Never Too Late: Overcoming Late Start Feelings to Achieve Your Dreams

Some people may feel like they’ve missed their golden opportunity to chase their dreams, but as we often say, 'It's never too late.' Here's a personal story that shows how turning points in life can lead to unexpected journeys of fulfillment and success.

A Challenge Through the Ages

At the age of 60, things seemed to be spiraling downhill for me. I was laid off after 20 years of employment, my young wife divorced me and took custody of our 3-year-old twins. My financial situation was also dire; a mortgage on a 4-bedroom home was upside down, leading to a tough decision to give the property to my wife upon the divorce in the aftermath of the 2008 US mortgage crisis. Yet, against all odds, I turned my life around and found new beginnings at Apple as a senior tech contributor. Today, I live a simple life alone by choice, I love my work, and I'm now a multi-millionaire. My relationship with my adult twins is also fantastic, with both pursuing higher education in Florida.

Leila's Insight: Holding On to Your Dream

Leila: 'You still have a pulse, therefore it is still possible! So long as you never lose sight of this dream, why would it have to end? Realizing your dreams does not care about your age. If your pursuit is true and you keep it strong then as the saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."'

Understanding the Power of Thoughts and Feelings

Ultimately, our thoughts and feelings can be powerful tools for either pushing us forward or holding us back. Our minds are complex machines with electrical impulses and chemical mixtures that either facilitate or hinder our actions. When we take time to understand our feelings, we can decide better how to move past them. Our feelings are like storm clouds; focusing on them can overwhelm us and prevent action, while letting them pass can leave us free to pursue our goals.

Embracing the Journey: A Path to Success

Remember, you are an eternal being and learning never stops. Keep growing and stay positive. All of your dreams will come true in a much better place than your current situation. Your brain is a highly sophisticated machine designed to keep you alive, but it doesn't have to control you. You have the power to choose how you react to your feelings and thoughts. If you feel like it's too late for success, remember that an online search can show countless examples of people who overcame late starts to achieve their dreams.
