If I Knew Then Part 6

[00:00:14.01]Hey, hey, hey, this is Lynda again on Rooted&Real.
[00:00:19.49]Thank you so much for hanging out with me in this episode of ‘If I Knew Then’, What I
[00:00:27.37]Know Now. Today, we’ll just do the last one, just a summary of what we’ve been saying.
[00:00:38.62]Been there, done that, and bought the t-shirts, ‘si ndio’ (right)? But sometimes, the been there, you
[00:00:47.21]know, it’s shaky, it’s hazy, it’s grey, it’s worse, look back and see. But you’re in a
[00:00:54.45]place where you’ve done it. So, you know, Bloody Call the Cops!! So, you’re in a place
[00:01:03.61]where you want to build, rebuild your empathy, rebuild your self-esteem, rebuild anything
[00:01:12.84]that you think has held you back. And if there are things, like I was saying, if there are
[00:01:23.14]things that I would tell my young self, I don’t know how many years ago, don’t even
[00:01:28.21]count with me yet, are not to take things too, not to grieve over stuff that has happened,
[00:01:40.33]especially situations and challenges. I would, number one, I would say, this too shall pass,
[00:01:46.93]because it does pass. Number two, you’re okay. Oh, you’ll be well. You’ll be okay.
[00:01:56.44]You are okay. These are now you’re telling your 13-year-old self. Number three, you’re
[00:02:02.97]worthy. Four, believe in yourself. Five, be kind. Six, you don’t have to find your meaning.
[00:02:16.25]You know why? Because you are the meaning. Seven, seek magnificence. So, with the eagles,
[00:02:27.01]what’s going on now, my kukwa pochini? Eight, risk often, because when you don’t risk, you
[00:02:33.36]won’t know. Nine, smile often, laugh a lot, and always dance. And ten, get creative. So now,
[00:02:49.77]you know. You don’t want another 10 years to say, if you knew then, it was 10 years ago,
[00:02:57.13]you’d have made it. Make it better now. This is your time to shine. This is your time to love.
[00:03:03.40]This is your time to dance, and this is your time to say sorry, and it’s just your time,
[00:03:08.61]and you best enjoy it. I hope you’re good with that. Remember, leave comments where you can
[00:03:19.29]and share a little of what you’re going through, what you went through, and what you want. Life
[00:03:27.65]is all for the giving. It’s all about it. Thank you so much for being with me, for hanging out
[00:03:33.25]with me. You’ve actually also made me reflect a lot on who I am versus who I was, if that’s right.
[00:03:44.91]You’ve taken me through that journey too. So, believe in yourself. Take care of yourself. You
[00:03:52.97]matter. Thank you…
