How often do you think you can or can’t do something based on your age? Oh I can’t relax, I'm not old enough, oh I can curse I'm young, oh I am, oh I am not, I am, I'm not… Age is just a number. The number of people who have said, “there's no way I can be successful. I'm not old enough.” Is a little ridiculous.
Today I was joined by my friend, Alysia Clements. She is a 21 year old entrepreneur in the Denver area that is absolutely crushing the Airbnb business. She currently has ownership in around 30 Airbnb properties. Now Alysia wasn’t always working in this market. She had to go through many hardships that lead her to the ventures she is in today.
The reason she defines that age is just a number is that she shows others that this life doesn’t need to operate on a select time frame. A common life would structure everything out for you, first you go to school, then you go to college, then you get a job and you work until you retire. This commonality of life is starting to break, more and more people are redesigning the way we see the time frame of life and have begun to build in the beginning of life when many others are still staring at the blueprint.
You can’t allow the history of mankind to determine the way you will live. Life has a complex winding system of paths that will change as you move along. Yes you can follow the guide, follow the given straight ahead path or you can go on an adventure! Travel your mind and resign the idea that you can or can't do anything. Break the mold and become who you want to be. No matter the time table you are dancing on.
