このコンテンツについて
Second chances and the power of perseverance are threaded throughout history and personal stories. Consider the phenomenon of late bloomers. Mary Mandell, writing about embracing a late bloomer journey, shares how only later in life did she discover a deep sense of fulfillment—not through early career accolades, but through relationships, self-acceptance, and ongoing curiosity. Even at 70, she finds energy and purpose in continuously pursuing growth, proving that success can arrive at any age.
There’s also a wave of recent news stories highlighting individuals who overcame setbacks to achieve their goals. For instance, in the arts and sciences, many have found recognition after years of obscurity or rejection. The Tokyo Olympics, just a few years back, featured athletes in their forties making their debut and winning medals, challenging the notion that opportunity only knocks once.
Yet society often pressures us to achieve early and judge our progress by arbitrary timelines—graduate by this age, find a dream job by another, settle down by yet another. These milestones can make anyone feel like they’ve missed their chance if life doesn’t go as planned. But the stories we hear time and time again remind us that the journey is uniquely personal, and delay doesn’t mean defeat. Every attempt, however delayed, is a testament to resilience.
So, listeners, if you’re feeling behind or doubting whether to start anew, consider the legacy of “better late than never.” Whether it’s picking up that passion project, reaching out to reconnect, or daring to change course, your action—whenever it comes—matters. Let’s celebrate perseverance, value second chances, and reject the myth that it’s ever too late to thrive.
