What would be your advice to your past self?

Question

Datboi65 · Accepted Answer

Patience. Have patience.

Things do not resolve overnight, and plans son't always come to fruition. You can work really hard on something that fails miserably, and you can spend minimal time on something that goes spectacularly.

Your plan for yourself is good, but God's plan for you is far greater. Never be upset over an outcome that didn't go your way, because it was never meant for you, and don't be too stressed over the future because you do not control your destiny. You should learn to accept that and have patience.

I know that not everyone here believes in God, but my words are to those that do. Have patience and faith. The dark clouds of uncertainty will pass and the sun will shine brighter than before.

Well this question has been asked numerous times , including by myself.

The advice differs with your current age funnily enough , so I would tell a 14 year old me..

1 . Invest , Invest , Invest and get involved in passive income. ( Much more difficult back then.)

2 . Stick with your sport , but its not becoming life/ death.

3 . Economics / Business / Accounting degree.

4 . Force your way into Funds management / Real estate.

5 . Buy appreciating assets , and make as much $$$ as you possibly can.

6 . Health and fitness , diet must be No 1 to carry out the rest.

7 . Association is everything , only associate with those upwardly mobile and educated.

There are more , but the general jist is clear.

You will make a lot of poor choices. Be prepared for the burn of learning. Take every opportunity as if it is the last. Enjoy every happy moment as if it is the last. Protect those you love with all you have. Stand up to bullies from the moment they start. Get motorcycles and learn to fly, you're always going to want to. Live and love as if there is no tomrorrow.

I would say to focus on your purposes and your education and don’t waste time lazing around and doing nothing. I went through a rebellion phase for 3 years where I did absolutely nothing other than hang out with friends and dine out at restaurants. Then I began my degree and became a normal productive citizen again.

I'd tell him to get some earplugs & protect his ears in environments where the db range exceeds 85db for an extended period of time. Because he's prone to inner hair &/or nerve cell damage for whatever reason.

Listen to your gut more - you were right about a lot of things. Dont be so stressed about money - you'll always have just enough. Dont forget how much strength you gain from solitude. You always have your inner dialogue and a rich inner world - never forget that is a blessing.
Leave home sooner - that place will almost kill you.

Don't leave God Don't abuse food Wait to have sex until marriage Smile more. It can attract all sorts of good people in your life Don't let fear control your decisions Try things. It's better to say it didn't work out as opposed to I'll never know.  Don't let the word "can't" be in your vocabulary. Your mind and body will believe it.  You are what you speak. Use your words wisely. Think before speaking.

I would advise myself, as a kid, to immediately stop acting like a retarded spaz. Then maybe the girl I was having occasional sexual activity with would have continued doing so, with a better attitude about me
