Aren't we always nearly making it?

We're constantly trying new things and not all of those things will we want to keep doing and that is OK! Sometimes the original thing we try might open up a new door and so we go through that instead. The journey that brings us to these new experiences is what shapes us and makes us, the journey helps us to grow. When we look at life as being full of "big milestones" we can feel the weight of not achieving them and feeling less than. Guys, this is not what life is about. Have goals, FOR SURE, but firstly understand why you want that goal, and then work towards it and recognise that life isn't a rat race to the end, it's an opportunity to experience so many different flavours, not just the ones that make up your milestones.

And, let's rewrite the narrative that a life milestone has to be huge, it can also be perfecting that dish you've been making, learning how to do a 3-point turn, or finishing reading a book. All of these things are achievements.

P.S. It's the tenth episode! Aaah that seems kinda wild to me and I'm going to make that a milestone ;)

Happy listening peapods!
