Welcome to the Daily Stood Podcast where each day we bring you a passage of ancient wisdom designed to help you find strength, insight, and wisdom every day life.

Each one of these passages is based on the 2000-year-old philosophy that has guided some of history's greatest men and women. For more you can visit us at DailyStood.com.

You still have time. We talked about it a while back, that one of the most inspiring lessons from Senuka's life is that it's not too late for anyone.

This was a man who lost his twenties to illness, who lost close to a decade of his life to exile, and then in old age was forced into a painful retirement which he turned into one of the most productive writing sprints of all time.

Well, it happens that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow has a poem about this very idea that no matter what has happened, no matter who we are, there is still time to become a better person or to do our best work.

In fact, this beautiful poem was written when Longfellow himself was quite old and well into the decline that every person experiences as they age and celebrating the 50th anniversary of his college graduation.

It is not too late. He writes, ah, nothing is too late. Till the tired heart shall cease to palpitate, Kato learned Greek at 80, Sophocles wrote his grand edipis, and Simone dees bore off the prize of verse from his computer.

When each had numbered more than four score years, and Theofaste's at four score and ten had but begun his characters of men, Chaucer at Woodstock with the Nightingales at 60 wrote the Cantorbury Tales,

Gerta at Weermar, Toiling to the Last Completed Fouced when 80 years were passed. These are indeed exceptions, but they show how far the Gulf Stream of our youth may flow into the Arctic region of our lives where little else then life itself survives.

The point is, Estoic doesn't give up. Estoic doesn't resign themselves to lower standards or expect less of themselves. Estoic doesn't ever really grow old because they refuse to accept that limitation.

Instead, they remain active. They push themselves. They keep their minds sharp. No matter how old you are, this attitude would serve you well. There is no time like the present. It is not too late.

The Gulf Stream of Youth is still strong in you if you choose to let it be. Keep yourself young. Don't let yourself harden. It's not too late. Nothing is too late if you choose to see it that way. You still have time. So much time.
