Get to know yourself earlier. The moment you understand who you are (your passions, your values, your strengths, and your weaknesses), you gain clarity and confidence. You start focusing on what truly matters to you. And the only way to really know yourself is to try things, give yourself time to think, and write. Explore. Say yes to challenges. Do the hard things. Every experience teaches you something new. And the best part is that you’re never “ready”. The journey continues throughout your life.
