There Is No Script for How Life Should Go

By thirty you should own a home. By twenty-five you should know your career. By forty you should have it figured out. Says who? These timelines are inherited, not earned — passed down by a world that looked very different from the one you live in.

The most interesting people you'll meet have lives that look nothing like the template. They changed direction at forty, started over at fifty, found love at sixty. Your life is not behind schedule. It's on its own schedule, and that's the only one that matters.
