Good afternoon, IndiaUnited community, I hope you are having a beautiful week.

A new week and a new dynamic in which I participate. They keep surprising us with more thought-provoking questions. If you wish to participate, here's the link for more info.

Let's begin.

If You Could Meet Your Younger Self, What Would You Say?

What a question, I started thinking about so many things that have happened to me, both good and bad, and maybe it's not entirely necessary to tell him all of that.

Yes, I would give him advice and encouragement to keep pursuing his dreams. I don't know if I would tell them all my mistakes, because I believe that if I hadn't lived those experiences, I wouldn't have learned anything and, therefore, I wouldn't have those lessons to apply in my life.

I also don't think I should tell him about the most difficult mistakes, at least those that, over time, have helped me become a better person. Maybe I would tell him to try to be kinder and show his affection to the family members who are no longer with us.

While as a child I enjoyed many things with them, I think it wouldn't hurt to express it explicitly, as they say, if you don't say or express it, the other person will never find out.

I would also tell her to start working, whatever it is, helping in a supermarket, selling something, because that will help her develop great skills that she will need in the future. And to keep attending all those classes he had because they will be very useful to him.

Additionally, I would encourage her from a very early age to step out of her comfort zone, to get excited about doing things like public speaking, but to start little by little. I would tell her to take risks and encourage her a lot to do it, because sometimes it's easy to say it, but I would give her examples or say something convincing so she wouldn't hesitate to do it.

Since I already know myself, hehe, I might even tell her that I'm her future self, although she might get a little scared, but then I think she would understand a bit more and take into account the advice I have to give her.

Above all, I think I would tell her many beautiful things: that she is a great person and that she will achieve great things, but that she must have a life plan and strive to fulfilll it, doing her part to make it easier to reach her goals.

I think the last thing I would tell her is that I love her very much and that she should never give up. If she needs to rest or take a break, she should do it, but then come back with even more determination.

¿Wara, estás ahí?

Buenas tardes comunidad de IndiaUnited, espero que estén teniendo una hermosa semana.

Una nueva semana y nueva dinámica en la que participo. Cada vez nos sorprenden con preguntas más reflexivas. Si deseas participar, te dejo el link para más info.

Iniciemos.

Si pudieras encontrarte con tu yo más joven, ¿qué le dirías?

Vaya pregunta, me puse a pensar en tantas cosas que me han pasado, tanto buenas como malas y quizá no sea del todo necesario contarle todo eso.

Sí le daría consejos y ánimos para que siga persiguiendo sus sueños. No sé si le contaría todos mis errores, porque considero que, si no hubiera vivido esas experiencias, no habría aprendido nada y, por ende, no tendría esos aprendizajes para aplicar en mi vida.

Tampoco creo que deba contarle los errores más difíciles, al menos aquellos que, con el tiempo, me han ayudado a ser mejor persona. Quizá sí le diría que trate de ser más amable y demuestre su cariño a los familiares que ya no están con nosotros.

Si bien de niña disfruté muchas cosas con ellos, creo que no estaba de más expresarlo de manera explícita, como dicen, si no lo dices o expresas, la otra persona nunca se enterará.

También le diría que empiece a trabajar, de lo que sea, ayudando en un supermercado, vendiendo algo, porque eso sí le ayudará a desarrollar grandes habilidades que necesitará en el futuro. Y que siga yendo a sus tantas clases que tenía porque le servirán mucho.

Además, la alentaría desde muy temprano a salir de su zona de confort, que se anime a hacer cosas como hablar en público, pero que empiece poco a poco. Le diría que se arriesgue y le daría muchos ánimos para que lo haga, porque a veces es fácil decirlo, pero le daría ejemplos o le diría algo convincente para que no dude en hacerlo.

Como ya me conozco, jeje, quizá hasta le diría que soy yo misma del futuro, aunque podría asustarse un poco, pero luego creo que comprendería un poco más y tomaría en cuenta los consejos que tengo para darle.

Sobre todo, creo que le diría muchas cosas bonitas: que es una gran persona y que logrará grandes cosas, pero que debe tener un plan de vida y esforzarse por cumplirlo, poniendo de su parte para que sea más fácil alcanzar sus objetivos.

Creo que lo último que le diría es que la amo mucho y que nunca se dé por vencida, si necesita descansar o hacer una pausa, que lo haga, pero que después vuelva con más ganas.
