What would you tell your younger self? I thought about this and the first thing that came to mind was relax you’re on the right track. Well just most of the time. When I look back at my life I realize that I wouldn’t have changed many things. With that in mind I decided to write myself a note.
Dear younger Andrea,
Make sure God is an integral part of your life. It doesn’t mean you have to live in church and be religious , it just means you have to be spiritual and have faith. Faith is going to be very important and without it you won’t be able to do many of the things you want to do in life. Life is going to be fine and in many ways great. Don’t worry, don’t let anxiety take you as a hostage. Let go and take the chance, make the leap, the net will appear. #faithgreaterthanfear. If you don’t achieve all you want it doesn’t mean you are a failure, it just means you have fail at a few projects and that’s part of life. Life goes on. Pick yourself up, brush yourself off and go do your thing.
Learn to do nothing, you don’t always have to be busy. Being busy doesn’t mean that things get done. Being busy very often is just a show. Working ungodly hours will make you sick and it’s not worth it. Relax and live your life. Learn to really enjoy your life and make sure you enjoy life. Don’t let anyone tell you to stop partying and traveling. Stop when you are good and ready. It might not be cheap but it’s your money. Save as much as you can and invest. It will be needed later. Money is very important. Extremely important. Without it you won’t have many of the creature comforts of life that you like and crave. 😉
Read as much as you can and be a constant learner. Any subject that you like go learn it as you have done before. Learning on your own will be needed as the world will change before your eyes and if you don’t keep up you will become a dinosaur. Not good at all, not good at all. Technology is the way to go. Embrace it.
Make friends as you go along the way but remember to keep some of those that you started out with. They will keep you grounded and have your back. Keep the energy vampires at bay they are not friends. When they show you themselves the first time believe them, because that’s the real person not what the mask shows. Don’t have anyone tell you what to do when you know deep down that it’s not you. What others want to do is on them not you. Don’t let them lead you as if you have a nose ring. You are not cattle. Stand up for yourself. If you don’t no one else will.
Always remember family is important and continue to honor your parents, not because the Bible says so but because it’s the right thing to do. However give only as much of yourself that you want and not what others want. If you don’t draw that line they will drain you. Yes they are family and you didn’t choose them but you have to be you.
Don’t let fear stop you from putting yourself out there. Love even if you are scared. You shouldn’t shut yourself off because you are afraid. Don’t shut yourself off if you get hurt. It will be ok. It’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Well that’s what I think and so will you. It’s what life is about. Life will be great and it’s to be enjoyed.
In conclusion be yourself and you will be good. 🙌🏽.
Love
Andrea
What would you say to your younger self? Would you warn of the pitfalls and the highlights or just let you do what has to be done? Let me know as I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife #gratefulforlife.
