It was 65438+ February. They looked at me and said nothing. I don't know if they rolled their eyes in their hearts.
I'm a little depressed myself-I vowed to learn to swim more than ten years ago, and now Doug has been in the water like a duck to water for a long time, but I'm dragging on for years under the excuse of being "busy" and "not in the mood recently".
But learning to swim has been hovering in my mind. Like a bird, it flies around and never leaves.
After the party, I consulted the coach, arranged a trial training class, bought all the equipment and put it in my fitness bag that I kept in my closet for one year.
On the day of the trial, something happened suddenly at noon, so I had to ask for leave: I was going to postpone going for two days, but I caught a cold and had an intravenous drip for a few days ... Two weeks suddenly passed.
There is not much left in 2020. The coach asked me: When will you come to learn?
Go tomorrow! What I was thinking in my mind was actually "the day after tomorrow" or "the day after tomorrow" and I wanted to give myself some "preparation time", but I knew it was an excuse, so I ignored myself and booked the next day directly.
After listening to the class, I feel good, I am willing to pay for the class, and I am full of confidence in studying 202 1 year ago.
I feel full of strength and happiness, because I can control myself, I don't need to find excuses to delay, and I don't need to think about the regrets that I didn't do in the end.
This is not just learning a skill, but discovering "I can do it" in the process, rather than indulging in the thinking of "can I do it?"
Action is the cure for all anxiety.
I had dinner with Zhao and Huang Xiaoqiu yesterday. I haven't seen him for about a year. I ate a meal for three hours.
Zhao Zhao is in excellent condition and works in an orderly way. He studies Chinese medicine and does some exercises. Huang Xiaoqiu is very busy, so is her work and her children. Her daughter is hovering on the edge of next year's college entrance examination.
Think about the topic we talked about together a few years ago, when we talked about "what we are doing and what we want to do"—
My plan is to make good money and then write with peace of mind.
Zhao smiled and said, "My idea is just the opposite of yours. I want to learn Chinese medicine, listen to more courses and practice more. "
We all feel very happy. Everyone has something they want to do and go in the direction they like.
At this moment, I feel more clearly that it is never too late to start what I want to do.
At the beginning, Zhao Zhao was fascinated by Chinese medicine for 40 years and began to study it. I was also surprised by this determination to become a monk halfway, but she said she was a fan of Chinese medicine and began to study. As for her future plans, it doesn't matter. You can study and think at the same time, and that will be fine.
Now, she is doing very well.
Many things, because we think too much, think too far, but stop.
If you want to do something, never be afraid of being late. Once you start, it's not too late.
And if you just stay in a state of thinking, hesitation or even anxiety, it will always be zero.
At the age of 24, my sister Angie began to learn to dance. At that time, she worked in a university and was married.
I heard that dancing is a child's job. Is it too late? The bone is hard, can the body stretch flexibly? For a girl, it's great to get married at work, have a good life at work, have children, take care of the family and dance in the future ... she has encountered many problems.
She said that she didn't need childlike innocence to learn belly dancing, as long as she had a solid foundation. She liked dancing when she was a child. No conditions. Now she has it. Not bad as an interest, huh? Moreover, she can exercise, expand her body and mind, and expand her social circle. She is very happy to meet good friends with similar interests.
Unexpectedly, she really danced for ten years.
From beginners to progress, from ordinary dancers to dance coaches, I have participated in various dance competitions, won many awards, and opened a dance studio ... It sounds like a fantasy, but it does happen in life.
Later, she gave birth to a child. Besides dancing, she was also learning yoga and body conditioning. She took a girl who loves beauty to lose weight through fasting and accumulated a certain amount. She quit her job, concentrated on fasting and losing weight, and did some conditioning such as warming the palace ... This chubby girl who was lazy when she was a child was really admirable.
My parents were worried when she wanted to be a studio, especially when she resigned. At that time, belly dancing was already popular. Of course, she wouldn't do it too early, okay? She said, "I didn't do it the earliest, but I can do it well."
The answer is already obvious.
Nowadays, dance is like a medium, leading her into a bigger world and gaining a bigger stage. How wonderful it is for her to become more confident and beautiful and help others become better!
In life, failure is common, but success can only be achieved through action.
When you are ready to do something you like and have thought about for a long time, someone will always tell you, "You are too late, too late ..."
When I am 20 years old, I want to start learning a sport. Someone said, "The bones have developed well, it's too late."
However, in the skating rink, I saw my gray-haired aunt stumbling among the young people wearing skates. That's awesome! When I was learning to drive, there were uncles and aunts in the group, all in their fifties;
In my baking class, Aunt Zhou learned quickly and well, and her Qifeng cake was well received by relatives and friends, enjoying it and bursting with a sense of accomplishment;
At the age of 30, she said that she would start learning to write, but she was worried: "Will it be too late? Is it too late? "
Writing is a matter of all ages. If you like, you can start writing at the age of 60. If you open a book, many writers start writing in their thirties and forties;
The point is, you must start. Even keeping a diary is progress, right?
Grandma Moses said that life is never late.
Isn't it cool that she picked up a brush at the age of 76 and held an art exhibition at the age of 80?
Japanese 8 1 year-old grandmother taught herself to program and made a mobile phone software. Even Cook paid a special visit to her.
This kind of life is simply open!
Yoko Nakamura said in "Worthy of the World" that it is good to do what you want to do first, and doing things well is the first priority. Excessive expectations can easily make people fall into anxiety.
As for self-worth and the significance of this matter, her advice is: life is long, just think slowly.
Some people say it's too late to do anything, so you don't do it.
When I was a sophomore, I found that my grades were not good enough and I might not be able to go to a key university. You think it's too late, so you give up on yourself, and finally you didn't even get into an ordinary undergraduate course.
When I was in college, I found that I chose the wrong major, so I was confused and wasted my youth in the game. When I graduated, I managed to find a job and found that I missed the opportunity to change my life-oh, it's late again!
It's hard to find problems in a relationship, such as being stuck in my throat, but I've been talking about marriage and have no time to communicate and sort it out. So I pretended that nothing had happened and dragged myself into the marriage until one day I was desperate and suffered the consequences.

There are many inspirational stories, but if you look at them carefully, most of them are written by an ordinary person with his persistence, hard work and seriousness.
Whatever you want to do, as long as you start, it's never too late, really.
The changes you want to make, as long as you start, will develop in a good direction.
