Wow! This was a loving reality check - are my excuses a way to hide from my true desires? I really noticed myself in this. You offered a really beautiful and poignant example, saying, "injuries do not always signify the end of a career" WHOA! How encouraging for the recovering. It's time to take my dreams seriously. Thank you for this beautiful piece! Sharing!

I love this Solange and I know all of it is true. That said, it's taken me 50+ years on this planet to truly feel and believe much of what you say. I had to overcome much of what our competitive culture teaches and nurture authentic self-love first. And I'm excited for my next 50 years and the magic that will grow from the wisdom you've shared.

Yes 100%! There's so much unlearning to do. It's definitely the journey of a lifetime. I'm also looking forward to seeing more of this magic as the years roll on 💖

My 2 cents: Keep following your dreams! And while you do that, project your self onto the future. Your powerful imagination will also help you to decide your next moves as we are constantly changing in a brutally changing environment.. how do you imagine your life at 40? Luv
