It's Never Too Late

“It’s never too late to be what you might have been.” - George Eliot

“It’s never too late to change the road that you’re on.” - Samantha Young

I was thinking about what to write this week.

It’s funny, every week I write down some notes here and there about what I want to write about for the Sunday newsletter.

I usually have some pretty good notes by the end of the week that give me a few options for what I could write about.

However, when Saturday morning comes around and it times to write the newsletter for Sunday, I never go with the notes I have from the week.

When I sit down on Saturday morning (like I am right now) to write, I go with what’s on my heart.

What’s on my heart are things that I’ve thought about during the week, or things that have happened to me during the week that spark a thought.

What’s on my heart is the thing that I feel people need to hear the most this week.

However, the inspiration always comes to me Saturday morning and that’s what I go with.

Today, I was thinking about what to write about and it came to me just now.

I’m 44 years old.

That doesn’t matter much.

Age is just a number, and I feel physically and mentally better than I ever have in my life.

So why mention age then Mark (here it comes)?

I mention age because I felt like it was too late for me when I decided to start my healing journey a few years ago.

I felt like it was too late for me when I decided to start a coaching business (just last year).

I focused on all the time I wasted during those 20 years when I was at my worst struggling with my trauma.

I thought it was too late to repair relationships in my life.

When you start thinking it’s too late to do anything in life, it’s a fu*king lie.

It’s a fu*king lie from the devil himself.

It’s another way to deny you the happiness you deserve to experience while you’re here.

It’s another way to make excuses for yourself to stay where you’re at and not face your fears.

I don’t care how old you are, it’s no way to live if you’re suffering today and have a desire to change.

I’ll tell you this right now; I don’t care how old you are or how much time you have left, just starting your healing journey, just experiencing a moment of joy, is worth it every day of the week.

It’s always going to be worth it.

You must stop focusing on how long you’ve been suffering.

You must stop focusing on how long you’ve been depressed, hopeless, angry, suicidal, etc., and start focusing on the vision you have for your future.

You must focus on that vision you have of being healed and whole again.

You must focus on that vision of what life can be like for you if you just take that first step today and stop believing those lies that it’s too late.

For so many years, I felt like a failure.

I would try to heal, fail, and continuously tell myself that I can’t do it and that I’m just meant to be this way.

I would constantly tell myself that I’ll never be able to change or be who I want to be.

Deep down I knew who I wanted to be in life.

It was in there, but it was buried beneath all the shit that I was carrying because of what the sexual abuse did to me in the past.

It almost won; it almost beat me.

I finally said “fu*k that,” it’s not going to win and I’m going to start fighting back.

I finally got pissed off enough to do something about it.

To do something real this time and push through no matter what.

I’m telling you right now, you have this in you as well.

You are so much stronger than you think you are.

If you’ve suffered trauma in your life, if you’re still here today, you’re strong as fu*k.

Many don’t make it this far in life.

Many will give into the trauma and take their own life.

It’s the saddest thing to see and hear about, but you’re still here today and you’re here today for a reason.

You have a purpose to fulfill, and you must find out what that is.

So, when you start focusing on how much time you’ve wasted in your life because of your trauma, when you start focusing on how old you are and that it’s too late to make anything out of your life, just stop, it’s bullshit.

It’s just another way to stay where you’re at, to stay comfortable where you are and not face what’s holding you back.

It’s time to break free today and start living the life you were meant to live.

It starts today, by taking one small step today towards your healing.

That’s all it takes, one small step.

I don’t say this lightly, but if I can do it, I know you can do it.

I wish I could show you where I came from, I wish I could show you how bad my mindset was, I wish I could show you how defeated I was because it was bad.

Now, I’m here today helping others get through their struggles.

I’m here today sharing my story.

I’m stronger than ever and finally fulfilling my purpose.

You have the same thing in you, I promise.

It’s in there, you just have to take that first step and stop believing the bullshit lies.

Stay positive and take action!
