To everyone out there feeling the pressure of stagnancy and drift in life endeavors, to those losing it and thinking they can't reach their goals anymore, to those feeling obsolete when you see friends and people of your age/calibre progressing and making fortunes and you think they are ahead of you, maybe some of them you feel are behind but everything happens at their own pace. while you are trying to break the deadlock, I want you to know that everything in life happens according to our time, our clock. They have their own time and clock and so do you, be patient.
I know people who graduated at 21 and did not get a job untill they were 27
I know people who graduated late as 25 and got a job immediately
I know people who never went to university, but found what the love at 18
I know people who found a job straight out of College making decent money but, hate what they do
I know people who too gap years and found their purpose
I know people who were so sure about what they were going to do at 16, they change their mind at 26
I know people who have children but are single
And I know people who are married but had to wait 8-10 years to get children
I know people in relationships who love someone else
I know people who love each other but aren't together.
Everything in life happens according to our time, our clock..
At age 25 mark Cuban was a bartender in Dallas
It took till 32 for j.k Rowling to be published for Harry Porter after being rejected by 12 publishers
Ortega launched Zara when he was 39
Jack ma started alibaba when he was 35
Morgan Freeman got his big break at 52
Steve Carell only got his break after 40 years old
Virgin was started by Richard Branson at 34.
Getting your degree after 25 is still an achievement
Not being married at 30 but still happy is beautiful
Starting a family after 35 is still possible
And buying a house after 40 is still great.
Don't let anyone rush you with their time lines as Einstein said "Not everything that counts can be counted and not everything that's counted truly counts" the most important thing is that you have to be able to create meaningful, purposeful, fulfilling life for yourselves and learn how to use that to make impact and a difference in the lives of others, THAT WILL BE TRUE SUCCESS..
