I’m not good at giving advice; heck, I am not even that good at taking advice but when I found I couldn’t stick to the prompt for #BEDM and lacked inspiration for a post of my own, Nic suggested a piece of advice for others and I thought that was a great idea for a post.
What advice would I give to anyone – of any gender, race or age? My advice is actually quite simple – stick at what you love and it’s fine if you realise something isn’t for you anymore. I mentioned in another post this week that writing is something I always wanted to do as a career and I am finally here, 6 years after finishing Sixth Form doing what I originally set out to do. I thought I’d fallen out of love with it but in reality, it was the gap year that got me – a year out from education made me question what I was doing and why I was doing it. Do I have regrets? Well, I try to live without regrets but of course I do – I could have got here a lot quicker if I had stuck at it but then I also realise that if I had continued on that path, I would never have met Steve or had Jack – and that is unthinkable!
I suppose if I had to put it in simple terms – I am saying stick at what you love and achieve the best you can achieve but it is okay to quit if you no longer love what you are doing – no one wants to be miserable.
What advice do you have for others?
My advice is simple don't take anything from granted and enjoy every day as you never know what is round the corner. I like your advice too Bex 🙂
