Guess which one she is? Hint: It's not Mr Bean
I hear versions of 'I'd love to do x.....but it’s too late to change now' A LOT.
But is it?
My Nan became a go-to "supergran" on TV - in her 80s!
She regularly appeared as an extra in classics like Mr. Bean’s church scene (above!), Hale & Pace sketches (beating up a milkman), and was a regular in Waiting for God - all long after many people had hung up their hats and slowed down (anyone watching tv in the 80/90's in the UK may remember these shows!)
She didn’t have an acting background. She just decided she would give it a go. And that attitude led her to have a whole new adventure later in life.
I think of her often when I hear people talk about it being too late to make a change.
Whether it’s a career pivot, picking up a passion project, or doing something completely unexpected - there’s no deadline for trying something new.
So, if you're sitting there feeling like it’s too late, take a cue from my Nan*... because you never know where life might take you next!
