I believe that if we are able to learn from them, our mistakes have the potential to give us a great lesson and make us stronger. However, we don’t have to experience every hardship possible to learn a valuable lesson. If you could, what advice would you give to your younger self?

“Enjoy your life more and not to worry. All things do work out for good.” Thank you for writing this article, Ellie. It has made me pause and think. 🙂
That’s a great advice! Thank you so much for your kind words!
It’s always a pleasure reading and gaining valuable lessons I learn from your work. Thank you, Ellie.
I would say “Do crazy things” I think I am too good, too formal
That’s a good one! I’d add “Fear less”.
Accept that all have a place.
Keep distance from those whose place seems to step on your place.
Be careful with the dreams you share.
Own your place in the world.
These are all great pieces of advice; thank you so much for sharing them!
i suspect take a breath is also good advice for younger us.
This is a great advice for everyone indeed
it is very true, sometimes we just have to stop and remember.
I would tell my younger self to forgive myself and move on with life. Life has so much more to offer so why get stuck on regrets.
This is very wise, thank you for sharing!
It is very frustrating making the same mistake always.
I agree with you, it is quite frustrating.
I would say to my younger self don’t stress it, don’t panic, and think with your heart and soul
This is a wonderful advice for everyone! Thank you for sharing it!
It is human to err and it does take time to realise one’s mistakes.
Realizing we made a mistake is a huge step in the right direction.
I have to work more and earn more. That’s my advice.
It’s never too late to do so, I wish you best of luck!
I have made the same mistakes several times in the past. And it’s because I’m too trusting. I’m very careful now.
The sad thing is that sometimes such bad experiences later rob us of the ability to trust those who deserve it.
How right you are. Unfortunately, I experience it.
I had to learn not to trust everyone or make expectations that others will think like you do. Painful lessons.
Some of the most valuable lessons we learn the hard way. Thank you for sharing your experience!
I made a lot of mistakes in life and I learned something from them, dear Ellie …. if I were born again I would go the same route
It takes a lot of wisdom to learn from a mistake. It’s great you have this ability!
It is never too late to realize your mistake and learn a lesson so you don’t repeat it. I made the same mistake several times to trust people I thought of friends. I got a knife many times in my back. Now I am very wary of new friendships. I prefer the old ones that have stood the time without such treachery.
That’s true, people we consider close are often the ones who can hurt us the most. Thank you for sharing your perspective!
