What three “gifts” would you give a 20-something if you were a “Forty-Godmother”? 40-something women share three things to help a 20-something get a head start on the confidence to make decisions that are right for themselves. No more woulda, coulda, shoulda.
1. No one’s path is better than another’s. You are just at the beginning. You could live to be 80+ so you have 60 or so more years to define yourself and many more decisions and possible pivots to go.
2. When you get to be 40 you can enjoy it all more because you get into your own groove. What you want vs what the world wants. Ironically it is then that you have more to give to the world!
3. Take a moment now, everyday, to appreciate something you are doing, experiencing in the here and now. No matter how small.
