You have heard variations of this all your life, and, while it may sound nice, it is not true.

In fact, the exact opposite is true.

It is too late to change anything.

What has happened as happened.

You cannot change that anymore.

Your life is what it is, you have made the mistakes you have made, you have wasted the time you wasted, you’ve hurt the people you’ve hurt and you failed wherever you failed.

None of that can change anymore now.

However, it is also untrue that it cannot change anymore going forward.

We assume when we failed that’s it.

The curtain falls, the door closes, the event is over, it is done and dealt with and there is no way to fix it.

But just because that one door closes doesn’t mean all paths to your goal disappear.

You went on a path and suddenly this big, dark, shadowy curtain fell straight on top of you.

It crushed you underneath, hurt you, maybe even left you scarred for life, but, guess what:

You’re still here.

This curtain did not kill you, the failure did not end your life.
