Sometimes I get to feeling that I am "way behind" in accomplishing some of the goals I have set for myself. If you are like me, you are pretty hard on yourself when that 'To Do' list doesn't get checked off fast enough. THIS STORY assures us all there is no such thing as too late to begin. Except maybe if your goal is to accomplish a double axle spin on the ice or a triple backflip in gymnastics....activities that are certainly better tried when one is young and limber....
My dad always said, "Set goals. Dream big." and before Nike coined the phrase he was telling his kids "Just DO it!" I believe one of the strongest ways to help our children reach their potential, accomplish their goals and live the rich lives God has planned for them is to demonstrate by our example. A creative writing professor I once had was fond of telling his students in regards to writing, "SHOW, don't TELL." I believe that is relevant to life as well as writing.
Nike doesn't own the words, by the way. We can all "just do it"!
