We compare ourselves so much to others that we often get too caught up in our own heads. We start to ask ourselves “am I doing this right?” and “there’s no point in this”.  We start to believe that we’re not good enough and that everyone else is judging us for our life path decisions.

None of this is true. If you’re doing something that you love, something that you chose just for you, don’t let anyone tell you that it’s not right for you. The opposite is also true. If you are in a job that you hate, doing something that you thought you had to and what was expected of you, you have every right to say no.

Change your life, again and again. This is your time to do what’s right for you, no matter your age. Are you complaining about something in your life? Change it. We’re too afraid of change it’s almost hilarious! Step out of you comfort zone and start focusing on what you actually want.

I went to uni because that was what was expected of me. I didn’t think I had any other choice. And I did really want to go and enjoy it, and I did to start with, but then something just didn’t feel right. I didn’t have to have a reason for pausing my degree. I was no longer enjoying it, so I changed it. Now I’m doing something I love. It’s scary, sure, not knowing where I’m going to be three, six, twelve months from now. But that’s the beauty of life. I can do things for me, knowing that that is what life is all about now.

So, if you want something bad enough, don’t let anything, or anyone, stop you.
