You Are Not Too Anything


It is never too late to follow your dreams, follow your heart, and follow your bliss.
You can do what your heart wants now. Today. You can make time.

You are not...

- too late
- too busy
- too silly
- too underexperienced
- too poor
- too unimportant, etc.

You can start today. You can make a commitment to honor your truth. You can take that first step. The dreams the divine has placed in your heart matters. Your gift, your talents, your contribution, your life's work will make the world a brighter and happier place. Today is the day to start.

Actors Who Achieved Fame Later in Life


Lucille Ball

Everybody loves Lucille Ball, but believe it or not, she wasn’t always as wildly successful. In her early years, she worked as a model, performed on Broadway using a stage name, and assumed many small B-movie roles. Only in 1951, at the age of 40, did Lucille Ball make it big, creating the television series “I Love Lucy,” which skyrocketed her to fame, earning Ball four Emmy Awards and thirteen nominations. She continued to work after “I Love Lucy” ended, both on film and on stage.

Phylicia Rashad
 Although Phylicia Rashad made a name for herself performing on and Off-Broadway, it wasn’t until Rashad landed the iconic role of Claire Huxtable on the long-running sitcom “The Cosby Show” at the age of 35 that she became a name. She received two Emmy Award nominations for her work on the show, and Rashad went on to become the first African American actress to win the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play for her work in the revival of “A Raisin in the Sun.”

Harrison Ford
Harrison Ford was hired to build cabinets for director George Lucas, which led to his subsequent casting as the lead in “Star Wars” at the age of 33.  Lucas asked Ford to read lines for Han Solo, and was so won over by his portrayal that he offered the role to Ford. Since then, Ford was cast as the lead in the “Indiana Jones” franchise, solidifying his position as a leading man.

Samuel Jackson
Before he was Jules Winnfield in “Pulp Fiction,” Samuel Jackson was a social worker. After deciding to pursue a career in acting, he took on small roles on films like “Goodfellas,” and “True Romance.” It wasn’t until “Pulp Fiction,” when Jackson was 45, did he become a star. Jackson was critically heralded and received an Academy Award nomination. From then on, he went on to star in “A Time to Kill,” “Jackie Brown”, and most recently, “Django Unchained.” Jackson remains a big name with box office power, and continues to work steadily.

Jeremy Renner
While taking on small roles in films, Jeremy Renner worked as a part-time make up artist to make ends meet. It wasn’t until 2009 that Renner, at the age of 38, got his big break as Sergeant William James in
Kathyrn Bigelow’s “The Hurt Locker.” Since then, Renner has gone to star in
blockbuster hits like “The Avengers” and “The Bourne Legacy.”


Morgan Freeman
Morgan Freeman is one of the biggest Hollywood movie stars working today. Freeman has been acting since he was nine years old, but it wasn’t until the mid 1970s and 1980s, nearing his forties that he made it big.
Freeman became a recognizable face to the general public after his work on the popular soap opera “Another World” and the PBS kid’s show “The Electric Company.” Since then, we went on to play a string of prominent supporting roles
in many feature films, including playing Hoke in “Driving Miss Daisy,” a role he originated on stage. Freeman won his first Academy Award for “Million Dollar Baby” in 2004.
