Every late has a chance, only the percentage is low. But the good news is a chance is still a chance, you can still win even if the cards you are holding was not the favorite. Still do it even if you're late, still do it even if nobody wants to see it. You never know what may happen if you take a chance. Even if the chance of winning is very slim... still do it, you never know what the future may hold, you have to do it if you really wanted to win. The time for being scared is no longer working, why not be brave this time and see if it works. Don't believe in time, if you will think about time all the time then you will be pressured, you will make mistakes, you will rush, you will never be able to do what is needed. Stop thinking about time because it's just an illusion.
THE MOST IMPOTANT THING IS...
You still say it, you still do it, you still show up, you still fight. This is the most important thing... not taking things for granted, always think that you can still make it even if you already miss the deadline. Do it still so you won't have any regrets, avoid overthinking and just do it. Saying pass, saying tomorrow, saying later, these kinds of behavior will put you on a worst position. Never think that you are allowed to not do it because there is still another chance, what if it is your last chance? never take anything for granted, if you can do it then do it now, do it even if you're late because it will still make an impact. Always remember that trying should be your number one priority and nothing else, you should try whenever you have a chance, you should try all the time because that's the most important thing in life... never give up and never take any slim chance for granted.
WHAT'S THE POINT OF NOT DOING IT?
You already lost if you don't show up, some people who were not better than you but showing up already have an edge on you. You're only wasting your life and energy if you will not do it, it will haunt you forever, you will think about what could have happen if you show up and do what is needed. Not doing it is cowardice, it's wasting an opportunity, it's not giving respect to your chances. You have a big chance of making a comeback. You will feel much better if you will just do it despite of being late. The choice is yours, the power is in your hands, you still have a chance... are you just going to let it go? have some pride, if you're going to lose... lose with some class, lose but still give your all and never take anything for granted.
FORGET ABOUT SUCCEEDING
Sometimes you want to succeed right away, sometimes you just want to ignore all the process and reach the finish line. But it's not possible, you can't be wishing for everything to become easier. The pressure is stronger because you are late, and that's why you're thinking twice if you will still do it or not. That's why just forget succeeding and just do the process so that the resistance will become weaker. You're thinking about success too much and it's stopping you from making a progress. Stop thinking about success, detach from it completely. Stop overthinking and just do it, do it so you will have no regrets in the end. Having regrets is the worse feeling in the world, it's impossible to have no regrets but it's possible to at least minimize the number of regrets you have.
STILL DO IT EVEN IF DEFEAT IS VERY EVIDENT
If you think you already lost... still do it, it's not about winning anymore, it's about developing an attitude of pushing until the end. Most people lose hope when they feel defeated, don't be like them, don't be a coward. Miracles happen if you keep pushing until the end, you never know what may happen unless you really go all the way and see what is still possible. Because if you can develop a mentality of pushing anytime anywhere then you will succeed in life. Forget about the time, forget if you're too damn late and keep pushing, there are millions of stories about taking chances even if the door was already close and victory was still conquered. Because this is what greatness is all about... still fighting even if there is no more chance of winning, you still believe in yourself no matter what.
STOP BEING A BUM
You have top keep pushing all the time if you want to win in life, it doesn't matter what other people are doing. It doesn't matter what other people are getting. Focus on your own journey and try to squeeze as much juice as you can from your life. Try to become as big as you can be with all the ideas and skills you have. It's simply trying, there is no other formula here... show up and give your best regardless of what the situation is. Most of the time you're quitting when you're just 5 minutes late, the truth is you're just making excuses. If you really want it then you will really push even if you're ten days late. It's like loving a girl, you will still fight for your love even if she already have a boyfriend. Don't just let time pass by without even trying, try with your very best, with all your strength and tenacity.
NEVER ELIMINATE YOURSELF
Just because you're already late doesn't mean you've been eliminated. Just because you feel you have no chance doesn't mean you're not going to try anymore, still try. This is the punishment for being late and slow... the doubt is bigger but you still have to force yourself and try. Don't count yourself out, always think that you still have a chance, for as long as you can still try... still try even if you're already ten years late. Ignore time, focus on what you want and go there no matter what time it is. Keep asking, keep trying, never hold yourself back just because there are time limits. Believe that you still have a chance, believe that you can pull out some kind of a miracle. Because all you can do is believe, if you really wanted to win then you must think that anything is possible, never count yourself out because you've been defeated already by doing that.
So don't be afraid of deadlines, don't be afraid if you're already late... remember what you are trying to get, ignore time and focus on the main thing.
