Do you ever feel like it’s too late for you? Do you feel like you let too much time pass and you’re just stuck in your life forever? Well, you’re not.

It’s not too late for you to turn things around. Today I wanted to share four things you can do at any time to improve your life.

Start something new

Grand Ma Moses was 76 when she painted her first canvas.

Julia Child was 49 when she published her first cookbook.

They didn’t let age or lack of opportunity stop them from doing something new.

I took up painting last year. I am not very good at it. But it’s fun and calms me and I love it.

Open a Roth IRA

I finally started investing this year. Is it too late for me? Nope. We have invested in my husband’s retirement for years. But I wanted to invest in my own. So I opened a Roth IRA. It was so easy and I am a little ashamed I didn’t do it sooner.

Apologize for something you did

Maybe you hurt someone. Maybe years have passed. Maybe it eats away at you and you think that person will never forgive you. Maybe they won’t. But apologizing when you know you’re wrong will lift a huge weight off your shoulders. Send a letter, pick up the phone. Drive to their house. Apologize.

And if you’re on the other end of this- forgive. Even if that person never apologizes to you, give yourself the gift of letting it go, find healing and move forward.

Change your opinion

My mind has been changed on so many things. Things I held onto for years because they were so closely held. Opinions that I thought shaped my identity. And then I changed my mind. That’s okay. You’re allowed to change your opinion. You’re allowed to change your mind. You’re allowed to change.
