Starting Late Vs. Starting Over — Why It’s Never Too Late To Do Either
A lot of us want to start life again.
We know so much more and think we would do so many things differently if we could.
Just having another chance to start would lead us to such a different life.
But what if we started now?
Wouldn’t starting something new now be the same as starting over with that new thing?
In that case, is starting late the same as starting over?
In a way the simple answer to this question is ‘Yes’. But, at the same time you are not really “starting” as you already have a lot of background experience and a lot of skills that you bring with you from the rest of your life.
If you used to be an engineer and then change to being a consultant, you are starting late as a consultant, but are bringing a lot of other skills with you that you learned while on your engineering path.
These skills can give you a huge advantage in that start.
It’s starting a new round at life with an advantage you didn’t have the first time around.
If you look at it that way, you are not really starting late, as you are not really “starting” at all.
