Jim Carrey said something a few years ago that really stuck with me, and I feel like it applies directly to this - he was speaking about his father who gave up on being a performer to take a "safe" job as an accountant, only to get unceremoniously laid off many years later.

"You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well do what you love"

Selling yourself short and taking the "safe" path, doesn't guarantee you anything. If you feel a change coming on. Embrace it, and enjoy the ride.

And a final thought: It's never to early, or too late for a change. Ever.
