There is a point in our lives when we may think that we should have started something important much earlier in our lives but in fact we didn’t. We may be right in thinking it this way and expressing regret for being too late, however the fact that we know how wrong we were compensates for the loss. However, you should never give up making a decision to do something that you think is good and that will serve you better later in life. Because you never know when time will run out; maybe time didn’t seem to be the key for you yet, but you can still make it when you start now. It’s never too late to give it a shot, because the opportunity to start remains with you as long as you are alive.
The general mental belief of most people is that time has already passed and it's too late to make any changes in their lives. How can one honestly tell if they can or can't achieve success unless they try? No one really has to start at the same time or at the same pace. No two people can start and end sooner for the same reason. What counts is that once you finally have the desire to start you start doing things the proper way, and that is what counts in the end.
We have been told that if we don’t start something at the same time as everyone else, and when we do, you fall way behind, it is not worth the effort. So many people think it’s impossible to do a job because they don’t start it early enough, and that, on its own, makes them want to give up instead of move forward. A task that seems quite difficult might not be all that difficult after all, but you never know until you try it. You can’t overcome the fear of never doing anything unless you try.
In most times, you hear people say: " that 's not my cup of tea! " Yet when you don 't put your foot down, how do you know if it 's your cup of tea or not? Successful people are those who had the guts to battle against adversity. A brave person is someone who takes the risk to start doing something they've always wanted to do even if it 's late.
If I had believed time passed me by, I would not be where I am today. I lost both my parents early in life and I don't have a sponsor to cover my tuition expenses to start college. This lack of sponsorship cost me three years in my college journey, and by the time I finally started, those people I considered my age mates were already graduating. However, I didn't let the feeling of time that pass me by stopped me and the advantage of that decision helped me become who I am now, and the writer and blogger I am today.
The Hare and the Tortoise is a great analogy of my own story. The Tortoise might be slow and slothful, but with determination, he still manages to complete the race. It isn't actually the amount of time spent that matters, but the attitude and determination that goes into it. I see so many people losing interest in their goals because they think time has slipped away, but consistency has everything to do with it. Any idea you have should be something that you are willing to put time and energy into. Commitment is a start with one small step.
It's simply not about what other people think about you. Great people never put their dreams on hold because a bad comment was made against them. Success is a personal journey that you take on your own in order to complete small milestones on your own terms. So don't let what other people say effect you too much. As long as you don't backtrack and allow anyone to stand in your way of accomplishing what you want, you will reach your dreams. Nobody can really help you achieve what you want, you need to help yourself. So keep on looking at what you want without taking a step back, then you will begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
You can say we sometimes have a hard time giving our best. We try our best, but when time passes beyond our expectation we lose sight of the task at hand. We still thank God for one thing, and that is life and opportunity.
Better late than never. There's no fixed time to start something worthwhile. The best time to start something meaningful is when you start taking it seriously. Time and tide wait for no man, so do the best you can, however late it might seem. You're the one who decides what happens to you. It's either you get there or you die trying.
