Your life path does not need to be linear in order for it to be right for you. You don’t need to check off boxes on some arbitrary and antiquated list. You don’t need to follow in the footsteps of people you don’t respect. You don’t need to do things the way they said you should do them when you never wanted the same results. Your life does not need to make sense to someone else in order for it to be valuable. Your business does not need to complete a set of random levels in order for it to be successful for you. You don’t need to be there already, wherever there is.

Follow your own path.
Learn the lessons you need.
Don’t even buy their textbook.
Write your own damn rules.

You were meant for this.
