Late Bloomers: Embracing Your Own Timeline

Late blooming is a common experience and feeling for many people, as highlighted by a conference where every hand went up when asked if they felt like they weren't where they were supposed to be. This perspective puts the pressure to be at a certain place in life into perspective, reminding us that nobody is truly where they're supposed to be. Instead of comparing ourselves to others or societal expectations, it's important to focus on our own journey and recognize that everyone has their own timeline. Being a late bloomer can be seen as a superpower, as it allows for personal growth, unique experiences, and the opportunity to find success at our own pace.
