It's an interesting concept to wonder what one would say to their younger self because would we be the same future-version if we didn't go through the past? Going back and advising oneself could change the outcome of the future which could mean one doesn't indeed go back from the future to the past in the first place. Headache-inducing.
Still, I like the advice you'd offer your 30 year old self. At 30...Well, I was coming out of a series of situations that ultimately shaped my life and helped me become the man I am today...I'm not sure if I'd offer myself advice...Maybe just count to ten before acting.
Thanks for joining in and your kind words.
If I had had the ability to listen to my future self, or my higher self, at 30, then I would have become the person I am today, and I would not have needed the horrific events that ensued in order to push me to this point of growth. I would prefer the growth without the pain, obviously. And I dispute it is possible.
I think we're all the same in that. I've been through a lot...It's been a journey. Forged by fire seems a good description. I'd rather it wasn't so.
