Are You Really Too Young? Or Are You Just Waiting for Permission?

Everyone who are very young find themselves with a lack of credibility, but only you know if you are too young for something in your life and understand when is the time to do what you wanna do.

This text is for you who are young and seek to prove your ability and your strong ideas around the any areas of your life.

Young people often see adverse situations and one of the most common is the lack of credibility about work done in the recently past and projects that are already being put into practice to her lives.

When I decided to put a website on the air to talk with young people in Brazil about career and personal development, it was a very important decision in my life. This project was something that I had been planning a long time and with very concrete and great goals to the future.

Note: When you see the future with clarity and can give the first step, you see a lot of opportunities open in front of your eyes.

On the other hand, under no circumstances did I allow the age be an excuse to leave for later anything that I planned to do in my life, and I learned day by day that to leave for later anything that you consider important, regardless of being of your professional or personal life, is another excuse that does not build winners. 

You and me want to be winners in our lives! I bet, yes!

The most interesting thing (and what motivates me to do what I do) is that when we take on a role of responsibility and believe in ourselves, we are planting good things to reap good fruit in the future.

When you assume an important role too young, you have all responsibility for this with you. 

So, the question here is that only you can tell if you are too young to have success right now.

At the time, assuming you are now just 16 years old and you are starting a business that you consider too big, go ahead and don’t be afraid.

Your age just begins to be a problem for you when you let it be a barrier in your life. So simple as that may seem, do not let yourself slow down your growth.

You can be absolutely sure that only you will be able to understand if you are ready or not, and only you are responsible for establishing when it is time to take each step.

And just a important thing: I did not say it will be easy, on the contrary, you can expect all sorts of difficulties that may come along your journey, but believe that if you have the commitment and the dedication to run behind your dream, today is the right day to start. 

Maybe more one hour can be too late.

Go ahead and believe that your future is built only by you and right now.
