The Life Mess

Sunny Okonkwo
Don’t let yourself get caught up in the trap of comparison. You know what I’m talking about. Ignore the silly under 30 list that the internet throws at you before you’ve even had your morning cup of Tea.
So, know this. You’re going to continue to evolve in unforeseen ways. You are full of complexities and wonders that haven’t even begun to surface. Life’s unpredictability will draw these out, and what defines you now will be mere shades and hues of a more vibrant you over the next five, 10, 50 years. Honestly, I can’t even think of anything more liberating than that. Knowing that life will look differently than you think it will.

So think big. Show up early. Stay late, and bust your asses. But stay focused so that your change in growth is intentional. Don’t let who you’re becoming be shaped by disappointments. Also, don’t let yourself be shaped by achievements either.. If you could meet with triumph and disaster, but treat those two imposters just the same. Keep moving forward, and don’t be frustrated when your path gets messy because it will get messy. You’ll fall, and you’ll fail along the way, wildly.
