It is never too late

Sometimes, we make too many excuses to stop living certain experiences because it is “too late.” This, far from being adequate, can cause frustration. Find out more about it.

Time and its management are a highly subjective matter. Each culture, and even each person, tries to classify it into well-defined stages, but it is still impossible to do so.

How far does childhood go? Before they said that “the use of reason” was reached until the age of seven. Now we know that it can last up to 90 years, although the body does not know it.

Just as sometimes 10-year-olds appear asking transcendental questions about the world and its meaning, we also find 70-year-olds who get angry if someone denies them chocolate.

A few decades ago people in their 20s were ready to get married and start a home. Nowadays this is considered an outburst. If we consult what happens in reality we can only come to the conclusion that in truth It is never too early, nor too late for most experiences in life..

“Start over, the game is not over yet. Start again, don’t let the fire go out. There is still a long way to go. And that tomorrow will be a new day under the Sun. Start again”.

-Alejandro Lerner-

Routine and changes

That “Old parrot does not learn to talk” is surely valid for parrots, but not for human beings.

We are endowed with a brain with infinite possibilities. It is very true that it slows down with age, but it never becomes completely inefficient, except in death.

Many times our life does not correspond to what we really want it to be. It’s easy to get caught up in routine and the commitments, and to think that living is doing work, having a fairly happy family and having the occasional escape for fun.

Although most of us have dreamed of learning to play a musical instrument, or falling in love again, or taking an extraordinary trip, Sometimes we think that the time to realize those big dreams has already passed..

As long as the routine remains unchanged, we work more on keeping it intact than breaking it. But life is dynamic and sometimes, changes occur that we did not foresee.

An economic crisis comes and we lose our jobs. Our partner asks for a divorce or announces that he wants to move. Someone decisive for us dies or a new technology appears that leaves us illiterate.

These moments of change remind us that time is not a continuous, ascending line.. But they also evoke in us everything we could become or do when we see that the next page of our lives is completely blank.

We can always renew ourselves

The good thing about crises is that they force us to examine the different directions our lives can take. Sometimes, it is simply impossible to return to the lifestyle we used to lead, either because there is an external factor that prevents it, or because we feel that we cannot continue living as we have been doing.

In those moments of change is when a kind of wonderful madness that we have always carried inside can appear.. We then asked ourselves “why not?” Why not go find that person with whom we had a distance, but who still has an important place in our lives? Why not stop once and for all that job that seems invented by our worst enemy? Why not learn to play piano, as we so often dream of? Why not open our arms to a new love and look for it in environments hitherto unknown to us?

When it comes to renewing ourselves, the only important thing is to make the decision.

We tend to become more attached to the lifestyle we usually lead. It is difficult for us to believe that it is possible to live in a different way. We do not know how far we are capable of going when the flame of a new desire for change burns..

It is never too late to live, or to love, or to learn, or to dream.. In those areas we are eternally adolescents. There always lives the eternal brave adventurer that we all carry within us and who will go out to seek good fortune if we recognize that as long as we are alive, time belongs to us.
