If you could turn back time, would you be more brave?

What if we could go back in time? I’ve found a way.

I’m interviewing 100 people going through career and life changes and I ask them what wisdom they would share with their younger selves.

Here are some of their pearls:

“Be brave.”

“Why wait? Why not start now? You don’t need permission.”

“Worry less about what might happen. You won’t get lost. You will find your way.”

“Listen to how you feel more than what you think.”

“You’re only here once. Do something between 9–5 that puts a smile on your face.”

“Be more kind to yourself.”

“Don’t get too upset about what’s bothering you now. With time and distance most things become less important.”

“Life takes unexpected turns. Sometimes it’s things that you really love and it’s surprising. But it’s okay if things don’t go according to plan.”

“Have more fun. Take life a little less seriously.”
