Never Too Late

Someone famous once said, a long time ago: "It is never too late to start doing what is right." Some of you may be thinking, "DO what is right? What the heck is the right thing to do in the first place?" The good news is that you "get" to decide what is right. Then, choose to do it, day by day, week by week, month by month...you get the picture. Choices are made in an instant. Habits and a new lifestyle are made over time.

Tired of making those doggone New Year's Resolutions? Good! Forget about resolving to do anything. Rather, simply choose to do it (or not do something probably bad for you). My own resolve to change my entire life came after I made the decision to change. Those first days and weeks were nothing short of hell. Out of shape, 60 lbs. overweight, chronically depressed, to name the biggies. My resolve took time to build and gain strength. Now, it is more powerful than a Ford Focus (my beloved automobile).

Take some time to dream, to envision, to create in your mind the life you have always imagined. Yes, you can create it. First, you have to "see" it. Second, redecide about who you are and what your life can actually look like. For example, I once believed that my life would no longer amount to anything. I thought my day in the sun had come and gone. Wrong! I began to envision how I could "show up" in the world in a powerfully different way. Although I could hardly ride my bike up a steep climb, I began to see and feel what that would be like. Sixteen months later, I can now DO what I could only dream about.

One more part to all this, and it may sound a little weird. Do you know, down deep, that you are not broken, there is nothing wrong with you and you do not need fixing? Until I got these truths in my whole being, there was no way I had the power to change my life for the good.

You can do it. I did.
