QUOTE : LOVE yourself, and what you’re doing, even if you’re not yet at the place you<br />hope to land. Let joy be the thing that drives you, and I bet you’ll get there<br />faster. Give yourself permission to make mistakes. Those mistakes are as<br />valuable as the triumphs. If you free yourself from having to be “right,” you’ll<br />open so many doors. You might choose classes that interest you, rather than ones<br />you’re “supposed” to take. You might carry a book with you that isn’t something<br />you’re required to read for school. You might try something new—like, say,<br />taking a three-day spinning instructor certification class—and change direction<br />entirely. And why not? Your job doesn’t define you—your bravery and kindness<br />and gratitude do. Even without any “big” accomplishments yet to your name,<br />you are enough. Whether you have top billing, or you’re still dancing in the back<br />row, you are enough, just as you are.
