when Michelle said Barack has “stubborn optimism” I realized I also really want that in a partner. Somebody who isn’t moved by life’s shortcomings but ALWAYS sees the light at the end of the tunnel. That’s a true leader, not just of a country but a household. what a legacy.
In my late 30s and 40s maybe. Your youth is for grinding, so better suck it up, unless of course financial stability is not a goal for you which is ok, or you’re lucky to find both fulfillment & good compensation in the same job.
A lot of women are living off hard deadlines and timelines for life milestones and it’s stressing you out, them life deadlines are killing you.
Enjoy life, do your best, choose your peace and prioritize but be flexible.
I love seeing people win because it just opens my eyes to how much can be achieved in a lifetime. It really feels like there’s an infinite amount of ways to be successful.
While on that, I am a firm believer that some professions should leave no room for mediocrity. Like, competence is not enough. You need to be exceptional.
