I will discuss some advice I would give my younger self if I had a time machine and could go back in time.
The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been. — Madeleine L’Engle, an American writer
Sharing lessons with your younger self is a reflective and imagined exercise. It helps selflessly nurture the growth of the person you once were.
This exercise can help you impart wisdom and guidance to others based on your experiences.
“Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forwards.” — Søren Kierkegaard, a Danish theologian and philosopher
It centers around the idea that you can travel back in time armed with the knowledge and insights you have gained over the years.
You can offer advice to help you navigate challenges, make better decisions, and appreciate each step of your life’s journey.
“Youth is wasted on the young.” — George Bernard Shaw, an Irish playwright and critic

About: In this video, Matthew Royse from Knowledge Enthusiast shares his advice to his younger self. While you can’t go back in time, reflecting on these life lessons can be powerful. I encourage you to do so. Reflection can help you with self-discovery and personal growth. It can help you appreciate how far you have come and reinforce the idea that growth is a continuous process throughout life. By sharing advice with your younger self, you can pass along your valuable wisdom and perspective to others so they can avoid unnecessary struggles, navigate life’s twists and turns with more confidence and resilience, and find life’s purpose sooner.
