![Article Article](/images/files/Inspiring-Story-of-Sudha-Gorthi-Why-It-s-Never-Too-Late-to-Start-Something-65d59c60205e1.jpg)
Lifestyle
Sudha Row Gorthi is a wonderful senior from Hyderabad who was inspired by garage sales she saw during a visit to the US in 2016, and decided to start a similar initiative in India. She came up with the idea of a 'Charity Jumble Sale', which involves selling donated goods to support charity. This initiative, which began in 2016, has grown into a large-scale initiative attracting over 1,000 customers.
The annual sale features a wide array of items, from used footwear and golf clubs to large refrigerators, all sold at discounted prices.
There's a secret nobody tells you: life can get even more exciting after years of living and learning!
Think about it. You've got a lifetime of wisdom, stories to tell and dreams still waiting to dance. Now's the perfect time to grab them and say, "Let's go!"
Here's why starting something new can be exciting:
- Light Your Fire Again: Remember that painting you always wanted to try? Or maybe the guitar collecting dust in the corner? Dust them off! Doing things you love, or finding new ones, fills your days with sunshine and purpose.
- Keep Your Mind Sharp: Learning new things keeps your brain happy and healthy, just like exercise keeps your body fit. Trying a new language, joining a dance class, or volunteering – it all helps!
- Make New Friends: Stepping outside your comfort zone opens doors to amazing people. Joining a club, taking a class, or volunteering connects you with folks who share your interests. Laughter, friendship and support – who wouldn't want that?
- Feel Good About Yourself: Learning something new and overcoming challenges feels darn good! This confidence boost spills over into everything you do, making you feel young and awesome on the inside, too.
- Leave Your Mark: Share your knowledge and experiences with others! Younger folks love learning from those who've lived life to the fullest. Your journey inspires them to keep growing and dreaming, too.
Starting new could also be joining a book club, trying online painting, or sharing your stories on a blog. Go forth and create, seniors! It's never too late to bloom! And remember, age is just a number!!
