Letter to Younger Self
Here is the letter that Phylicia Rashad wrote to her younger self in the April issue of O Magazine, that I felt was a good message for me:

Dear Phylicia,
Romantic involvement distracts you and can blind you to what's really in front of you. And what is really in front of you? You are. You don't even know yourself yet. You think you know and you want to assert that you do, now that you're a certain age, but you don't. What's in front of you is a whole world of experiences beyond your imagination. Put yourself, and your growth and development first. There are long-term repercussions to what you're doing now. Everything you do, every thought you have, every word you say creates a memory that you will hold in your body. It's imprinted on you and affects you in subtle ways-ways you are not always aware of. With that in mind, be very conscious and selective. With high hopes for you, Phylicia.

This letter is amazing...
