5 things to remember for my future self (and anyone who sees this) 1. If you’re feeling anxious about where the path you’re on is headed, give yourself some perspective. Worried about how the next year is going to play out? Think about what you can do for yourself over the next month instead. If even a month away is too tough to think about, think about next week, tomorrow, or even the next hour. No victory is too small, and there’s no better starting point than here and now. 2. Revel in your victories and give yourself credit where it’s due. After succeeding once we fall into the trap of moving the goalpost and treating that one win as a failure when we don’t succeed again. “I went for a run today” can quickly turn into thoughts of “I didn’t go for a run any other days of the week”. Hold yourself accountable, but don’t beat yourself up for not living up to your best every single day. Meet yourself where you’re at. 3. Creating can be about simply exploring and having fun just as much as it can be about the blood, sweat and tears that goes into producing something great. If you play the guitar, you’re not going to be the next Hendrix or Clapton overnight by copying them and trying to replicate their output every day. Sometimes it’s okay to have fun with simple scales or playing aimlessly. Sometimes, the output isn’t important. 4. Allow yourself to fail. Somewhere in that road to failure was an attempt to be proud of or a lesson to be learned. Maybe you set out to write 5 things to remember for your future self but could only think of 3. Thats fine! At least you made it halfway instead of not embarking at all, and now you have 3 things for your future self to remember. 5. Stop comparing yourself to other people, and drink more water.
Inspiring, I felt like I could relate to most of your advice to your future self and it somewhat helped me remembering where I come from and who I am, thank you for this.
My goal is to be better at communicating my needs and wants with my family and coworkers, which also means I need to be a better advocate for myself. So thanks for the inspiration Lim, bc you are doing both!!
When you said 7 years old, it just reminded me of the bus trips we took together on bus 14 if I remembered correctly and how your grandpa came in and stomped on that bully for always eating your food. All I could think of from that day was how strong your grandpa was and that you should never ever bully someone just because you are physically stronger than him at that time or else someone’s grandpa or dad is gonna really show you whose the real boss😂 Hope you remembered some parts of that and all the best on your new path!
@@AlexLimm Oh Yeah!! Hahaha insane how time flies:) I remembered when we used to stand in front of the bus and pretend it’s a surfboard just for the fun of it because it felt like an amusement ride back at that time. The creativity we had😂 Take care man!

I even remember exactly what he said: "If you ever bully anyone ever again I will twist your neck until your eyeballs pop out" 😂Thanks Collin!
