Of course you can turn yourself around, just because your turning 40 doesn't mean life hasn't more challenges ahead of you. The saying is life begins at 40!!! Set yourself some goals to achieve. You could do a course you could do volunteer work, there is so much you can do just set your mind to it and go for it. My life changed around when I turned 40 and then again new things happened when I turned 50, so go for it and don't look back. good luck
You have to stop thinking about the past and what you didn't do. Take it one step at a time and remember you can't change what has happened you just have to learn and take that knowledge with you. I got divorced in my late 40's and had to restart life and it is hard but worth the fight. Let go of the past and live you life the way you want to now
Success is defined by your goals. Work on setting your goals, figure out what activities will help and which will hold you down. The only thing worth living for is the next life. Believe in God, love and serve others. And notice how pessimistic and cursed (sinking) feel those that look down upon Jesus and His teachings. Money, women, power and descendants are all earthly bonds that will be dirt one day. Many people who have all those are not happy, and still feel empty inside. Read Matthew, Mark, John and Luke, Believe and start living!
It's easier than you think.


At this age, you'll start to realize the only person preventing you from becoming whatever you can dream is you.





Read Randy Pausch's small book ';The Last Lecture'; to see what I mean.
I feel the same way. I'm 36. This is NOT where I wanted to be. I haven't achieved anything and really feel like a failure because I am unmarried and childless.


I think you're probably gonna get a lot of comments from 'Jesus Freaks' telling spewing their crap on you. I don't know what the answer is. If you find it, let me know.
Yes, you're still young and you can restart your life over again at 39. But you had better get started because the older you get the faster the years fly by and one day you'll be 50 and thinking the same thing.
yes you can restart, maybe just not Everything
You may find having a personal relationship with God helpful as He is love and our Creator --- all-knowing, all-powerful, eternal, holy, love. God loves us and sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, so we can go to heaven if we know and follow Him. Forever means without end -- time on and on without death. Forever is what happens after we die. Either we go to heaven and be with God forever, or we go to hell which is very bad and painful forever. The good people who are saved believers in Jesus Christ go to heaven. The bad people go to hell. We need to know and follow God in this world to get to heaven in the next world. Jesus Christ, God's Son, is our bridge to God. Jesus died on the cross to cancel our sins. We need to accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Savior forever to receive God's blessing and forgiveness plus go to heaven to be with God forever after we die. This is about being a born-again Christian. Faith in God is a gift from God. You can pray for faith in God. Just speak out and ask God for the faith to believe in Him and to follow Him. Some people find faith in God when they realize the beauty in the world is made by God. Evolution can't explain the world's natural beauty, for example, the parks in the world, animals, flowers, peacocks, sunsets, butterflies, rainbows, etc. After you have your faith on, you can pray a sinner's prayer to be a born-again Christian. This prayer is very important and should be said with a sincere heart and faith in God. This is the prayer: ';Dear God, I know that I am a sinner and that Jesus Christ is the sacrifice for our sins. I have done the following sins (state these out) and I pray to discontinue these sins. I pray to receive Jesus Christ into my life as my Lord and Savior forever. In Jesus' name, amen.'; You can find a


Christian church and try it out. I'm Lutheran and I like the Baptist churches too. Some churches do a weekly Bible study group and these can be a fun way to make friends and learn more about God's will for your life. God bless.
