Have you ever felt too old to achieve something?

Question

I know they say you can do anything you put your mind to… but I’m about to be 25 and I feel so old. I’ve been trying to start a YouTube channel for the past 5 years and I’m just now starting it.. life is going by too fast

haha...25. yea I recall feeling old at 28. you are about 1/4 ay through life. If cannot undersatnd that, then imagine a very large pie... and you ate 1/4 of it.

yes I feel that way now and wondering if it is really worth going to school so I can get to do a job I like, when my time to do that is limited. decisions...

if you really do feel "exhausted"... then something may be up. life changes... what worked at 12 does not work at 25 and that doesn't work at 50. you gotta change... diet, rest, exercise. might have to get physically checked out. Usually, it's just diet, emotional issues, proper rest.

You feel old? Hahaha! I had my 70th birthday last week. You are not even close to being old.

25... old... lol. not even 35 is old. i'm 33 and feel young and still look young. when you're 25, your life doesn't automatically just end and you're deemed old and unworthy... and can't have goals or aspirations... that's a ridiculous thought. do your thing. youtube is supposed to be fun, so don't forget that.

25 is a forgettable age sometimes but it is still so young. Don’t sweat the details and do the things you want to do. And outside of that you’re never too ‘old’ to do the things you want to do. That is something you worry about when you’re young, as you get older you care less tbh

lol I feel sorry for you when you reach 30. You’re going to wish you were 25 one day when you’re 50. Even at 47 I don’t feel old. I probably do more in my day than I did when I was younger. Look at it this way. Do you want to keep doing the same thing for the rest of your life or until you retire? Or spend a few more years if need be to get a YouTube channel going to set you up financially?

nawtee_me · Answer

At 48 I went to college for the first time and at 59 I got my degree. Now at 67 I am getting ready to retire from working for others and starting my own business so I will work for myself. Building a business to leave my kids when that time comes….
You can do it, I have faith in you…..

ChicoFromThe305 · Answer

Its all good, hope you blow up bro, don't stress about the age, there's influencers that are far older than 25, 25 is actually not a bad age to start

exitseven · Answer

Okay- 25 is still a kid. I changed careers when I was almost 40 years old. Yes, it sucks tht it took me so long but I had a good career and I am really glad that I made the effort to do it instead of sitting there and tell myself I am too old to do that.

RavVid · Answer

Some things are not achievable. You are not going to an Olympic gymnast. Sorry if that was your dream but you left it a bit more than a decade too late.

Most things aren't too late once you move past the physical body into the cerebral. There is no reason why you can't start a YT channel at 24 or a wide range of other things.

AviatorTom · Answer

Nope. Not this old geezer. I may be slower than when I was younger, but I haven't yet found anything I could do before that I can't do now.

Are there some things I can't do? Sure, I never have been able to swim the English Channel... or drive a car blindfolded. 😏

I'm in my mid-40s... Yeah. I'd like to date, but no one's interested.

I feel like I'd have to become a whole different person to date, let alone get married and have kids. I have had some health problems that have made me appear to age horribly in the last five years, so I feel like I look 60. I feel so old.

Anonymous · Answer

A year from now I'll be 30 and I have nothing I wanted out of life and have given up on getting it. Age creeps up on you and then you get hit with moments where you realize you know what Floppy discs, Caset tapes and VHS tapes are when to my generations kids and theirs will look at them like relics of an ancient past.

Shiprex · Answer

The digital media market is a balloon waiting to burst and perhaps another passion of yours can take over your focus. At 25 I was JUST starting my career almost by accident and am still at it 30 years later having moved through 2 continents working in multiple countries and systems..

Don't give up there's options beyond the screen in your hand/lap

monkeynutts · Answer

Depends on sports or what you are trying to achieve, society does dictate some age related restrictions on us all, for example you probably won't be able to join the military at age 46, but 36, they may consider you. Your YouTube channel, if it's not successful, maybe there is a problem with your content, or the message you contained in the videos is not reaching the right audience, or maybe you just need more training, to produce better quality videos.

Account · Answer

You will make it. Just be consistent in what you post and the days you post. It will take time but if you don't start now in 5 years you will be wondering why you didn't. Go for it.

As for the answer to your question, absolutely not lol.

purplepoppy · Answer

The biggest cause of injury and death in old people is not accepting they're too old to be doing that.

muhammadyousif · Answer

I don’t have the experience of aging, but I understand how people can feel that way sometimes. It’s natural to wonder if certain goals are achievable later in life, but many people prove that it’s never too late to try something new or pursue a passion. What about you? Do you feel like age has been a barrier to something you want to do?

Take a lesson from President Trump who is in his seventies. The only way to lose is to give in and give up. Nothing is impossible if you have courage and are willing to put in the effort to make it happen.

Circushowcowboy · Answer

Time does go fast and it will only go faster. That doesn’t mean it’s too late to start something. Especially a YouTube channel, if you want to start one I think you should go for it! You will have 5 more years of experience in life now

Tomisworthless · Answer

It only gets worse the older you get, the time passing quickly thing. Im 30 and dead broke at this point im a old man and whatever shot at life career and family are all gone with the wind

Dargil · Answer

Athletically, yes. I ran the 100 yard dash in 10:2 in high school. I'b be lucky to break 14:0 now.

malarkey · Answer

Not yet, but that's general not how my mind works.

LiamS95 · Answer

No it may be just a mindset, if you're in good health and reasonably fit there should be almost nothing you can't achieve if you put your mind to it.

Jupiter1 · Answer

Me? Not yet. Meanwhile, I watched my elders moan and grunt more and more nowadays. They claim that despite their desire to do incredible things, the physical factors are taking their toll on them.

Anonymous · Answer

Maybe stop listening to negative people. You're still breathing. There is always a way you just have to find it. Go do it.

Jay-_- · Answer

No, but sometimes I do feel too young to achieve something.
