Is it too late for me to achieve something worthwhile?

What a brilliant answer.

Thanks for sharing this

It's not too late for you to read the complete works of Shakespeare; learn how to program computers; learn to dance; travel around the world; go to therapy; become an accomplished cook; sky dive; develop an appreciation for jazz; write a novel; get an advanced degree; save for your old age; read "In Search of Lost Time"; become a Christian, then an atheist, then a Scientologist; break a few bones; learn how to fix a toilet; develop a six-pack ...

Tell me, what do You think about this?

If we could all think from that part of our brain all of the time, we would achieve a lot more.

Its never to late! If we wake up each day realizing that the slate is clean and opportunity is ready to be seized and can be made what we want then we will realize that we can make something of ourselves as ling as we start today.

That response is actually really nice.

Other examples are Colonel Sanders succeeding with KFC and Warren Buffett becoming wealthy after they turned 60+.

It's never too late... unless you believe it is and act that way.

It seems that pulling things from Quora is becoming very popular on Warrior Forum (I know the original source, look it up on Quora, there are a few very good replies there).

No, it is never too late to achieve something. At my gym, there was a gentleman in his 70s or 80s, doing weight training. I'm rather young and fit and he gave me a run for my money. His mobility wasn't really top notch and his reflexes were a bit slow but he always stayed until the end.

I was usually four days per week in the gym and I saw him there every single time.

HOWEVER ...

Let's just be honest. Most people won't achieve much in life. Not because it is not possible, it is. But because most people are lazy *******s.

In the past, the average American used to watch TV eight hours a day. Now it may not be TV but YouTube. There was a survey about book readership and 74% of all the survey group read one or zero books in that given year. I will make a safe assumption that the book wasn't in Search of Lost Time which actually takes at least a few months to read.

There are few ambitious people out there who want to change something. Most will simply bitch and complain and blame anyone but themselves for their failure.

And usually people who failed to achieve something by a certain age, developed some really negative habits. Therefore, it is not that they can't achieve, it is that they've programmed themselves to fail. In life, like in the entire universe, momentum tends to be preserved. If you start in the right manner, you are likely to keep going this way. If you've started the other way, it requires a rather substantial effort to change directions.

This happens but for every lazy ******* who become a super achiever, there are 19 who are watching reruns of Seinfield.

For every guy at the gym who came every single day or at least, came a few times a week, there were at least seven who didn't. I know because I've actually asked someone in the sales department of the gym. For every single person who is taking action in IM, there are at least nine who will hope that they will take action, someday, tomorrow, but never today.

For every person that sets a NY resolution and sticks with it, there are a dozen who don't. And you know what's the irony? The person who sticks is the person that usually stuck with other things in the past too. The cases of someone to go from a complete failure of character (of character, not circumstance, will develop in a minute) to a complete success are very rare.

Now, you're going to tell me "but look, there is this guy who was dirt poor and made millions". I've said failure of character. Many successful people started at a rather low level. However, they were hard working at $5/hour before being hard working at $5.000.000 per year. They were doing their best before getting there, even if their results were not that impressive.

So sorry to burst your bubble but this is the true. Most people don't want to change. It is possible to become an astronaut if you want, but this doesn't mean that many people will put in the effort to get there.

For who is wondering, the word censored was "b a s t a r d" ...

Good stuff, let's keep rolling.

that is a great answer OP. I still have doubts if it is real because the source link is down and it comes from a meme sites so i dont know if its legit or not.

Do you watch the visuals or listen to the tune? Well it depends on your personal enculturation. The images you see in this world are just thoughts that manifested from previous eras, hence why you can see the future at least you did once upon a time but can't recall it because of the myriads of thoughts that slip in your mind.

The visuals are here to show you what's in your soul once you see past the dragons, fairies and portray what lays hidden in your subconscious mind... thoughts sit between your mind and your soul. That lurk beneath the seamless layer of logic transcendental to the experiences you're living at this given moment and once you realize that nothing is good or bad the instant your mind is made to be limitless.

The third eye is the portal to your soul and once you awaken, you'll know the existential cause of your supreme being.

Good statement on this.

It's not to late to set new goals and achieve something worthwhile.
