What I Know Now: Letters to My Younger Self

I read this one in Barnes & Noble one afternoon and found lots of tidbits of good advice to share.

“You should be cooking on all four burners.” Brenna Clarke

 

“It’s time to be bold about who you really are.” Ann Curry

 

“Don’t let your emotional needs go begging. Sometimes you can’t explore the thoughts and fears and ideas on your own…” Carolyn Deaver

 

“At 21, your boyfriend is making you cry. At 30, you’ll say about your marriage, it couldn’t be more perfect.” Rebecca Lobo

 

“Work should not be work. You should love your job.” Mary Matalin

 

“The key elements in life are time and people. What are you spending your time on and whom are you spending it with. Every minute t hat goes by can’t be reclaimed, relieved or reworked.” Trish McEvoy

 

“Guilt doesn’t listen to a rational argument- you only know what you know of life at any given point. You can’t beat yourself up for what you should have done if you weren’t equipped with the knowledge at the time.” Shelly Morrison

 

“Live the life that would complete you- one of purpose and passion and always the intention to make a difference.” Marilyn Nelson Carlson
