What Would Your 10-Year-Old Self Think of You Now?
If you could go back and give your 10-year-old self advice, would they take you seriously? Or would they tell you off?
I heard a different version of this question a while ago. That question was asked what my 10-year-old-self would be disappointed to know about me now. I thought it was an interesting question but never took any time to answer it.
I recently heard this version, “what would your younger self think of you now?” on a podcast episode from Brendon Burchard. This time I did realize that I need to answer the question. Because I need to figure out why I keep hiding and holding back.
I could start blaming my past choices for why I hold myself back. But I can’t do that because they made me who I am today. When I made those decisions I had no idea, that I would still be in a dead-end job. I had countless opportunities ahead of me then and I still do today.
What Would The 10-Year-Old Me Think of Me Today?
I would like to say that my 10-year-old self would probably have the mixed “what the?!” reaction. The equal amounts of impressed but not impressed version.
Honestly, my 10-year old self would be more disappointed with me than proud of me. I don’t think she would listen to me at all.
