It’s easy to feel like time’s slipping away when all you see is what you haven’t done yet. But as you've said, every little step counts. - Just commit to those 20 minutes this week and see where it takes you. - It's not about perfection; it's about progress. - Plus, you'll learn far more about yourself and what you'd like to do when you take action than standing on the sidelines waiting for that magic moment to start.
Great post, Jessica. In career counseling, a lot of the work is supporting and guiding people out of fixed ways of thinking. “I could never do that…” “that wouldn’t work because…” A lot of it is we view career change as needing immediacy and we lack patience and vision to create a path. Sometimes that path is winding and long. Sometimes it’s short but painful. No one path works for everyone but there is always a way towards progress.

One of my favorite Monday reads while having a coffee before heading out to work. A great kickstart to the week.
