#graduationtips

Was watching the Goodyear blimp circling yesterday and it’s trajectory perfectly summarized my time in my early 20’s. Every major in college would change. I would trade the “long term” commitment of business law to something seemingly easier, like sociology, only to go all-in on film and screenwriting. The indecision, and regret that followed, felt nothing short of a chronic gambler staying at the tables trying and failing to win back his losses. ✅ I was looking for a quick result, an instant cash-in on my talent, and something that could serve as academic validation. ✅ I realize now that I loved learning, and still do. Had I committed to any one of those things, I’m certain I could have been great at them, but the problem was that I treated everything as my one and only opportunity. It was the finality of it all that scared me. ❤️ What I know now is that I am successful because I finally gave my whole heart and mind to a direction and I’m so fortunate that I can see progress in my journey. So commit yourself, even if it’s just to honor the decision by you, your partner, or your employer to demonstrate your full capability. 👍🏻 Regretful people measure their journeys by the potential and loss, successful people measure their journeys by their actions and progress. 🙌🏻 Thank you for reading. 😊 . . . . . #motivationalstory #transformmylife #frombottomtotop #believeinyourself #inspirationalstory #grindforit #livingfullout #successstory #inspirationdaily #motivationalspeaker #dailymotivationalstories #leadershipdevelopment #timeforstorytelling #careerpath #graduationtips #changeyourmajor (at Livermore, California)
