When I was in Year 12, I told my mum I wanted to study marketing.
She said, “Don’t you have to be talented to do that?”
Luckily, apparently you don’t have to be “talented” to become an accountant 😂 So that’s what I did.
And for years, the story I told myself was:
I’m smart.
I’m good with numbers.
But I’m not talented.
I’m not creative.
Turns out… that story wasn’t actually true.
But I believed it for long enough that I spent 10 years doing something I didn’t love.
It took me a LONG time to be brave enough to change careers.
And now? I have my own business - and one of the things I love most is marketing.
So, here I am, almost 40, finally realising maybe I was talented enough all along.
It makes me wonder how many decisions we make based on stories about ourselves that we’ve never actually questioned.
What’s one story you tell yourself that might not be true? 👇
