Well, sometimes it is. But sometimes, late is just not good enough.
Being late to notice that your family is slipping away. Being late to realize that your kids are tied up with the wrong group. Being late to notice that your best friend has been trying to reach out for help. Those things aren't acceptable and sometimes being late is just not good enough.
Define what you refuse to be late for. And then show up on time.
Have a great weekend!
