"Don’t compare their highlight reel to your day-to-day. The reality is, you have no idea how they got there or what struggles they faced on their journey, and it’s very likely that they faced a lot. It is better to focus on what you’re doing and not what anyone else is."
"Trying everything you think you might be interested in is the fastest way to build an interesting life, which is the ultimate goal."
"Keep your eyes, mind and heart open to new learning opportunities. Don’t be too siloed."
"Remember: No 'thing' can generate happiness. No goal met or accomplishment checked off the list can provide true fulfillment. Happiness, satisfaction, and contentment are found within, which makes understanding yourself a step you can’t skip or take lightly."
"Don’t be afraid to take a risk in your career, whether it’s taking a new job, forging a new career path or starting your own passion project. If you’re not a little scared, you’re probably not challenging yourself to reach your full potential."
"The difference between succeeding and failing may be just in the speed you can dust off, regroup and start running again."
"Take ownership of your career. No one is going to care more or know what you want better than you."
"Don’t worry if you don’t have the best idea – you’ll iterate on it. Don’t worry if you don’t have the financial means – you’ll start slowly. Don’t sit on your great idea. Build it."
