It's Never Too Late

How many times do we put things off? We make excuses to convince ourselves that it is okay to wait another day, days, weeks or longer. We often spend more time trying to justify the excuses than the time and effort it would take to make a decision. I have been guilty of postponing decisons or choices. A year ago this month, I made a life changing decision to eat healthier and exercise daily. High cholesterol was the major factor in my decison. In my opinion, I am too young to be on cholesterol meds and knew I didn't want to remain on that path any longer. So, I made a major change. It has not been easy but with lots of self discipline it is my new way of life. A better, healthier me makes life more enjoyable not only for myself but for my family. Remember IT IS NEVER TOO LATE! Whatever you are postpoing doing, don't delay any longer. It could be eating healthier, exercising, going back to college, changing jobs or reconnecting a relationship just to name a few.

I follow Joel Osteen on facebook. Recently he posted this quote, "There are times you will be given intuition, you just know something and you can't explain it. Don't override it. Don't talk youself out of it. That's the Creator giving you inside information." I think this quote can tie in with it's never too late. We talk ourselves out of making decisions or choices that we truly want to happen but delay. Is it because we are scared of what? what others may think? of failing?  Often we feel a burning desire within us that drives choices or decisions we make. Did you ever stop and think that the burning desire is the "inside information"? You will never know until you try (or decide) and if you don't try then you will always wonder "what if". Failing is not the end of the world but often we perceive it to be. Can't never did anything.  I am missing out on ______________ because I keep delaying. Fill in the blank according to your situation. Listen to your "inside information". Stand firm. Know IT'S NEVER TOO LATE.
