It’s never too late to learn how to do something good. Even if you feel like you’re not a “natural,” there are many things that we can all learn about, and some of them may surprise you! In this blog post, I will go through 10 skills that people often say they wish they knew how to do better or more efficiently. The goal is for readers to be able-minded enough in their everyday lives so that no one has the power of making them feel incapable of doing something good.
Being able to play a musical instrument. If you can’t read music, don’t worry! You’ll learn how to play congas with practice and patience. Playing an instrument is one way that people are able to express themselves creatively – even if they never planned on being creative in the first place!
Knowing how to cook something from scratch without relying on recipes. There’s something about getting your hands dirty when making food for others that makes you feel good inside knowing that what you’re giving them is not only delicious but wholesome too. For some reason, I’m still taking recipe cues from my mom’s cooking show which has been around since before TV went digital…oops 😉 !
Speaking another language fluently or at least being conversational in it. There’s something about finally mastering a language that makes you feel accomplished, especially if you’re someone who is self-taught like myself!
Something good can work – whether it be cooking from scratch without relying on recipes or speaking another language fluently – and there are so many other things we could add to this list too (like writing a blog post!) Check out the full piece for more details.

It’s never too late to learn how to do something good – and I’m not talking about your ABCs. Check out the full piece for more details.
I was reading a book called “something good can work” by Dan Smith at my local library one day when this sentence struck me:
“You don’t need be anyone but yourself.” It made sense in such an effortless way and it really got me thinking…it’s so easy for us to get overwhelmed with all of these things we think we should or shouldn’t have done before reaching a certain point in life or achieving some particular benchmark (like graduating collegeiet).
The thing is, life isn’t a race. There’s no finish line to cross and call it quits for the day. In fact, I think that there are many things we can do right now–if not today then tomorrow or next week or even next month if need be. What matters most really is what you do with your time.
“You don’t need be anyone but yourself.” Dan Smith – something good can work
I love this quote from Dan because he makes such an important point about how we should never feel like our lives are behind us before they’ve begun simply because of past regrets or missed opportunities…in other words, “it’s never too late”. Your story has just started and there’s so much more to go.
This is such an important discussion for me because I’ve struggled with this in my own life–wanting to reach a certain benchmark (like graduating college) and feeling like that was the end of something good, even if it wasn’t really. But then I started thinking about what matters most and realized how ridiculous it feels when we let something else dictate our time rather than us doing things on our terms, at our pace. As long as you’re being true to yourself and your values over anything else, *anything good can work!
“You don’t need be anyone but yourself.” Dan Smith – something good can work
I love this quote from Dan because he makes such an important point that we can do something good, no matter what. We don’t have to wait until it feels right or like the perfect time for us–it’s never too late!
We all deserve so much more than something average in life and I hope this blog post inspires you to keep doing “something good”. It might not be easy but it’ll always be worth it 🙂
