You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

In a go-getter society that prizes prodigy and speed, it can be daunting to go back to the drawing board to pursue a new goal. But motivational speaker Les Brown reminds us that no matter your age, it’s never too late to dream something new. Brown had a long line of unsuccessful interviews before he landed his own CBS talk show — at the age of 67. “What if I’d just given up and stopped? ... I believe that if you forget your years, your years will forget you,” he said in a 2012 interview. His story reminds us that passion and commitment, much more than age, are the keys to reaching your goals.
