Now & Then
A lot can happen during the work of a PhD journey.
You might face challenges that seemed too big to overcome. You could have realised after weeks of work that you were at a dead end and would need to start again. You could make mistakes, fail or need a break to get your thoughts together.
That was then.
Now you know more. Now you know better.
Now you’re not perfect! But you are good.
You have learned a lot and done a lot. You might still feel some of the things that you felt during your PhD like a lack of confidence or a lack of capability.
It might not be simple, but try to remember that there is a big difference between now and then.
In a very real sense you are where you are now because of what you did then.
