It is never too late

It is never too late

Life is a series of events and our responses to it. We may respond actively to these or we may passively ignore them. No matter what, it is these events and our responses to them that determine the net results in our life. Then, there are the assessments and valuations of our achievements in life too. We all have dreams and these assessments are based on how far we have gone in reaching the dreams. And then comes the real possibility of us changing our priorities and thus changing the very shape of our dreams. And finally we associate these achievements with our age, time lost and what we assume, we have left.
As the saying goes, “age is just a number,” and it’s actually just a measurement of time lived. We often associate our age as a timeline for our goals. It’s when our goals aren’t met that the instant feeling of failure comes trickling in. The essence of time is not to be used as a set goal but instead as a guideline. Life happens simultaneously and at a different pace for everyone around you. There’s a huge difference between getting distracted by life’s misfortunes and letting those moments define you versus becoming aware of them and finding an alternative route.
There is always the comparison of Time vs. Money. Our reckoning of the money value of our time is often of your own making. We want to reach a financial level that matches our dreams. And when we don’t necessarily match up, we feel disheartened and even use this very shortage as an excuse for doing nothing. In fact most we forget that opportunities are in fact more important than the abundance of money. We often let money dictate the way we live our lives and often let money dictate the way we live our lives.
Another excuse we find for inaction the one of time lost. I had an opportunity once upon a time is a quote that we have heard every so often. This is probably an excuse or way to avoid doing anything now. Starting tomorrow is an even greater setback, and by pushing your personal goals to the side, you are subconsciously letting your brain know that it’s not of importance. Your goals always matter and hold value. It surely helps if you look and see if it’s a particular habit that is preventing you from going forward with your goals or reflect on where you are spending most of your time.
The best way through this self-created trap is to start “today”. Start small and build. You can never never build from the top downwards.
