Allowed Quote by Anonymous
“YOU ARE ALLOWED. You are allowed to have confidence in crazy ideas. You are allowed to sign your own permission slip. You are allowed to stop researching and start experimenting. You are allowed to try things before you fully understand them. You are allowed to define your own success. You are allowed to start many things and not finish them. You are allowed to figure out how to do the work without doing the part you don't like. You are allowed to push your comfort boundaries. You are allowed to fail a lot. You are allowed to push yourself harder than you ever have before. You are allowed to invent a new way to do it. You are allowed to make work feel like play. You are allowed to love what you do and the way you do it. YOU ARE ALLOWED.”
