Advice to my younger self

I was recently asked a simple question and I was thankful for the opportunity to think about that question, it was a meaningful exercise. Only wish I had a time machine to actually do it!

​My advice would be...

Be fearless about almost anything, especially in opening your heart. Most often saying yes to life will pay off more than saying no. Trust the unknown to surprise you and delight you. Don’t ignore the intuitive guidance you are getting just because you don’t understand it or are afraid. 
Stop putting yourself down, expecting yourself to be perfect, trying to please others, and thinking that you are the thoughts you have about yourself. You are not your identity, so surrender to your highest self and the highest consciousness. Your true self is greater, more magnificent, more powerful, and more amazing than you can imagine. It is not arrogance so learn to trust, honor, and love yourself.
