Follow your own advice

Years ago, someone asked me a question that changed my life, and it is time for it to change my life again.

They said, “If you had to give a speech to high school graduates, what would your message be?” My response was, “Fear will try to stop you. Go anyways.” At that moment, I realized that the only reason I wasn’t taking action on what I wanted was because I was scared. That was the day I decided to move toward my dream, and it changed everything.

Today, I find myself scared again, so I am listening to the words of wisdom I gave myself 14 years ago. I don’t need to learn more stuff or become more certain, I need to do what I already know to do.

I share this because often, we need to be reminded of what we know, not learn something new. We need to listen to our own advice and take our own medicine.

What if you just listened to your own advice instead of waiting for someone or something else to make your decision?
