Eating Late is Still an Option

The other day, I saw something in the peak of after work rush hour traffic. As I stopped at the light, I looked to the grassy area on my left and saw something that I had never seen before. I saw a bird with a worm in between his beak. Let me clarify, I saw a bird with a worm in the late afternoon. A bird had found a meal in the late afternoon hours. This actually shattered my understanding of the idiom, “The early bird catches the worm.”

As I looked at the bird just holding his meal it was as if he deferred devouring the meal just to wait on me until I received the revelation. I almost forgot that I was in traffic.

The revelation is this, it’s better late than never. Whether you are 25 or 65, if you are hungry, then it’s your time to eat. It’s your time to apply for the position. It’s your season, to return to school. It’s your moment to eat at the table. Better late than never. It would be a shame to die with your destiny still inside.
