Yalitza Aparicio Quotes

I have never planned my life.

Stop living a day at a time and stop worrying about age.

Map out your future - but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip.

I've never looked ahead very much in my life. I've never had any grand plan from the outset. I had no burning ambition to do what I do.

I don't really sit there and think, 'What would I like my life to be?'

I have to say, I've never been the girl that's had the five-year plan, the 10-year plan, and I'm still not.

In any case, I am not a great one to make plans for the future.

Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.

I've never had a plan for the future.

Some ideas, like what you're going to do with your life, take time to form.

Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement.

I think that everyone at any age should ask themselves, 'where do I want to be today, where do I want to be tomorrow, and where do I want to be in a hundred years?' We all have clear answers to those questions. We only have so much time. It's a real shame if we don't spend our lives trying to do that.

I have to be self-conscious of what I'm trying to do with my life.

I had money, but I still didn't know what to do with my life.

I am not bothered about my career graph, as I am someone who doesn't believe in planning things.

I don't dream. I'm not a person who makes a list of things that need to happen in my life. It just evolves, and you roll with the punches.

I enjoy what I'm doing at the moment and try not to think too much about the future.

I'm not someone who likes having a master plan for everything, but I do believe in a vision for your life.

I don't plan, because everything goes against my plans anyways. There's absolutely no point in planning anything. I'm just enjoying the moment. I'm meeting with a whole lot of people - casting directors, directors, agents. I have things going on everywhere, but I have no solid plans.

The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while and watch your answers change.

I don't set goals. Like, that's what I want to be doing however many years from now. I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes.

I'm starting to think about my life, thinking about where I'm going to be in three years time: who I'm going to be with, where I'm going to be situated myself.

I feel prematurely old. I'm actually having this major belated quarter-life crisis. I'm turning 30 in a couple of weeks. I've been thinking a lot about mortality. A lot about what I'm going to do with my life and how to enjoy it. One of the things I'm going to work on is being more spontaneous, letting go, embracing the beauty of come-what-may.

Don't worry about planning every step of your life.

No matter what we're trying to accomplish in life, or what career path we're trying to take, sometimes we get caught up and lose perspective on what's important in life.
