That there, in fact, was not a \u201cbest path to success\u201d\u2014and certainly that what is billed as the best path was done so by those too afraid of coloring outside of the lines. I wish I had been told that there is no shame in failing\u2014not once, not dozens of times. Those who innovate will inevitably fail because they\u2019re trying something new. I wish I\u2019d been told that having my own business was not just viable, but the best route for me, given my talents and constitution. But most of all, I wish I\u2019d been told that my value is not based on how much I perform or what I produce\u2014my value is a <\/span><b>given<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> because I\u2019m walking around on Earth: that\u2019s enough. Since you *<\/span><b>are<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">* in college still, I will tell you: don\u2019t get caught in that trap. No one cares about what you produce, only you. So relax on super-achieving and listen to the still, small voice in you that will, only when you listen, get you where you *<\/span><b>really<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">* want to go.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive Council Member Lizabeth Phelps, President of Inspired Leaders\u2019 Academy, shares what she wish she knew in college given her experience today.
