Devotional Snippet, Chapter 4:

You don’t have to be sixty or eighty years old to find yourself stuck in the quagmire of “should haves, could haves, would haves,” and to believe that it’s too late to follow your heart. As a 31-year-old single mom on welfare, J. K. Rowling must have surely had huge doubts as to whether she’d ever have a shot at being published. Harrison Ford was pounding nails as a carpenter till in his 30s. What was going through his head as the clock ticked? McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc sold paper cups and milkshake mixers till he was 52. Arianna Huffington started the Huffington Post at the age of 54. It doesn’t matter what your age is. You can be twenty and yet feel “too old” because you’re allowing other people to control you and determine your future. It’s a certain recipe for an unfulfilled and frustrated life. Whatever your age, shake off the regrets of yesterday and yesteryear and start with a new vision of who you can become. That’s actually good advice for every day!
