When you feel frustrated with where you are, or wish you had figured it out sooner, remember that arriving earlier would have meant arriving as a different person. Maybe the years spent somewhere else were not delaying your dream. Maybe your dream required those years and experiences from you.

Maybe you need every version of you that came before.

So, don't judge the season you are in because...

maybe...

the version of you who accomplishes the dream needs the version of you right now.
