I graduated high school almost 24 years ago. Time sure flies. What if I was to give a commencement speech to the class of 2000, with the wisdom I have now? What would my advice be?
Keep on chasing your dreams. It will leave you with great experiences. And in the end, that’s the only thing you will remember. But know when to slow down, otherwise you will miss the flicks on the head and before you know it the whole wall will come falling down. Time is a non renewable resource, so spend it wisely. You can do anything, but you can’t do everything. No need to compare yourself to others, you are never gonna be the best version of yourself if you’re being a copy cat. Practice self-compassion as if it were a way of life, don’t be too hard on yourself and others for that matter. You’re simply not gonna win all the time, you’re gonna lose some. You gotta get over the bad times. And remember, stop trying so hard, create space for coincidence.
