As the late great British novelist C.S. Lewis once said, " You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream." I totally concur. Whether you want to switch careers at 40, make new friends at 50, or travel the world at 60, your age should not hinder you from striving to achieve goals big and small. I've read success stories about senior citizens starting new businesses, skydiving, finding love, and achieving other impressive feats. We can't assume that they didn't at least try to accomplish these things earlier in life. Maybe it just wasn't in the cards for them at that juncture, or it took a few repeated attempts before things worked out. These individuals inspire younger generations to pursue their passions at full throttle. Their remarkable achievements send a clear message: That it's better late than never.

Never feel as though you're beneath anyone else. You deserve happiness and success as much as the next person. But success doesn't simply come knocking at your door. You have to work hard in order to enjoy the fruits of achievement. Me...

Happy Friday, y'all!  I wanted to get everyone's day off to a good start with the quote below. What does it mean to you? "The starting point of all achievement is desire." - Napoleon Hill To me, this quote is awfully simple. Hill is saying that you can't be successful in life unless you're truly passionate about whatever it is you decide to venture into, whether for work or leisure. This is precisely why I advise people against going into a field solely on the basis of money. Yes, making good coin is important, but money holds your interest only up to a certain point. If you're not intensely passionate about your work, you'll feel as though you're merely spinning your wheels for a paycheck.
