I would tell myself :
Trust yourself and your judgment, believe in your abilities.
Don’t sweat the small things, that will not be life transforming.
Use your resources to build.
Comfortable is a nice place, but not the desired location. Keep improving. Keep it moving!!!
I would tell myself to stop wasting my time on “friends” who don’t care about me. I would tell myself to write out my goals in detail. And I would tell myself that everything happens for a reason, even if the reason isn’t clear now.
Hi Scarlett, I totally agree! I used to try to make other people happy who weren’t really my “friends” and would waste so much time thinking about how they felt instead of how I felt.
I would tell myself to:
•try to make the best of those times that don’t go your way or are not the best.
•go with the flow, don’t stress the little things too much.
•count to 10 when you feel like your about to explode 💥 from stress, anger, frustration. Just stay calm.
I would tell myself, don’t waste time with people who don’t care about you. To trust the people who do care about me. And that do what you love, not what people think you love.
I would tell myself: Never get comfortable with your current situation. Not being satisfied with your current state is this best way to not lose motivation.
What an awesome word for this morning! This is the season when many people say it’s their goal to eat better, exercise, etc. but the first hiccup throws folks off track
I have been guilty of this. But, we only get one day at a time, if we slip up, that day is behind us when we are blessed with another day to get it right.
I love celebrating my birthday because I feel God has given me another chance to get the things I might not have done my best at …done right!
I love the THINK acronym- however there is a power struggle with applying it in lieu of remaining silent in the face of a potential problem situation
It is all in how we react
Regarding the advice I would give my 2017-2018 self would be to trust my decisions as Loris stated. Let other people handle their issues- if I didn’t cause it, cannot control it or cure the issue then I will not get caught up in the issue. I would tell myself to stick to that process and focus on what I have control over.
Please note that I do mot apply this when people are genuinely in need due to circumstances out of their control like the Pandemic
I would also tell my self that life is too short to waste on things I do mot love
Hi Eileen! I agree and I love the THINK acronym too. But that is a great point that in potential problem situations the acronym might not be the best thing to follow.
Wisdom that I would tell my younger self is that things will work out if you work hard enough at then. I would tell myself that things will not always get better in a day so you should not give up on them if they don’t seem to improve quickly.
I would tel myself:
1.) You can only change you. Don’t waste energy trying to change people who you can’t change and who don’t want to change.
2.) God is your provider. When you don’t know how it’s going to work out, take a deep breath then give it to Him and watch how He’ll show up.
3.) Take time to feed your soul, learn, and grow. You are what you eat isn’t only for food. What you watch and listen to will shape you so choose wisely.
Hi Claryce! I love your insight about the phrase “you are what you eat”. I never considered applying that phrase to a broader scope of our lives, but it is so true about what we consume shaping us.
Something I would have told my younger self is to stop wasting time. I would tell her to use time to advantage and make the most out of it because it goes by fast. I would also tell me younger self to have goals and write them down and to do everything she can to accomplish them. One last thing I would say is to not stress about the little things and live life freely.
I agree, I believe my younger self was not as motivated and not as willing to sacrifice time and energy to really put in the work and reach for my goals
I would trll my younger self to live in the moment. Enjoy those times that will not return again.
I would tell myself that things certainly won’t be easy, but that I have the strength and resilience to keep pushing on. Most things won’t go according to the “plan”, but will give you perspective and circumstances will change in positive ways you’d never expect. It’s impossible to recognize the highs without experiencing the lows. You have the potential to be so many things- be curious and keep going! (Advice for my current self as well)
I would tell myself that to achieve what you want us actually in your reach and you have the ability to do it. I would also say don’t second guess yourself and for anything you really want you have to work towards it everyday.
I would tell myself to be patient and to work on the things that I can control. Plus, I would say not to worry about the little things in life and to be grateful for what I have.
I would tell myself to be as confident as possible and to understand what other people go through a little more.
I would tell my three year younger self to use their time wisely, and focus on what you love instead of what you think you are supposed to do and like. Though I think I wouldn’t have understood these things three years ago, as I was too focused in trying to have “fun” and being “cool”. I would also tell myself to surround myself with the right people as I was surrounded by people who didn’t encourage things like excellence and being the best. I was stuck between choosing between academically excellent friends I had and the people I thought were cool. I would try to explain to my 3 year younger self that I would have a head start over the other people still caught up on being “cool” and trying to waste their time in the name of fun if if I were to work extremely hard on the right things. And i would explain that if I were to work hard on the right things, I could create a extremely large skill gap from my piers that would help me reach greatness and put me on the right path.
I would say….
Today is the day you have been preparing for yesterday
Go for the next limit
Reach for your goals
I would tell my younger self to start working on time management skills now. I was pretty confident in my ability to do well at the end of my 8th-grade year, but if I had developed time management skills for smaller projects I had then, I could have better understood my best way to work for bigger projects I have now.
I would also tell myself that I don’t have to change myself to fit the expectations others have of me or what want from me.
And lastly, since this was my last semester in middle school, I would tell myself to have fun with it, and not be too nervous about high school.
I would tell myself:
What you seek to procrastinate upon cannot be avoided, it can only be delayed while casting shadows over your life.
For all the time you waste, there is someone working hard to succeed. If you continue on your path, the person who worked will outgrow you.
Focus on what matters.
I would tell my 3 years younger self:
Study before your tests!!!!
But, also make sure you don’t waste your time doing stuff that doesn’t really help you.
Still, make sure you relax sometimes, life isn’t all about work.
I would tell
1. Live in the present so you can do your 100% today. Don’t worry about what might happen tomorrow. Doing your best today will help in making a better tomorrow.
2. Give with Love and take with Gratitude. Live in Gratitude every moment of your life.
3. Use THINK filter before you speak.
1) Ask for what you want.
2) Fear is not a wall, it’s a door go through it.
3) Show up. Jesus fought the battle and won.
I am getting better every day even though it is hard to see the small changes. Every though is not to be spoken. I am grateful for this Tribe.
I would tell myself to slow down, enjoy the kids, they’re only this age once. Also, it’s ok to say no.
I would tell my self to stop wasting time on technology do my work on time so I don’t get overwhelmed. I would tell my self to take my goals for this year more serious I would tell my self to get 8 h of sleep everyday.
Everyday you get to reset, the past isn’t meant to be dwelled on making success. There would not be any progress with that mindset. Everyday, we can become better through learning and adjusting from what happened in the past. Life is like that way, life keeps moving on. We can either hinder and better our future.
3 years ago i would tell myself to embrace the process of being uncomfortable while taking risks its onky growth. And focus more on developing consistent positive habits that will get you where you need to go.
