There is something which happens to a whole lot of people who are getting on in years which is indeed extremely sad to observe, and it's this. Many people who perhaps did not appear to achieve too much with their life in their early and middle years, start to get into a very negative, almost hopeless frame of mind as they approach their senior years, saying to themselves and others, my life is over, I'll never be able to achieve anything worthwhile with my life any more. To anyone who is perhaps in this frame of mind, whether young, middle aged, or in your senior years, I issue you the command contained in the title of today's article, don't write yourself off.
I don't care how big a failure you may have been in the past, or how old you may be, you can indeed still achieve some outstanding things with your life. All it really takes is the belief that you are a divinely created son or daughter of God, filled full of talents which will enable you to do great things with your life, regardless of your age or any other so-called difficulties you may perceive within yourself.
It is a fact, that so many people have achieved some of their greatest accomplishments in the latter part of their life, people like Dr. Maxwell Maltz who was in his late 60s when he began writing and had his best-selling book "Psycho-Cybernetics" published which sold in excess of 15 million copies, and became the definitive book on self-image psychology. Betty White is still doing fabulous work on stage and TV and she's in her 80s. I myself have never been busier in my whole life and am getting my radio series accepted for airing on new stations around the world week after week.
Of course, today's message is not just for those who are getting on in years. There are, I know, a whole lot of people who perhaps failed miserably at something, perhaps a business or a marriage failed ... so what! Today's a brand new day and yesterday is quite definitely over, so why should anyone allow the failures of the past to affect their present progress in any phase of their life. It just doesn't make any sense at all. No it doesn't!
So my friend, if you failed miserably in the past or if you're in your senior years, please I implore you, don't write yourself off for your spiritual father has some great things in store for you. So get up, get dressed, and simply get back in the race, as God quite definitely ordained you to be a winner. Yes he did.
