i’ve been doing a lot of mental exercises this week trying to blaze a path into the next leg of my career

i’ve been experiencing a lot of disappointment because i’ve been trying to re-invent myself into something i’ve never been

it finally occurred to me that what i am already is pretty cool, and i have a lot to work with. i need to spend more time thinking about my strengths and discovering a career path that matches that, less on changing myself to match a career path that i think i want

i’m definitely not against making big changes, quite the contrary, i just realize that i will always be me. no matter how much i grow, some things are unchangeable. i can see those as faults, or i can find a way to make them assets

@kellogh this stood out as I'm reading "the Courage to be Disliked" by Ichiro Kishimi, and it says something quite similar on self-acceptance.
