We live in a generation that romanticizes hustle, and moving forward as quickly as possible when it comes to careers and our success within them. but there is no point in rushing quickly towards a life that will not inspire you or fulfill you. it is okay to slow down. it is okay to take the time you need. you are in no rush to figure out your own soul. it’s never too late to start over, it’s never too late to change your mind, it’s never too late to give up on the dreams you thought you wanted for ones that genuinely excite and challenge you. it’s never too late.
when you doubt this, remember — oprah was fired from her first tv job. steven spielberg was rejected from film school. vera wang was a figure skater, who ended up starting to design wedding gowns when she was 40. van gogh only sold one painting in his lifetime, all of the greats we consider heroes, all of the people we want to emulate — they all approached their journeys from a unique timeline. they didn’t have it all figured out immediately.
