I’ll never play in the NBA.
I’m 5’8″ tall and 44 years old. My time has passed.
Life is like that. We have certain windows in which we have certain opportunities. As time goes on, those windows close.
It’s best to let the missed opportunities go. No point in sitting around wallowing in regret.
The good news is that as we enter new windows, new opportunities can be found.
I may not be able to do some of what I could do at 14, but there’s a lot more available to me at 44.
