My body betrays my best intentions – I’m just too tired ...

Everyone can find reasons not to get into action. Lubricate those joints and awaken a cause greater than your obstacles. To be alive is to serve and reward others and yourself. As long as you can breathe and move a muscle, you can contribute to the world in some small or significant way. Dig deep inside yourself, locate that inner drive for service and make a difference in someone’s life. This will renew your own spirit and revitalise your heart and soul. You will feel alive and younger. Don’t let excuses stop you from living a dream. Get moving now before your old belief takes away your new life.

I didn’t plan for my retirement. Can I turn my finances around?

No matter what your age is, you still have something you can contribute to someone. Try looking for someone or a group of people to serve and money will become a by-product of services rendered. Then save a portion of whatever you make and become a master of money instead of a slave. This will set you on a path to financial freedom.

What lies ahead – is there anything I can do to ward off the ravages of age?

Keep your mind and your body active. If you don’t use them, you lose them. Stretch your joints, breathe deeply, eat wisely and moderately, drink plenty of water, keep moving, take daily actions that are inspiring, serve others and plan your life the way you would love it to be and you will add years to your life and life to your years.

My partner is looking at younger women: how do I compete?

It is not wise to live in a fantasy that your partner will not notice young and attractive people. That is natural and can be stimulating. Anyway be careful of double standards. You are probably doing it yourself. Try focusing on what you have to offer your partner and not, on what you don’t. Empower all areas of your life so you are still the best package on the market and he will be less likely to stray. Concentrate on what he considers most valuable, for example golf or work, and see what you can do to contribute to those areas of his life. And remember a physically satisfied man is less likely to wander.
