>>One thing that often turns me off is seeing others which do that activity for quite some time and are already good at it (I'm 35 years old), while I'm just starting and seem incapable in comparison.

Be the best person you can be and try (it's very hard) to stop comparing yourself. How can you be anything more than your best? Do it because its good for you or you enjoy it, not because you are awesome or not awesome at it.

I'm 48 and just took up kickboxing. Of course I am the least fit and the least capable fighter compared to everyone else in the gym but that is of no interest to me. I love kickboxing.
