60+ Star: Louise Hay

by Bonnie on December 7, 2009

Can you live fully and make a difference after 60?

Louise Hay certainly has.

Her book, You Can Heal Your Life, was published in 1984. She was sixty-two at the time.  A classic in the self-help field, this best selling book has sold more than 35 million copies worldwide.

At 81, Louise released her first-ever film on her life and work, You Can Heal Your Life: The Movie.

Now 83, Louise still heads her own publishing company, perhaps the largest one in the personal growth/self growth field,  featuring well-known authors such as Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer.

She says “I’m in my 8th decade.  And this is going to be my best decade yet!!”

How’s that for a little inspiration to make the most of your 60s and beyond?

There are days when I don’t feel inspired at all. I feel as if I am on a treadmill that will never stop. Then there are days when I read something that inspires me to keep trying. I can’t say there is any one person or any one thing that helps. I do have a quote that really hit home from TUT that goes something like: To get what you want, you must know what you want. To know what you want, you must know yourself. To know yourself, you must be yourself. To be yourself, you must listen to your heart. This really resonates with me and I have it posted above my desk at work; I should put it here on my desk at home – there are days I could use the reminder!

Ruth, “treadmill that will never stop” doesn’t sound like much fun. Why not put the TUT quote that speaks to you where you can see it often?
