What I’d Tell Myself

One of the cool things I like about Facebook is ‘On This Day’ (Memories). It’s feature that reminds you of an earlier post in the past. I find this to be a great way to grow in reflective wisdom. As I looked at an optimistic picture of myself coming into the year 2019, here’s a few things I would tell myself if I could:

• This year is not going to turn out the way you think. Embrace the ride.

• Identify your strengths and areas of growth. You’ll need to know what they are as you navigate change.

• Clarity is good, a clear conscience is better.

• You’ll be stretched and uncomfortable. It’s ok.

• Ask more questions, give less answers.

• Give more people room to share their wisdom with you.

• Identify your priorities and values. They’ll help your decision making process.

• People say never assume, but…assume there’s more than what you see and hear. Trust me, there is.

What would you tell your 2019 self?
