At What Age Should You Stop Dreaming?BAy Sonny Melendrezfew years back, I had the distinct pleasure of serving as the emcee at the opening ceremonies of theInternational Senior Olympic Games, held at San Antonio’s historic Alamo Stadium. It was there I met Harry, a golf enthusiast whose story was both inspiring and unexpected.When I asked Harry how he came to love golf, he shared a charming tale. Despite his friends’ long-standing passion for the sport, Harry was content riding along in the golf cart. One day, he decided to pick up a club, hit a few balls, and, as he put it, “I’ve been hooked ever since.”Curious about his journey, I asked how long ago this newfound passion began. “Twenty-two years ago,” he replied. I was taken aback when he revealed his age at the time: “Eighty.” Now, at 102 years old, Harry still plays golf with the enthusiasm of someone decades younger. His enduring love for the game blossomed well into his senior years, proving that age is no barrier to starting something new.Then there’s Gladys Burrill, who reached the remarkable age of 100 and whose legendary adventurous spirit defied all expectations. A accomplished pilot, horseback rider, and mountain climber, Gladys gained fame for her remarkable achievements in her 90s. At 86, she completed her first marathon, and at 92, she famously finished the Honolulu Marathon after a grueling 9 hours and 53 minutes of power-walking. Her extraordinary feat earned her recognition from Guinness World Records and the Hawaii House of Representatives.These remarkable individuals remindS.T.A.G.E.OCTOBER 10, 11,12,13, 18,19, 20, 25, 26, 27Adults- $25 • Students - $15 Seniors -62+ Military- $17us that age should never be an obstacle to pursuing dreams or setting new goals. As C.S. Lewis wisely said, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” So, no matter your age, let your aspirations soar.Here’s to chasing your vision, no matter how old you feel.Sonny Melendrezis an award-winningmotivational speaker,Hall of Fame radio/TV host and author,based in San Antonio.For more of his enthusiastic brand of inspiration and speaking information, visit www.SonnyMelendrez.com and listen to his podcast.PresentsStern patriarch Chester Dumbrosky has decidedto make amends.
