An amazing book I am reading at the moment is called “What I know now”, Letters to my younger self by Ellyn Spragins.
I have taken a few quotes from famous women. In the book each person has a quote and then a letter they have written to their younger self. There are over 40 different women that have contributed to this book. It is a brilliant read and I would highly recommend it.
Macy Gray – Please yourself first, everything else follows.
Heather Mills McCartney – Learn to say no.
Maya Angelou – Don’t let anyone raise you, you’ve been raised.
Naomi Wolf – Stop worrying about making people happy.
Queen Noor – You don’t have to be perfect.
Phylicia Rashad – Put yourself, and your growth and development, first.
Trisha Yearwood – Don’t think your happiness depends on someone else.
Lisa Scottoline – The way you look matters far less than what you think.
What advice would you give your younger self? My advice to my younger self would be “Ask more questions, read more books and don’t be impatient”.
