How can you stop the “I’m too old for this” mindset and encourage individuals to pursue what they like, challenge themselves and try new things?

It can be pretty hard to convince people they can have a new start at any age, and they’re not really to blame. Unfortunately, ageism is deeply rooted in our society and manifests itself in many forms. So the short way is to make a kinder world where everyone sees age as it truly is, just a number.
But that takes a lot of work and time, and we might not even live long enough to see it happen. So we have to come up with simpler ways to correct our seniors’ mindset. For example:
• Tell them about real-life success stories of accomplished seniors
• Find them motivational messages conveying the “you’re never too old” idea
• Make them watch and read inspiring movies or books about older protagonists who made it big
• Never miss a chance to boost their confidence
• It takes time for them to start trying when they have spent a great deal of time thinking it’s too late, but hopefully, they’ll get the message and get into action.
