It's Not Too Late

It's Not Too Late!

Sometimes you may feel that you missed an opportunity. You may feel you are too old, or maybe not old and experienced enough.

However, as long as you have a breath left in your body, it's not too late to pursue your passion, despite the economy, or job market. That's why you are still on the planet.

What is your passion? What would you most like to do if you didn't have to think of finances? What moves your soul?

Often the things we love to do, we discount because we feel that we have to make a living, so we let the dream die. Ironically, when you can do the things you love, the money will follow. That is, if you believe.

Ask your Higher Self, "What can I do to work on my dream even if I have to go to work everyday."

Maybe it entails paying yourself first, before you go to work, get up earlier and write down your plan, your dreams, your goals. This may mean skipping your favorite television show and go to bed earlier so you can get up and plan your dream.

But, remember, those folks you are watching on television or You Tube, most already have their dream. Find yours.

And if you "think" you failed before, that's just what you called it, a failure. Maybe it was simply experience, or not the right way. Try again. Whatever the case, never, ever give up.

These people didn't:

R. H. Macy failed seven times before his store in New York City caught on.
F. W. Woolworth: Some may not know this name today, but Woolworth was once one of the biggest names in department stores in the U.S. Before starting his own business, young Woolworth worked at a dry goods store and was not allowed to wait on customers because his boss said he lacked the sense needed to do so.
Soichiro Honda: The billion-dollar business that is Honda began with a series of failures and fortunate turns of luck. Honda was turned down by Toyota Motor Corporation for a job after interviewing for a job as an engineer, leaving him jobless for quite some time. He started making scooters of his own at home, and spurred on by his neighbors, finally started his own business.
Akio Morita: You may not have heard of Morita but you've undoubtedly heard of his company, Sony. Sony's first product was a rice cooker that unfortunately didn't cook rice so much as burn it, selling less than 100 units. This first setback didn't stop Morita and his partners as they pushed forward to create a multi-billion dollar company.
Bill Gates: Gates didn't seem like a shoe-in for success after dropping out of Harvard and starting a failed first business with Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen called Traf-O-Data. While this early idea didn't work, Gates' later work did, creating the global empire that is Microsoft.
Harland David Sanders: Perhaps better known as Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame, Sanders had a hard time selling his chicken at first. In fact, his famous secret chicken recipe was rejected 1,009 times before a restaurant accepted it.
Albert Einstein did not speak until he was 4-years-old and did not read until he was 7. His parents thought he was "sub-normal," and one of his teachers described him as "mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in foolish dreams." He was expelled from school and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School. He did eventually learn to speak and read. Even to do a little math
.
Louis Pasteur was only a mediocre pupil in undergraduate
studies and ranked 15th out of 22 students in chemistry.
Henry Ford failed and went broke five times before he succeeded.
F. W. Woolworth was not allowed to wait on customers when he worked in a dry goods store because, his boss said, "he didn't have enough sense."
When Bell telephone was struggling to get started, its owners offered all their rights to Western Union for $100,000. The offer was disdainfully rejected with the pronouncement, "What use could this company make of an electrical toy."

Sigmund Freud was booed from the podium when he first presented his ideas to the scientific community of Europe. He returned to his office and kept on writing.
Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." He went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland. In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim on the grounds that it would only attract riffraff.
