Better late then never….wouldn’t you say? Maybe I think too much or just want too much to be different. Maybe I have too much hope or see what no one else chooses to see. Do you believe that it is too late? That nothing can be done? NOTHING? Maybe it’s time to let go and move on. Maybe a small task can lead to a great accomplishment. Ever believe that something could change in you and therefore create change in someone else? I didn’t believe it either. But changing can happen at anytime. It can be something little…something so little that no one even sees it. Maybe it starts out slow and as you crawl along, you begin to believe in the change that you feel and your stride becomes something like a skip. Are you ever too old to skip? No, better late than never. Change never comes without a price. But the price you pay is only never worth it when you are no longer willing to pay it. But the best kind of change is where people grow and become even better than they were before. Maybe it’s time to try something different. Ever wanted to try something new but been afraid to do so? Have you let the fear of failure lead you down a path you would rather not travel? I spoke with someone who has lost a lot in her life, including time with her family, friendships she thought she would have forever, and had felt isolated from life. But today, she was excited about new opportunities that seem to be showing up — she never sought them but they seem to beckon to her. And her enthusiasm for the changes in her life make her happy and bring her joy. The other day, I asked another friend if she was happy and she avoided the question. Funny how she is quick to ask me questions, but doesn’t like it when I ask her those hard questions and how this seems so familiar to me. Think it’s time to change yet? Be ambitious about what you want to change and go after it. There are going to be times when it is tough and you have no idea how you are going to get through it. You are going to want to give up and let it be. Maybe you just want things to go back to the way they were. But time stops for no one and change is inevitable. This is the constant of life as we know it. That will NEVER change. Maybe if you are willing to share more of you with the rest of us, you will allow us to do the same. Maybe no one sees life the way I do, but maybe they want to. Maybe this is a start — so you tip toe a little, just enough to gather the courage to change. And before you know it, you will laugh when you say, “Better late than never!” So, maybe can change everything… “Maybe” by Sick Puppies
