It’s never too late to become the person you wanted to be.George Eliot
Have you ever wanted to do something but given up because you think you’re too old? For anyone who feels that way, I offer these words from the novelist George Eliot: It is never too late to be what you might have been, and never too late to want to do something.
People can challenge themselves, learn, and reinvent themselves at any age.
What matters most is the will—the desire to become and to do.
Don’t worry about your age; go ahead and pursue what you want to do!
When you are given a dream, you are always given the power to make it come true. But to do so, you must put in the effort.Richard Bach
Richard Bach, the aviator also known as the author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, has a quote befitting an adventurer.
The moment you have a dream and believe you are given the power to realize it, you can feel a strong surge of motivation.
And then comes the reminder that effort is necessary as well.
It’s so true that there’s no room for argument.
Whatever it is, having a dream—while understanding that it won’t come true without effort—can help you live life with a positive outlook.
It doesn’t matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.Confucius
When no matter what you do you only make a little progress, it’s easy to get irritated and feel rushed.
But this reminds us that moving slowly isn’t a bad thing.
These are the words of Confucius, the Chinese thinker and philosopher who gave rise to Confucianism.
Even if your pace is slow, it’s far better than coming to a stop.
Above all, it tells us to keep moving forward—by a step or even a half-step.
So there’s no need to panic.
Keep advancing in your own way.
No matter how long it takes, that’s not the issue. What matters is having a goal.Eudora Welty
I believe everyone has their own pace.
For easygoing people, time flows gently; for impatient people, life moves at a brisk clip.
Of course, neither is better or worse—ideally, we’d all value our own pace and move toward our goals accordingly.
Eudora Welty also spoke about the importance of having a goal: “The time it takes to reach it doesn’t matter; what matters is stepping up to the starting line.” These words may resonate with anyone feeling a bit anxious because their plans aren’t progressing smoothly.
Eudora Welty, a three-time O.
Henry Award winner and a Pulitzer Prize recipient—hearing such kind words from her makes you want to pick up her works, doesn’t it?
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.Abraham Lincoln
Even if you fail, even if things don’t go smoothly, as long as you have the will to try, the road will open up in one form or another.
That encouraging feeling is captured in these words by Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States.
Whatever you do, “will” is essential.
I want to do this, I want to do that, I want to make this dream come true—each intention creates its own path.
Cherish your will, and keep opening up new paths!
Our lives are worth only as much as the effort we put into them.François Mauriac
Have you ever wondered what gives life its value? François Mauriac, the French writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature, believed that life gains value in proportion to our efforts.
Even things that may seem pointless at the time—those efforts are always put to use in our lives.
These words encourage us, don’t they? For those striving toward something—whether to achieve a dream or to make their family happy—their lives become truly valuable and wonderful.
So hold your head high with confidence.
If you stay focused, you can overcome any obstacle.Warren Buffett
These are the words of Warren Buffett, an American investor who has built a record of steady results through long-term investing.
His success was not the product of split-second decisions, but of a sustained commitment to focus.
In studying as well, getting distracted by too much information scatters your results.
By identifying what needs to be done and concentrating on the task at hand, you can overcome difficult obstacles little by little.
Patiently sustained focus leads to significant outcomes.
It’s a famous quote that quietly teaches the importance of the quality of effort.
