43 years old is only as limiting as you believe it to be. There are plenty of people who are experiencing the most fruitful, expansive, creative time of their lives at that age, and they're not "special" in some way you aren't. If you tell yourself you're too old to make a change or learn new things, you'll find it harder to make a change and learn new things. If you tell yourself you're going to meet challenges, as everybody does, but you're better equipped to solve them now than you ever have been, you'll be able to handle whatever comes your way. I'm not always a "mindset is everything" person, but when it comes to believing you can or can't do something really important to you that's well within the scope of what ordinary people do all the time (i.e., you're unlikely to be able to pivot to an elite athletics role), believing you can do it too makes a big difference.
