“It is never too late. It’s true that your genes and your experiences shape the way you see the world, the way you interact with other people, and the way you respond to negative feelings. And it is certainly true that opportunities for economic advancement and basic human dignity are not equally available to all, and some of us are born into positions of significant disadvantage. But your ways of being in the world are not set in stone. It’s more like they are set in sand. Your childhood is not your fate. Your natural disposition is not your fate. The neighborhood you grew up in is not your fate. The (professional) research shows this clearly. Nothing that has happened in your life precludes you from connecting with others, from thriving, or from being happy. People often think that once you get to adulthood, that’s it – your life and your way of living are set. But what we find by looking at the entirety of research into human development is that this just isn’t true. Meaningful change is possible.”
– Robert Waldinger, M.D. and Marc Schulz, PhD, authors of “The Good Life” – quote from page 22
