It’s Never Too Late
Manage episode 418473233 series 2852209
Hello Friend,
I once visited my doctor, Lee Rice, who is as much a mentor as my physician. I told him I felt like pieces of my life were falling apart. I was going through a romantic break up, I had eaten more pounds of french fries than produce in the preceding six months, and I felt lost career wise.
One of Dr. Rice’s best qualities is the way he listens; and his empathy alone is therapeutic. He let me explain my pessimistic outlook and then shared an encouraging observation that has stuck with me ever since.
“In my years as a physician I have seen many people rebuild their lives from seeming ruin,” he said. “And it didn’t take that long, either,” he added. “For example, one man had to declare bankruptcy, was going through a divorce, and was addicted to narcotics. He turned his life around and In just a few short years he was growing a new business, enjoying a strong relationship, and living sober. It is never too late.”
From time-to-time I feel like I’ve dug myself into a hole. And every time I think about what Dr. Rice told me. I think to myself that if someone can completely remake their life in just a few years, I can certainly reverse the course and get on a better track.
Friend, If you find yourself feeling hopeless about any aspect of your life today, I hope you will be encouraged that change is fully possible.
With love,
Lisa
