Less than 2% of the population has a PhD.
That’s because they’re hard.
But pause to reflect on why they’re hard.
You’re adding to a field. You’re creating new knowledge and pushing the boundaries of what we know. That’s never easy.
Anyone can learn what other people have already discovered. Anyone can regurgitate information. That’s easy.
What isn’t easy is bringing new knowledge into the world.
What’s even harder is doing it in this current time of crisis, facing considerable adversity.
You’re smarter, more capable and more gifted than you may give yourself credit for. Keep showing up, cut yourself some slack and remind yourself how capable you really are.
Good luck and have a great week.
