But there is no point in rushing quickly towards a life that will not inspire you or fulfill you.
Take a chance on yourself.
This is because it isnt easy being the person who does things differently.
It isnt easy peeling away from the crowd.
You have to take a chance on yourself.
You are so capable.
You have to leap, even when its scary.
What are the things that ignite you in life?
What are the things you wake up just wanting to do?
The things that genuinely light you up?
These may not be your career options, but it is important to pursue them feverishly.
That knowledge, that stepping stone, that foundation is the basis of everything.
That is your beginning.
Remember that you are on your own journey.
Do not compare yourself to anyone who came before you.
Do not tell yourself that something isnt feasible because others doubt it.
just, just remember that none of that matters.
You are working towards a life that will make you happy on your own terms.
You have to be okay with living one on your own terms so that do that.
It is okay to take your time.
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.
Its 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.
They didnt have it all figured out immediately.
It is painfully simple if you are met with a closed door, do not give up.
Keep going, keep pursuing, keep learning about yourself and the industries or the projects that inspire you.
If you cannot convince someone to open a door for you, open your own doors.
People will say no.
The world needs your unique gifts.
Keep fighting for your dreams, even if it means changing them.
Because the world needs your uniqueness.
It needs your talent, your art, your mind.
You are so deeply capable of doing something beautiful with your time here.
Dont let roadblocks, or self doubt, or the way your journey is unfolding, convince you otherwise.
