you’re not being graded anymore:
> this can either be very suffocating or very freeing
> but it’s the new reality so learn to get comfortable with it
> there is no longer one map telling you what to do - *you* get to decide for yourself
> most people are out of touch with how to actually figure out what it is they want… they were always just told what to do
> grades, school, teachers - it all gave us structure and that’s all we knew for so long
> but you slowly see paths diverge. people ending up in different career paths, locations, marriages, partners, kids, income brackets
how to navigate the shift:
> stop asking “what am I doing with my life” it’s too big of a question (spoiler: most people don’t know anyway)
> move toward - “what do you want to aim for in the next month?”
> that moves you from a goal that’s impossible/daunting to something achievable
> identify what variables you’d most like to change in your life & where you want to move toward
> create BABY steps for yourself. if the step scares you, start smaller. life is just a series of the small compounding decisions we make over and over.
> learn what you DON'T want - elimination is just as valuable as finding what you love
> it's okay to want different things than others!! your timeline doesn't need to match theirs
> this is a lifelong journey. you won't figure it all out over night. commit to constantly re-evaluating what feels aligned
> find people who inspire you & ask for advice on how to get where you want to go
> nobody has it all figured out. everyone’s making it up. seriously.
> you have AGENCY! you get to decide what *you* want to do
so go start LIVING!!!
you’ve got the agency!!!
we’re all figuring it out!!!
you got this!!!
'E.g.' comes from the Latin 'exempli gratia,' which means "for example."
Also, 'i.e.' comes from the Latin 'id est,' which means "that is."
Way to remember
e.g. = example given
i.e. = in essence
