George Eliot has said,

It's never too late to be what you might have been.

And this is a message that I 100% stand behind.

I will always believe that to be true.

Why?

Because you always have the now to start moving in that direction.

And a skeptic or someone playing devil's advocate could say, yeah, well, not me, right? The timeline

for me has expired. Or I missed the age requirement. Maybe life circumstances have made plan A impossible.

It is quite literally too late. Okay. But here's what I believe we frequently misunderstand in this

department. I think we misidentify what it is we really want.

And sure, that sounds presumptuous for me to sit here and imply that maybe you miss the mark, right?

How would I ever know what you want?

Well, hear me out.

Because I think too often we confuse the vehicle for the destination. That thing we thought we wanted, in actuality, wasn't really what mattered to us.

We wanted where it would bring us.

We wanted how it would make us feel.

We wanted what we'd become when we engaged in that thing.

That thing was simply the ride to the destination, not the destination itself.

And that's incredible news.

Because vehicles are interchangeable. It's always possible to find a new route or new ride to this show. And this is why self-reflection is so important.

Because it's easy to get so caught up in the vehicle that we forget where

we're going. For example, I get a ton of inquiries about keynote speaking, and that's fantastic.
