"It's only too late if you're dead. If you're not, you've still got time. If you're still breathing, there's still time to change your life."
Recently, this quote appeared on my Instagram timeline, and it struck me with how honest and true it really is, yet most people don't even realize the truth behind the quote. If you are still breathing, you have so much ahead of you and you can accomplish so much, but people never truly understand this.
People let their pride, ego or other people's opinions of them get in the way of what they really want, and that is never how one should live their life. You should be living your life for you and what makes you happy. You should be living your life according to God's plan, not some plan of what will give you the most money or who will take the cutest pictures with you.
Along with making decisions, it's never too late to go back and redo something that has happened in your life. Whether you made a mistake or you want to try something you enjoyed again, there is always time life to do whatever you want to do.
During my first semester of college, I thought I wanted to major in pre-physical therapy. I thought I loved science and even after shadowing a physical therapist, I believed that this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I think I was more surprised than anyone else when I finally realized that I didn't want to pursue that degree anymore. I changed my major and I have never been happier.
My future is full of endless possibilities, and I can't help but think about where I would be if I hadn't changed my major. It took me a while to realize it, but I have so much time left in my life, and I want to spend it doing something I enjoy and being with the people who make me happy. I almost didn't change my major because I felt like I was giving up and looking back I would hate to have missed out on so many amazing opportunities because of my pride.
Most people believe that if they have made a choice in their life, then it is too late to go back and change their mind. They let their pride get in the way and don't do what deep down they know they want to do. Life is too short to not do what you want to do. If you want to change your major or call that person and ask them out on a date, do it.
Do what makes you happy and don't worry about anyone else or what the people around you might think. You still have time to be or become whoever you want to be, and life isn't slowing down to wait for you to make up your mind.
While life is short, it is also full of endless possibilities. I was always raised to believe that anyone can reach their goals or become whoever they want to be as they work hard and do everything they can. So change your major, change schools, call that person you want to be with and do something about the change you want to see in your life.
It's never too late to be whoever you want to be and it's never too late to fix who you used to be. Life is full of endless possibilities, and if you're reading this you're still breathing. So do what you thought you couldn't and change your life for the better.
