If I were To Travel Back in Time to 3 Years Ago, What Advice Would I Give myself?

Three years ago would take me fresh out of college. It was a very important stage in my life. I followed what was stated by the society ...the surrounding....as the right thing to do. I went to multiple interviews, focused on getting the best job and did in fact get the job i was eye-ing for. Got a great engineering job with an awesome salary, met great people and started spending lots of time and energy on career progress.

If i were to travel back in time to 3 years ago, i would sit myself down and have a heart to heart talk. I would convince myself that monetary comfort is no comfort at all, that the happiness it provides is fleeting, that i need to get done with being practical and be real!

I would tell myself to enroll in the Peace Corps or the red cross or a similar organization. Spend my youth amassing relationships and experiences instead of dead presidents printed on paper. Give back instead of hoarding. Learn and apply the concept of abundance rather than limitedness.

I would tell myself that i need to open my heart..and be more vulnerable. That would probably be super hard for my to listen to at that time, but ....i have figured out that it just gets harder with time. Told myself to abandon the fake armor of cockiness and pride, to embrace humility and start experiencing life. I would tell myself that getting security in a bank account will not make me happy in the future.....the high will not sustain....the numbers will not suffice.

If i were to go back three years, i would tell myself to not stop learning. To find something which might not monetarily benefit me, but fill me intellectually and spiritually. I would stop worrying so much about how i would pay for school. I would tell myself to believe....believe that anything can be done. I would tell myself not to limit my dreams....but to continue striving!

If i were to go back 3 years, i would tell myself to focus on things which really matter. I would tell myself to focus on finding truth. That logic and reasoning are not always everything. To combine the efforts of my heart and mind. I would tell myself to try new things.....be open to new relationships....not to have those stereo types so stuck in my head. I'd re-affirm that the most important things in life are relationships...with self, with God, with people....and that they are all interlinked.

Once i told myself all this, i would tell myself just to be happier. To read more, be wiser, eat healthier and play more :)
