If you are 50, 40, 30, or 20 years old, no matter the age, it’s never to late to start Blogging. It is clearly better if you try , than regretting of not. So, hear me out and let’s see if you would be the new and ultimate blogger on internet. “It’s never to late to try.” You have probably heard this phrase several times in your life, haven’t you? Even though it is obvious it is something that we always need to remember.

Well, I’m going to use myself as an example. In summary, I chose a college that I never got to act on the professional market. Also, I realized that it’s not actually something I would like to work on. And, my biggest complication is that it was 4 years of study for nothing because it’s not something I would like to do or would be happy doing. I was lost at first for not knowing where or how to start again and which job that I would do to actually pay my bills. During quarantine, I started looking up things I would want to do for life and BOOM. I found it!

There was only one problem. I felt old, rusty and discouraged. At age of 23 with no job and no career, I was so behind. Then, I saw an instagram post that said: “It’s never to late.” This post saved me and gave me courage to start something new. Blogging and vlogging. Something, I actually enjoyed doing ever since I was 13.

Let me tell you a little about me. I am a Brazilian woman, lived 5 years in the United States and always had a journal with me since I was a teenager. I lived in Brazil most of my life which I had a supporting mother who every month only gained a minimum wage. That’s my reality! Never had much as a kid, never had much as a teen, but as an adult I would truely would like to change that reality.

Choosing the course you will take in college at the age of 16 or 17 (in Brazil) is not so appropriate because not everyone has the maturity to choose something that will be in theory their career for the rest of their lives. Even if you did choose a course at that age and now you are 20 something and changed your mind, that’s not a problem. It happens to dozens of people and that’s fine.

My mom always said to me: “You are not everybody.” Someone probably in your life already told you that once, you are not everybody. You don’t have to compare yourself with every human being that is your age and have money, cars and is successful. The life of the others belongs to the others. So focus on you, focus on your life and your choices. If you don’t focus on yourself, I’m sorry, but I have to say this, nobody is going to take chances for you nor live your life, no one is able to do what only you can do, live your life and take your chances.

If you are in an unhappy job or you want to do something that makes you happy, like working on internet. Start slow. I’m not telling you to quit your job, but to start looking for a job that can satisfy you. Eventually, it will be able to satisfy you financially and bring you relief and give you purpose. Remember, everything in life has steps and you are not getting rich by dawn. But, with effort you can get there.

If you can dream, why not try it? You can achieve, you can succeed, and in the middle of it all there will always be something you still need to learn. Keep looking for new things and try to learn more about yourself, too. It is important to know yourself and see what does you good or not.

Start now and start by getting to know yourself better, your limits, dreams, see what gives you pleasure, what you like to do, what will pay off more and contribute to your physical and mental health. Maybe it’s a dream that was born in your teens or something you discovered weeks ago.

The truth is that everyone is trying something and everyone is living in their own time, so you are not late, you are not a failure, you are not a victim and you are not a mistake. But if you can live a dream, don’t let obstacles stop you. Use the difficulties as an experience and know, your time will come.

Don’t be afraid to take chances, life is one and it goes by so fast. Never think that it is too late for you, it is never too late to start something. You can take a new course, look for a new job, create new goals. In summary, there is a world of possibilities for you. It will never be too late to (re) start something.

Remember: You can do it!
