Whatever your dream is, it is not too late to achieve it.

You aren’t a failure because you haven’t found fame and fortune by the age of 40.

Hell, it’s okay if you don’t even know what your dream is yet.

Even if you’re flipping burgers, waiting tables or running a business that is not yet profitable,

you never know where you’ll end up tomorrow.

Never tell yourself you’re too old to make it.

Never tell yourself you missed your chance.

Never tell yourself that you aren’t good enough.

You can do it. Whatever it is.

Persist and you will Succeed.

You are doing better than you think you are.
