I'm generally pretty punctual and for Portuguese people that is a rarity because here everybody is always late...maybe you should move out here?
I think there's no excuse for being late. If I'm on time, why can't others be on time too? All you need to do is allow yourself the realistic amount of time to do things before you need to be somewhere. You can make all the excuses you want but at the end of day, it's a case of knowing how to manage your time and being responsible for your own actions.
Being late all the time also affects the way others view you, usually negatively. So I agree its probably having an effect on how you do in life.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
