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