47 Is Not Too Late (But My Brain Keeps Saying It Is) - a story about too old to change careers

Feeling too old to start over is real — but it is a feeling, not a fact. The courage to begin is not reserved for the young; it belongs to anyone willing to stop asking for permission.

“Each of you should summon up the courage of a lion king and never succumb to threats from anyone. The lion king fears no other beast, nor do its cubs.”

- Nichiren Daishonin, 'Letter from Sado,' WND-1, p. 302
