These are the things I would tell my younger self

@la_reid If I could talk to my younger self these are the things I would tell him. #lareid 🎥 @onthatnotes

2/21 Edited to

Looking back, if I could speak to my younger self, I would emphasize the importance of embracing creativity and persistence early on. Inspired by influential figures like L.A. Reid, Virgil Abloh, and IRI WES LANG, who each carved unique paths in their industries, the key lesson is to trust your vision and remain patient through challenges. L.A. Reid's journey shows us that success doesn't come overnight; it requires dedication, learning from mistakes, and continually adapting. Virgil Abloh's innovative spirit teaches the value of breaking conventions and merging different cultural elements, reminding us to never fear originality. Similarly, IRI WES LANG’s work highlights the power of authenticity and staying true to one’s personal style. If I were advising my younger self, I would stress the power of networking and mentorship, as collaboration often opens unexpected doors. Also, nurturing confidence in your unique voice is essential, even when faced with doubt or criticism. Overall, these reflections encourage all of us to view setbacks as opportunities for growth and to keep pushing boundaries creatively and professionally. It’s about believing in your potential and not hesitating to dream big while appreciating the journey along the way.

There was once a younger version of you who prayed for the life you’re living now. She prayed for healing. She prayed for peace. She prayed to make it through the hard seasons. She prayed to become the person God was calling her to be. And even if you don’t feel “there” yet, take a moment
