If I could give any advice to my younger self, I would tell my younger self to stay out of trouble, take life a little more seriously because you don't want going to reach middle age and have any type of regrets. So I think I would just tell my younger self to just definitely stay out of trouble. Don't get me any trouble with police. Don't go to jail. Don't do anything like that and take your life a little more seriously

Put all your money in Apple in 1998. Okay, jokes aside, I think it would simply be more perseverance, less arrogance

I think I would tell myself to enjoy the ride, to relax and not take everything so seriously. Because life is about change. Nothing is ever going to be permanent. So enjoy every moment while it lasts. And don't be so hard on yourself

So yeah, I know this is quite long, but if someone out there needs advice and stuff, I would probably say that not only to myself but to other people right now, who explains experiencing like, they're growing up and they don't know what influences to latch on to and stuff like that. So Yeah

I would advise my younger self and I'm still a young parent. I mean young father with young children. I would advise myself to enjoy, enjoy, and have fun with them a lot more, giving my time with my children because once they are getting older and they have their own time, their own friends. And you might miss all that fun times with the children. So I would advise myself to really enjoy with the children while they are still young kids. Heats and that's it
Explore those things you love while you're young before you make that decision and learn, take some classes here and there and learn some things if you'd like. But there's so many available resources today that weren't available to me. I'm going to be 50 years old soon, and the resources that are out there for you guys today are a lot better

I would give myself the following advice. Use your lessons from the past in the now to create yourself a better future. But the most important thing be in the present because the only thing we have is the now

Three things I would say to my younger self. Give up hurrying, worrying and caring what others think about you. By giving up hurrying, you allow yourself to synchronistically, be in the right place at the right time and enjoy the now giving up worrying? Is it allowing yourself not to use your imagination to create things you do not want? Instead, use your imagination to create things you do want it's and then not Caroline. What others think about you allows you to really, truly become yourself

I think the biggest thing I would tell myself is do whatever it takes. And I mean, whatever it takes to stop looking at pornography, it simply isn't worth it
Definitely listen to your parents more because listening to your parents and older people who have been where you have not been yet can give you wisdom. Wisdom comes with time. Cherish what is most important? The air that we breathe, the sun that we can see, the moon that we see at night. Take the little things that we take for granted more seriously as important elements of your life
I think the first thing I would tell myself is to take things a little less seriously. But the main thing is to listen to my head and not my heart. Listening to your heart gets you in trouble. Listening to your head is where you want to go in life. That's what I tell myself

The advice that I would give my younger self would be to not look for yourself in a mirror. Don't worry so much about your weight or what you look like or how you compare to images in the media. Instead, look for yourself in nature and immerse yourself in it and get to know your place in it because that is what we'll give you a true sense of who you are in the universal sense, and it will carry you far

Mostly don't help, especially when it's negativity and doubt, because you'd be a lot farther long if you were to just keep going where you want to go in the first place. Yeah, that's pretty much the main thing I'd say. Thank you. Also, when people say, hey, you got to be yourself, man. Be yourself. Don't worry about it. These people trying to get you to do what they think the world is supposed to be

When I was growing up, there was an expression. Don't get mad. Just get even. I would change that to just get even with the people who have been good to you. No sense in getting even with the people who you think of Scrooge
Howie Rubin
@Howie · 0:39
There are a couple of things that I would like to advise. My younger self. Number one is to go with your gut. Don't procrastinate, don't overthink it. Just go with your gut. It is usually the right thing to do. Do. Secondly, when I was growing up, there was an expression that went like, don't get mad. Just get even. I would absolutely positively change that to the only people that you have to get even with

Retro Hipster
@Retro_Hipster · 3:15
And I did that because I didn't put myself my wellbeing, as something that mattered enough. So yeah. So if I was to tell myself and my younger self or really any younger person is to, like, really think about what the consequences of making a compromise will be and then assume that the impact of that compromise is actually just going to feel worse as time goes on, not better
Taha Abbas
@taha_oracle · 2:29
It not worrying about anything. And I think almost everyone will agree that deep down, we all long to return to our mother's womb, to that eternal peace, that bliss, that love, unconditional love. So, yeah, I feel that giving an advice is not so different from a parent telling the child to do something. It's sort of like reverse psychology. The child usually does the opposite
