What Haven't You Done Yet? — Tom Cladis on Adventure, Fear & Staying Curious.

from Against The Norm · host Norman Calvo

What happens when you stop asking, “Am I too old for this?” and start asking, “Why not me?”At 70, Tom Cladis has spent a lifetime refusing to let fear—or other people's expectations—decide what he's capable of doing. He's wrestled alligators, jumped out of airplanes, done handstands on the edges of cliffs, learned gymnastics in his 40s, worked as a flight attendant and financial planner, spent nearly two decades as a youth pastor, and reinvented himself again as an author.But this conversation isn't really about doing crazy things.It's about what happens as we get older and slowly stop believing that almost anything is possible.Tom and Norman talk about rediscovering the adventurous person you once were, overcoming fear through small successes, staying curious, and refusing to let age become an excuse for standing still.And Tom offers a wonderful rule for anyone with a bucket list: Every time you cross something off, put something new on.Because perhaps the most important question isn't what you've already accomplished.It's what haven't you done yet?Connect with Tom CladisWebsite: https://www.tomcladiswrites.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tom.cladisInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tomc_writes/Contact us:   againstthenorm.net
