A lot of things I didn't know while younger, lessons I learnt the hard way. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would make better choices as my younger self,we live, we learn.

Advices I would give to my younger self

I should not fear failure. One of the problems I faced being my younger self was that I was scared of failure, this didn't make me explore and search for deeper goals, I didn't dream big, I just make do with what I have. I settled for less, now I know I deserve better.

The doubting mind of if I do this what will happen if I do that what will happen, instead of taking the risks and see how it will turn out. To my younger self I will say take risks, if it out turns out good you win, if it turns out bad, you learn.

To love myself first and not allow people's opinion to determine my well being. To embrace my uniqueness. I will advice my younger self to focus on things that are truly important and not bother myself too much on things that I cannot change.

I could remember how I overthink about difficult situations, that affected my mental health, if I knew that letting difficult situations to slide sometimes is okay, it will only be for a while and before you know it, it's all balanced again.

I would tell my younger self to create boundaries, healthy ones, part of the things I struggled with was not knowing when to say "yes" or "no", I didn't want to offfend anyone. I just do things to please people without minding my own feelings.

Thanks for checking on my blog

Having a fear of failure is a great obstacle in human development.
Taking people ahead of you is another.

The greatest of all is FEAR.
It is a destroyer of destiny and vision.

Truly fear is a great obstacle that hinders a lot of achievement,one just needs to be more daring about choices and silence the voice or fear. I have learnt to make myself a priority now. Thanks for stopping by.

It's very important to overcome this obstacle called fear of failure otherwise an individual can't achieve what they wanna achieve in life easily. They are not ready to face the challenges and always fall behind in my opinion... Some good and useful insights you have shared with us, it will be really helpful for future generations...

Thanks for your participation...
