Hi Hilda,
There's so much comfort and reassurance in that last quote by George Eliot. "It's never too late..." --> great words to always keep in mind, no matter what our age is. Hilda, I find this to be so true as I go through what feels like a re-make of my life journey - that's it's not too late is so, so good to read! Happy Monday!

Happy Monday Lance : )

Yep, never too late. Each day can be a new beginning if we so choose : )

Love this one: "It is never too late to be what you might have been." ~ George Eliot

It's not too late for me to become a well-known, influential author! Yay! There's hope! :)

Oh I love the surrender quote. It ties in with where I'm at in life right now. My mind is strong; stubbornly so, and it thinks it can get me to where I'm supposed to be. My heart knows better, though.

I like the first quote, too. There's another similar one that adds the word "insanity" to the mix. Reminds me of a lesson I learned a year ago along those lines. I'm such a creature of habit, and yet I say I want change in certain areas. Am I willing to abandon outdated ways of thinking & behaving though? If not and I still expect change, I'm insane. (smile)

Hi Dani,

no it's never too late ;-) And as for your writing goal, it's only a matter of time and you have buckets of that!

Hi Megan,

I know that quote, I think it's Albert Einstein: Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result - or something along those lines ;-)

Surrender is a lesson I'm learning these days too, and it's not always easy but when I do it, it only serves me well :-)

Sweet quote. We should definitely be more than what we are by doing something different. Its a pleasure to read your blog post.
