Is it Ever Too Late...

Do you ever feel like it is too late? You learned a lesson, but you learned it too late? Is it really though? ... too late? Maybe too late for what you wanted it to be for - but then what about ALL the ways in life that lesson helps you down the road? Maybe it isn’t always for what we think we want it for... Maybe you learned a lesson with a person - but it was too late to salvage that relationship.... Sad, perhaps, but think of how many relationships it will help you create when the timing is right? What if you learned a lesson at a job - but you already lost that job? What about the jobs it is preparing you for in the future? What about with your health? IF you are still alive and ticking - even if you are sick - I am guessing it really wasn’t too too late... I’m not saying it wouldn’t hurt for us to sometimes learn a lesson a little sooner - it could save us heartache, it could prevent an overwhelm of stress, it could mend a friendship, it could prevent a disease... but at the end of the day - while we strive as much as possible to learn a lesson in the ‘right’ time, sometimes it still happens ‘late’ ... and the best thing we can do  is grow from it, develop character from it, learn from it, and apply it starting now - when you learn it. Don’t get stuck dwelling on what has already become past, beating yourself up for what you could have done, or how it could have been, or what you didn’t do - when you can focus on today and what you are simply going to do now.
