What’s one thing you know now that would have saved your younger self a lot of pain?
What a great question that I have been answering unknowingly for >7 years 🤗🤗.
#1 is definitely: THIS WORLD IS NOT SOLELY FOR PLEASURES! I can almost hear my younger self disagreeing, with really solid arguments most of you are probably making right now as you read this 😂. Calm down your invincible feeling of youth and read the rest 😳🤓. Your youth may have been happening in one of the most fked up economic cycles humanity has introduced. Still, mine was much better and happier than the current one, so I thought I’d figured out how to live happily: feed your mind to make money, invest at the same time, and spend money on your well-being and happiness, including pleasure activities like partying 🤫🤭. I couldn’t realise how lucky I was because I was high on my youth and accomplishments, so I assume life wanted to show me that by giving me the most difficult life test of modern times = traumatic brain injury 🙄. So I learned that life isn’t linear, and hardships are part of life on earth, so forget about being happy and in a state of pleasure 24/7🤓. The sooner you make peace with that reality, the better you handle hardships 🤔
#2 Love is the most potent hard drug of humanity ever! Life is cyclical, and most people experience their first love before 21, right? It’s so powerful that it makes you do irrational things 🤷🏼♂️. I might have a solution for you: Journaling every day while you’re in a romantic relationship could help you review the decisions you made under the influence of a cocktail of emotions and neurochemicals🤭😂. Learn from your silly actions and decisions, since the first love usually comes to make you wiser. Nonetheless, we humans forget that wisdom and assume the second love is purely for joy and fun; thus, little wisdom applies because, again, the mistake is thinking life is about pleasure 😳😒. Each person who comes into your life has a purpose, depending on your actions and attitudes toward others 😉. Who knows what the third love’s purpose is?
#3? Tbc Btw, health is true wealth ♥️
