What I would tell my 25 year old self?
Recently one of my adult grandkids asked me this question. I told her I would answer her after I though about it a bit. The next evening I read her and her two siblings this:
This is what I would tell my 25 year old self?
Be kind to others and in particular to strangers.
Family is much more important than work.
Take your relationship with God much more seriously than you have, and believe that God loves you unconditionally.
Work hard to remove anger from your life, be quick to forgive others, and learn not to be offended by anyone or anything.
Work at learning that being humble is the way to a flourishing life.
Give your devices a rest often, and talk to those you care about face to face.
Finally, don’t spend anytime worrying about the past, it is done and gone, the future will take care of itself, spend all your energy and time in the present, loving your family and friends, helping those who need help including strangers, playing hard, learning and performing well in school, work, and volunteering, and spend quality time talking to God.
