10 Pieces of Life Advice I’d Give My 18 Year Old Self 10 Years Ago🦋

1. this is your first time here. give yourself grace. forgive yourself often, quickly, and genuinely.

2. this is your parents first time too. they did the best they could with the information they had. forgive them and send them love.

3. those emotions you turned off are your superpower and actually catapult you into your success like willpower and sheer effort can’t.

4. you live in a spiritual and mental world that is out-pictured into the physical. seek God’s world first. stay focused on your dreams and your vision, the things only YOU can see.

5. you are deserving and worthy of unconditional love RIGHT NOW. the more unconditional love you give yourself, the more you attract people who will love you and themselves unconditionally. free love is God’s love.

6. you are not what the world has told you. you get to choose who you want to be. “choose you this day whom you shall serve.”

7. start learning more about who you are IMMEDIATELY. take 6 months to get to know you. invest in a course or mentor that focuses on internal knowledge and embodiment.

8. God gave everyone superpowers and yours are speaking, leading, and guiding. the thing you got in trouble for the most turns out to be your gift to Humanity.

9. God is not judgmental. God is not conditional. God is not a man in the sky nor a man in a book. God is within YOU. God is YOU. You is God. “I and my Father are One.”

10. your energy is unique and magnetic. just because people are interested in you does not always mean they have your best interest at heart. be mindful and use your discernment to navigate all the energies you inevitably come in contact with.

happy birthday baby girl🦋

may this day be a symbol of your rebirth. you chose to give the BIG You control over your consciousness and in turn, God chose you to experience beautiful things🩵✨

... Read moreReflecting on the advice given, one powerful insight is the importance of embracing grace—not only towards others but especially towards oneself. This principle of forgiving yourself often, quickly, and genuinely can transform the way you handle mistakes and setbacks, making healing and growth possible. Many people underestimate the impact of this compassionate self-acceptance on mental health and motivation. Another key element is the spiritual perspective shared: the idea that our mental and spiritual worlds precede our physical experiences. This approach encourages focusing on one’s dreams and inner visions, trusting in a greater plan and spiritual guidance. Recognizing that God is within us and not an external, judgmental figure invites a more intimate and empowering connection to faith. For those navigating youth or periods of uncertainty, this can provide a profound sense of purpose and belonging. The recommendation to invest six months in self-discovery is especially practical. Understanding who you are deepens your connection to your purpose and clarifies your path forward. This might involve engaging with mentors, courses, or introspective practices that nurture embodiment of values and strengths. It’s a reminder that personal growth is an active, ongoing journey rather than a passive occurrence. Lastly, the concept that the very traits once reprimanded—such as speaking up, leading, or guiding—are in fact your divine gifts to humanity resonates strongly. Embracing these innate superpowers can build confidence and direction, turning perceived flaws into strengths that shape your future impact. Alongside this, the advice to stay vigilant about people’s intentions respects the unique and magnetic energy each person holds, empowering wise relationship choices. Together, these lessons form a blueprint for anyone seeking to live authentically, with spiritual awareness and self-respect. By blending grace, self-love, spiritual insight, and personal empowerment, you lay a foundation for a fulfilled life full of meaningful connections and purpose-driven action.
