One piece of career advice that I received early in my career was to avoid overplanning. And it really helps me a lot to the point that I now share it with many others.

There’s nothing wrong with having an idea of where you want to go in your career. However, I’ve found a more interesting approach. Instead of focusing on a specific job, I look at what skills and experiences I want to gain. This means taking on challenges that are outside my comfort zone, like leading projects, tackling new responsibilities, or volunteering for tasks that others avoid. There are countless opportunities if you're willing to step up, to go further, understand what the opportunities are to keep it simple, to do it better, to connect more… to care about others.

I can say with confidence that you won't regret being open to new opportunities, exploring uncertainty, and learning new things. Experiences that take you out of your comfort zone often offer significant potential for growth.

If you are not afraid, you are probably not challenging yourself enough.

If you want to grow, I recommend starting a list of everything you genuinely desire, even if it seems impossible. Embrace these challenges as a journey into the unknown because in uncertainty lies the abundance of possibilities.
