About this episode
Isn't it so hard to hear from someone and they ask you if you have missed the boat already. You start to have doubt in your heart and feel disappointed. You have second thoughts about your decisions in life and many regrets. It feels like you haven’t played your cards right and you might have pointed your fingers at anyone just to hide away your failures. You feel brought-down because it’s too late to fix anything. You feel that you’re such a wussy and you always pooped out whenever you gave it a go and tried something new. But hey, don’t be disheartened by people who fool around and ask such a question. What does it really mean when they say you missed the boat? Is the boat even a real thing? Time flies, that's true, but when you’ve wised up, you always have enough time left to change the course. I’m sure you’ll have it all together. Take Jeff Olson’s advice when he says: “it’s never too late to start. It’s always too late to wait”. Be careful which questions you answer because some of them may lead you to a black hole of negativity. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/support
