As I blew out the candles on my 50th birthday cake, I couldn't help but smile at the journey that has brought me to this moment, filled with gratitude for the privilege of another year. As I celebrate this milestone, I find myself reflecting on the beautiful dance of life - how the vibrancy of youth may fade, but in its place the spotlight shines on the rich tapestry of wisdom and experience.
I also have some exciting news to share with you! I'm delighted to introduce the Personal Development Mastery Coffee Hour! This is your chance to connect with me and like-minded listeners every second Monday of the month, starting in May. We'll have lively discussions about personal development, insights from the podcast and anything else that's on your mind. So grab your favourite drink and join the conversation!

Welcome to Personal Development mastery podcast. This is episode 387.

I am very excited to announce something new and ongoing that will increase the value that you get from the podcast.

Before I make the announcement, there's something else that I wanted to mention. A few weeks ago ahead, the joy, prevalence blessing and gift of celebrating my half century birthday of all myself exploring the city of Bucharest in Romania where I was during the birthday. And there are two things that I have been reflecting on on the occasion of such a milestone. The first is that saying that 40s is the old age of youth, and 50s is the use of old age. I think it was Victor Hugo, who wrote that and my own reflection on it is that after 50, you don't consider yourself a young person anymore. You know, no one would ask you for ID to serve your alcohol or anything like that. But certainly, you don't think of yourself as old is it? Goodness, I feel better in many ways better than when I was 30. So the phrase the youth of old age certainly resonates with me.

There is a second thing I've been reflecting on. And that's why I used the word privilege earlier when I was talking about reaching the milestone of having lived for half a century. And what I'm realising is that growing older it is indeed a privilege. And it is a privilege denied to many. Of course, it comes with consequences. But that is the way life is and it has been for 1000s For millions of years. And as George Clooney once said, I'm kind of okay with getting older because it's better than the other option, which is to be dead. So I will take getting older.

Anyway, coming back to what I was saying earlier about the announcement. Drumroll please. Announcing the personal development mastery coffee hours, or you can call it office hours. So from now on, on the second Monday of every month, we will have a time where my doors will be open. So if you've ever wanted to meet me and talk about personal development, the podcast or anything in between, then come along, bring your coffee or beverage of choice. And let's chat.
