What would your younger self say to your older self?

If you could fast forward 20-30 years, what would you tell your older self? Here are some nuggets to say to yourself when you get wrinkles of wisdom:

“You are the most valuable person who deserves kindness, love and respect.” If you cherish and value your own soul and the time you have remaining on earth, you will overflow with abundance to give to others.

“Other people’s opinions of you don’t mean anything.” If other people say good things about you, great! If you have toxic people in your life, subtract them. However, only you can define yourself. Worrying too much about what others think and letting their opinions define you will ultimately rob you of your self-worth.

“Take time to smell the roses.” Regardless of your health status right now or in the future, always find time to enjoy the little things and find reasons to be grateful. Don’t let the hustle and bustle of life make you forget what’s really important.

“Let it go.” Are you harboring any grudges or regrets? Have you forgiven yourself and others? Let go of any negative thinking, bad memories and experiences. The past is history, and tomorrow is not guaranteed. Don’t let yesterday infect your today.

“Live your dreams.” What’s on your bucket list? Accomplish everything on that list and let nothing stop you! One of the top regrets of the elderly is that they refrained from doing what they really wanted due to fear or some other excuse. It’s okay to have more than one dream. Just do what you want and be alive!

“It’s never too late.” As long as you have breath in your nostrils, it’s never too late to make every day worth living. Surround yourself with other dreamers who not only just list goals but also accomplish them as well. Be inspired and be the inspiration.
