<p>Yesterday I stumbled on fellow blogger Sami May&#8217;s site and her <a href="http://www.lifelaughsandlemmings.com/advice-i-would-have-given-myself-when-i-turned-21/" target="_blank">post</a> on advice she would have given herself when she turned 21 inspired my thoughts for you today.</p>
<p>If life&#8217;s a journey, there&#8217;s lots you pick up along the way, good or bad.</p>
<p>And if you had to do it over, you&#8217;d have an easier time than someone who&#8217;s not been down that path before or who is having a difficult time finding their way.</p>
<p>So as you think about what you now know about life and about yourself&#8230;</p>
<p>Imagine what would you say to your younger self back then?</p>
<p>See, your experience makes you a good mentor, and one with special powers&#8230; because you have the benefit of hindsight.</p>
<p>And so why not enjoy mentoring yourself a bit?</p>
<p>Now imagine what advice and important life lessons would you share&#8230;</p>
<p>Often we are our own worst critics (I know I am), so instead of being so hard on yourself, just go easy. Cut yourself a bit of slack.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good time to sit back and relax because this could take a while.</p>
<p>There are lots of rich bits of useful knowledge for you to share. Which ones will you choose that can make a huge difference in the quality of your life?</p>
<p>Think of a few words of wisdom that would dramatically change your results.</p>
<p>Love to hear your thoughts in the comments.</p>
<p>Ciao!</p>

<p>P.S. &#8211; Quick note for anyone who wants to know, self mentoring is just one way to change your life and even though we didn&#8217;t get into it in detail here, it&#8217;s one of the things you can learn in great depth in my upcoming interactive mentoring program.
