10 things I want to tell myself in the past:
1. Believe in yourself.
Please once and for all, believe in yourself. Sometimes you only think that you can't. You'll never know what would happen until you try. Stop jumping into conclusion, start believing in yourself for good.
2. You are loved.
Please don't ever think that no one loves you. God, your family, and your true friends love you so much. And someday someone will love you just the way you are.
3. Listen and follow.
Please don't just listen, learn to follow. You know they are right. You're just used of being stubborn. Open your door for correction and always have a room for improvement.
4. Keep calm and relax.
Please don't pressure yourself too much. Don't set high standards you can't even reach. You're not a superhero. It is nice to be the best version of yourself, but take your time. You deserve a peaceful life.
5. Forgive and let go.
Learn to forgive yourself and others. God forgives you even he knew you will continue to make mistakes. Unforgiving heart only makes you miserable not the person you hate. Let go of all your pains and failures in the past. But don't forget the lessons you learned from them.
6. Take chances.
Do everything you can while you still have time, strength and ability to do it. You can never tell if there will be second chances. Always grab the opportunity, especially if its the last. Remember regret is always at the end.
7. Don't be selfish.
Reach for your dreams and follow your heart. But don't focus on yourself too much. Don't let other people put you down. But never put your best foot forward to step on someone else. Celebrate for other people's achievement but never compare yourself.
8. Always give your best.
Life is too short. Always give your 100%. Give your heart in everything you do. Show your love. Share your joy. Smile, laugh, and cry (if needed). Remember You Only Live Once but be careful on selecting which path you take.
9. Continue the race.
Be contented of what you have but don't stop running the race. Never stop trying until you succeed. Don't lose hope. Who knows, your only have one step to the finished line.
10. Choose the things that will last.
Always choose the things that will last forever: Hope, Peace, and Love. Choose people and relationships over material things and pride. Put God in the center of your life and enjoy living the life that he gave you, according to his plans. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)
