RE: If Only! A Letter to My 21 Year Old Self

in #life7 years ago

Glad I finally got around to reading this :-)

Just like Eric's letter I had a couple of points really resonate with me.

This one is definitely one I would say to my 21 year old self.

Not everyone will like you, and actually this is not a loss since popularity isn’t necessary for your life-path. No need to waste precious time or energy on trying to win people over. Instead focus on those with whom you come alive and know that the people who love you will do so fiercely, and with great heart. You will always be rich in friends.

Ha, yeah I probably wouldn't have listened, though I might have done if the advice came from me in the future!

Save more money than you think you need to. It gives you options and is empowering.
Yes everyone says it but I know you won’t listen to them, so I’m telling you also.

Yuuuuuuupppppp!!!!

A 9-5 job will never work for you so just stop thinking you should just get a real job. Instead use that energy to make your work soar.

I'm going to have to do one now, Eric's one scared me a bit for some reason, but now I think I'm ready :-D

I like hearing about what specifically resonated with you and YES DO ONE!!!
