Is it ever to late?

Lately I find that I ask myself this question more and more. Is it ever to late? As a youth you sometimes never really weigh the consequences of your actions until that day that it's to late. You are given so many second chances growing up that you never realize one day they will come to an end. Then you find yourself as an adult looking at your children wondering if it is to late to change your ways and become someone better for them. You wonder whether or not they will go down the same path as you did. You try to teach them right from wrong but everyone has their own path that they must take on their quest to adulthood. Is it ever to late to change our course of life or are we predestined to achieve but so much? You find yourself working countless hours everyday or not being able to find work at all and you take a step back and wonder did I run out of second chances? hopefully the answer is NO maybe it's just a bump in the road. maybe there's something better coming your way. Or maybe...... It is just to late.

With life, there are often periods when sentences are not complete, this is how we can view our opportunities for second chances. We must realize that "second chances" are one of the many cliches that are thrown at us, which we often become accustomed to. "Second chances" do not always come as limited elements. Within ourselves, we must drive, motivate, and become determined to the point where we do not doubt what lies ahead, for we truly are the decision makers. We can create millions of chances for ourselves. The possibilities are endless! But as human nature goes, often we underestimate what we are capable of because after all, none of us are perfect. We tend to depict what we are told is "the good life" by what we view on television, in movies, and through personal experiences, but in reality, we can only come to the final destination of "second chances" once we place the limit on ourselves. What we choose or have to plan to choose as our paths may not always make everyone happy, but we must remember, our lives may have already been predetermined, and the situations are learning points.We may feel as though the world is against us at times, and also that we are on top of the world with success just a blink away, but it will be our mindframe and our decision to decide which way we perceive what goes on. Self-gratification will come to us only when we as individuals become fulfilled with the decisions we make and the goals we set. Our children will see no evil in what we do, for their innocence is beyond what we can only wish to remember, since we are adults now. Motivating them, encouraging their progress during their upbringing will be our great deed. Remember, not everyone has parents who care as much to ponder on such questions. For this I say, you deserve to feel proud for your questioning. Being a parent is a "second chance" at life. Eyes open wider, knowledge builds further, and your heart expands to boundaries unexplainable. For this we can then see, "second chances" NEVER run out!
