What Would You Say? WWYS?

Immersed in a book about successful women, now in their 30's, 40's, and beyond, whom were asked to reflect over their lives, and if they could write a letter to their younger self, at what point in their life would it be, and what point would they like to make. Intrigued by this thought myself, I began going over a few here and there moments that I could've used a better pep talk to myself than I achieved on certain occasions. Although, I'm only 26, I think there is still plenty of advice I would give to my younger self. I challenged my girlfriends to consider the question as well. I did get an email from an "anonymous donor", and she was so specific, she could give you exact moments in her life that she would encourage a work-around. Whether it was in sports, love, school, or time well spent, she hit all major arenas. Me, I gave my younger self more general, long-term advice, well, besides "don't wear that hideous Christmas jacket." blaughck. AND, I'm not talking about telling your 11th grade self to invent facebook.com. So, all jokes aside... I encourage you to think about this very thing. Don't reflect too harshly, but what significant moments would you too either dishearten or uplift yourself?
