Life is a journey filled with experiences, and these experiences are a result of our choices. Everybody occasionally makes unwise choices, which is totally acceptable. But when we do not learn from our mistakes or continue to repeat them, we can miss the boat and feel like failures; except failure is not an option! We must be determined to live life to the fullest, regardless of our present and past circumstances. In This Side of Forty, author Cathy Glen encourages us to not use age as a deterrent to setting and accomplishing personal and professional goals, and she challenges us to be open to new and fresh ideas—even if they are different than our own. This Side of Forty offers simple steps we can use to move toward a life of contentment instead of just sailing through life and blowing in the winds, wherever they take us. No matter your age, you still have choices to make in life. And even if your life feels like it’s stagnated, now is the time to change your thinking, set your goals, and make it happen! Everyone has a gift that has the potential to change the world for the better, and This Side of Forty can help you live life to the fullest, teaching you how to share what you have with the world!
