It is always too early to decide that it’s too late.” -Unknown
I remember reading the above quote on the Facebook page of one of my favorite blogs, and ever since then, I cannot stop thinking about it.
In life, it is far too common for people to believe deeply in the myth of “too late.” Maybe you’ve believed in it too. I know that I used to believe in it at one time.
Be honest with yourself, have you ever said or thought any of the following things?
It’s too late to completely change careers.
It’s too late to start a new diet and/or exercise program.
It’s too late to fix my credit.
It’s too late to get a college degree.
It’s too late to tell (insert person here) that I’m sorry.
It’s too late to write a book.
It’s too late to find true love.
It’s too late to move to a new city with warmer weather.
It’s too late to learn a foreign language.
It’s too late to start my own business and be my own boss.
It’s too late for me to be a better mother/father to my kids.
It’s too late to stand up to my coworker who is making my work life a living hell.
It’s too late to leave my significant other.
It’s too late to travel the world.
It’s too late to make any meaningful changes in my life.
It’s too late to have a bigger impact on the world.
It’s too late to be happy.
If so, stop it.
It is never too late for you. Yeah, I said it. Never.
In the words below, it’s my hope that you’ll see exactly why that is true.
