What life lesson did you learn too late?
I didn’t learn anything too late. I do believe I am where I am suppose to be. My children are what make that belief concrete.
However what I will say is I do wish in a way the confidence I have now, I do wish I had more of it when I was younger.
It’s easy to think, hmm where would I be if I was more confident back then but the thing is if I was more confident back then I wouldn’t be where I am now.
As much as we want to change some things in our past, in hindsight you really wouldn’t. Because one alteration would shift your whole trajectory and maybe someone else’s that you love.
Let me provide an example. There’s a movie called About Time , such a great cute movie by the way I highly recommend it, especially if you have kids.
Anyways, the main character is a time traveler. Long story short his sister gets into a really bad car accident and he goes back in time to save her from that accident. The thing though, when he comes back to the present time he has a completely different child than he did before.
He realizes in that moment he has to let the car accident happen to his sister.
Do you see?! Ponder that! It’s so deep!
Where you are right now, is where you are right now and ultimately you have to trust it. You didn’t learn anything too late. You are where you are needed to be right now, maybe it’s not what you want. But it’s where you are needed. Trust that.
