If you could call yourself from 10 years ago, what would you say?

I think I have shared here in one of my discussions that if there's something I would like to change in myself, that would be overthinking. So if this impossible thing could happen and I'd be able to reach myself back from 10 years ago, I'd say... "Take more risks and embrace new opportunities without overthinking them." Now I've come to realize, life's too short to play it safe all the time. Every opportunity missed due to overthinking is a potential adventure left unexplored. So yeah, that's what I'd say if I could chat with my past self. I believe its never too late to make the life I want for myself. I still have enough time to become all I want to be in this life.

I wouldn't change a thing. The mistakes I made ten years ago, helped me become the person I am today.

I would suggest to myself to spend more time with my mother, I would miss her when she is no more.

@pitsipeahie Absolutely, you always think you will have "more time" in the future, but this never happens.

It's inspiring to hear your determination to make the most of your life and to become the person you want to be. Indeed, it's never too late to pursue your dreams, challenge yourself, and create the life you desire. Your journey towards personal growth and fulfillment is ongoing, and each step you take towards embracing opportunities and taking risks brings you closer to realizing your aspirations. Keep believing in yourself and trusting in your ability to navigate life's uncertainties with resilience and determination. Your willingness to embrace change and pursue your passions is a powerful testament to your strength and resilience.
