Beautiful

Age doesn't define you - Lessons & Wisdom from a 77 year old legend Rick Hammond

Marnie Gowans

This Episode was very special to me. It was very spontaneous, but when I met Rick, I knew I had to bring his wisdom and message to the podcast.

I met Rick a few weeks ago at the gym I work at.

I wanted his message heard because it inspired me so much, it brought me to tears. So many of us give up on ourselves way to early. We park our dreams, our goals and living our life fully because we start to believe we are not worthy of it. We look for evidence to support this. We allow our age to define who we are and where we 'should' be at in our life.

One of my messages in Beautiful is that age does not define you. While ageing is actually a beautiful thing, it doesn't define what you can and cannot do.  It truly is a number. There is so much more to a human that the number of years they have been here...such as how deeply you have lived and loved. 

Rick is a beautiful example of that. He shares how he cultivates his unshakeable mindset everyday, and how he is going to take this mindset into the boxing ring next month when he (in Ricks words) beats the 30 year olds in that ring.

Rick inspired me so much and I cannot wait for you to hear his widsom. Sadly, the episode was only 8 minutes. We only had a very small pocket of time to record but who knows? Maybe I will get him back on the podcast.

If you loved this episode and received value from it, I would love for you to follow the show, so that you can stay up to date with future eps. It would also mean the absolute world to me if you left a review so that I can get this podcast out to more people.
