About courage and being you

168 days (a PhD season)





I have recently found myself feeling overwhelmed and trapped. I felt as if I needed to revisit my sense of who I am and where I am heading. I am in the last stages of my PhD. I have 7 months left. That's 168 days left. The workload is intense, but I need to mentally remind myself that each step takes me closer to my goal. So my message to you is that even if its tough, fear is the thing that stops you from taking steps. In listening to that one voice that encourages you and ignoring all the others that tell you "its not possible", "why would you want to do that?" and "you should focus on other things."

The truth is that purpose is unique to each individual, but having the courage to discover and have the resilience to reach your unique irreplaceable potential, those are skills that can be learnt by anyone. And it involves regulating your thoughts... so your different...now what can you do with that?
