WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO YOUR YOUNGER SELF?

There’s really only a few things I would tell my younger self. 

1. LIVE IN THE MOMENT

  Don’t get caught up in the difficulties you are facing, everything is temporary. Stop looking for more, it will come to you. When I was younger I was never satisfied. Nothing was ever enough. I genuinely believe it blinded me from the beautiful things that were right in front of my face. Have fun while you are young. Go out with your friends, experience new things, fall in love, get your heart broken. Everything in life is a lesson, good or bad. Endure moments and have an open perspective to everything. There will come a time in your life where you will have an epiphany. You will be inspired by a pivotal event that will completely open your perspective, and make you evolve beyond what you have ever been. Don’t feel the need to rush it. Live while you are young. The most beautiful things come when you stop looking for them.

2. BE YOURSELF. 

Everyone will always have an opinion on you no matter what you do so you might as well do what you want. Don’t let what other people think about you affect you. If you have a dream, go and chase it.Keep that dream close to you and hold on to it. I have always been a dreamer and whenever I would open up and tell people about the things I wanted they would always shut it down. People don’t like to listen to things that they think they can’t do. Believe in yourself. Dream so big that it makes other people uncomfortable. Do it for you and prove yourself right. In the end that’s all that matters.

3. RECOGNIZE THE POWER YOU HOLD, AND USE IT FOR THE GREATER GOOD.

You have a voice. People will listen to you. They will follow you. Guide them in the right direction. I have always been a leader and never second guessed myself. Care for others just as much as you care for yourself. Notice that you can make people better too. When I was young I was selfish. I only cared about myself when it came down to it. It wasn’t until this past year where I noticed how much of an impact I had on the people I surround myself with. If they are shining I am too. MAKE PEOPLE WANT TO BE BETTER. NOBODY'S PERFECT AND THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY TO IMPROVE. INSPIRE & MOTIVATE THEM.
