Quotes by Emilie Wapnick (?)

“Multipotentialites tend to struggle with three main areas: work, productivity, and self-esteem.”
― Emilie Wapnick, How to Be Everything: A Guide for Those Who (Still) Don't Know What They Want to Be When They Grow Up

“The truth is that you aren’t lacking a destiny or purpose. There is a very good reason for your insatiable curiosity: you’re someone who’s going to shake things up, create something novel, solve complex, multidimensional problems, make people’s lives better in your own unique way. Whatever your destinies are, you can’t step into them while stifling your multipotentiality. You must embrace it and use it.”
― Emilie Wapnick, How to Be Everything
