It's never too late

Bonus Episode: It's Never Too Late

Welcome my friends to this special Bonus Episode of Motivational Moments with Maria.

Truth be told. I wasn't planning on recording this episode.

In fact, I already had the next few episodes mapped out.

But something happened this week that I simply couldn't stop thinking about.

And when that happens, I know there's a lesson worth sharing.

Let me start with a question.

Have you ever convinced yourself that you missed your chance?

Maybe your chance to start the business.

Maybe your chance to write the book.

Maybe your chance to go back to school.

Maybe your chance to find love.

Maybe your chance to follow a dream you've carried in your heart for years.

Have you ever thought:

"If it was going to happen, it would have happened by now."

My friends, today I want to challenge that thought.

Because the message I keep seeing all around me this week is simple:

It's Never Too Late.

A Million People Needed This Message

Recently, my team and I shared a social media post about a World Cup goalkeeper from Cape Verde, VOZINYA. 

Now, I'm not here to talk about soccer.

I'm here to talk about possibility.

This athlete stood on one of the biggest stages in the world.

At 40 years old.

Competing against one of the most talented teams on the planet.

Many athletes have already retired by that age.

Many people would assume their best days are behind them.

Yet there he was.

Showing up.

Competing.

Believing.

Refusing to let age determine what was possible.

The message we placed on that video was simple:

It's Never Too Late.

And something amazing happened.

Over one.one million people watched it.

One.one million.

And I don't think they were watching because of soccer.

I think they were watching because they wanted proof.

Proof that possibility still exists.

Proof that dreams still matter.

Proof that age doesn't get the final vote. 

Listen in for some insight.
