It's never too late in life to re-invent yourself. If you are not satisfied with your situation, start making small changes so that you can achieve your dreams.
Remember that your success is influenced by your connections. Family, co-workers, mentors, and friends are all part of your success. Make sure to nurture those relationships in a positive way.
Don't do something because that is how it has always been done. Often times it is the exceptions to the rules that create the winners.
