I’ve written about this topic briefly before, but one of the things I firmly believe is that it is never too late to do anything in life. So often I hear from people that they feel like they’ve messed up their lives and have wasted them. That they didn’t expect to be where they are at their age. They were expecting to have a more cookie-cutter life. Maybe that’s married with a house and a kid, maybe it’s being in the career they always dreamed about. Maybe it’s just the feeling of having a purpose that they are still struggling to find.
But that’s one of the beautiful things about life. We’re the ones who keep our own score. There’s no official rulebook to this thing. Eventually it will all click, maybe not when you expected, but rather when it should for you. Once it does fall in to place, the only thing standing in your way will be you. You will have a choice to let regret tell you that it’s too late, that if you had only started earlier in life you could have done the thing. Or, you can listen to the voice that knows that doesn’t matter, that you can’t change the past or get those years back, but that no matter what happens, 10 years from now, you will be 10 years older than you are today. When you are 10 years older, do you want to be the person that marvels at how far they have come, throwing everything they had into something? Or the person who wonders where another 10 years have gone?
As sure as the sun will rise, life goes on, with or without us. Everything in our lives, good and bad, has made us who we are today. No matter how long it takes, just remember, it is never to late to be who you want to be.
