Things I Will Tell My Future Self!

I turned a year older last week (don't ask how old), and I took some time to reflect on my past, present, and future.

Often I have heard people say, "Things I wish I told my younger self," but then my younger self is in the past, and I need to deal with my future. So I figured I should talk to my future self.

With age comes a great deal of experience and learning, I may not be as experienced as many of you here, but I have learned quite a bit and walked with people who have walked this path before.

So here are ten things I am telling my future self;

1. Take risks. Sometimes they can lead to beautiful places.

2. Speak your mind more often.

3. Take some time off; there is no trophy for killing yourself.

4. Surround yourself with positive energies only.

5. Be kind to everyone and, most importantly, to yourself.

6. Be selfish sometimes. It's OK.

7. Be more adventurous; there is so much to see.

8. Trust your sixth sense; it's your little guiding angel.

9. Smile often, engage in things that make you laugh.

10. Be YOU, Be Authentic, and have no apologies.

If the past two years have taught us anything, it is "we should be grateful for life, we should treasure life and, we should live life!
