I wrote a review about the book Education, A Memoir by Tara Westover. This quote by her stands out as excellent advice and reflects how she approached her life.
“First, find out what you are capable of, then decide who you are.”
The quote describes what Tara Westover did with her life. She had to make the decisions on her own and take the steps on her own. She was capable of much more.
I also found this comment on the book’s inside cover:
“Educated is an account of the struggle for self-invention.”
This quote fascinated me because I wrote the book Why Life Stories Change: As You Look At Your Own Life Story, You See Yourself Differently.
