hold you back. for me it was not understanding my passion.

Good luck. I cant wait to see more of your posts as the flower unfolds.
