8 Nov 2023 // The Perks of Being a Late Bloomer

 Words: 1, 227

This article spoke about the life of the painter David Epstein. It was interesting to read about how flexible life can be, as Epstein tried so many jobs (bookseller, pastor...) and still didn't know what to do.

I also found the idea of Match quality comforting, because of the idea that everyone has something they're good at but might not have found it yet. 

Overall it's a very motivating article that discusses many important points, such as being set free by failure.

Here are some starting points on what you should write about in your journal, for anyone else interested in starting. What happened today? (Daily journal) What am I grateful for today?
