Hey, hey, hey, this is Lynda again on Rooted&Real.

00:19.492 --> 00:27.280
Thank you so much for hanging out with me in this episode of 'If I Knew Then', What I

00:27.374 --> 00:38.521
Know Now. Today, we'll just do the last one, just a summary of what we've been saying.

00:38.615 --> 00:47.112
Been there, done that, and bought the t-shirts, 'si ndio' (right)? But sometimes, the been there, you

00:47.206 --> 00:54.351
know, it's shaky, it's hazy, it's grey, it's worse, look back and see. But you're in a

00:54.445 --> 01:03.518
place where you've done it. So, you know, Bloody Call the Cops!! So, you're in a place

01:03.612 --> 01:12.751
where you want to build, rebuild your empathy, rebuild your self-esteem, rebuild anything

01:12.845 --> 01:23.042
that you think has held you back. And if there are things, like I was saying, if there are

01:23.135 --> 01:28.113
things that I would tell my young self, I don't know how many years ago, don't even

01:28.207 --> 01:40.237
count with me yet, are not to take things too, not to grieve over stuff that has happened,

01:40.331 --> 01:46.834
especially situations and challenges. I would, number one, I would say, this too shall pass,

01:46.928 --> 01:56.349
because it does pass. Number two, you're okay. Oh, you'll be well. You'll be okay.

01:56.442 --> 02:02.879
You are okay. These are now you're telling your 13-year-old self. Number three, you're

02:02.973 --> 02:16.154
worthy. Four, believe in yourself. Five, be kind. Six, you don't have to find your meaning.

02:16.247 --> 02:26.913
You know why? Because you are the meaning. Seven, seek magnificence. So, with the eagles,

02:27.006 --> 02:33.269
what's going on now, my kukwa pochini? Eight, risk often, because when you don't risk, you

02:33.362 --> 02:49.675
won't know. Nine, smile often, laugh a lot, and always dance. And ten, get creative. So now,

02:49.768 --> 02:57.035
you know. You don't want another 10 years to say, if you knew then, it was 10 years ago,

02:57.128 --> 03:03.311
you'd have made it. Make it better now. This is your time to shine. This is your time to love.

03:03.404 --> 03:08.516
This is your time to dance, and this is your time to say sorry, and it's just your time,

03:08.610 --> 03:19.195
and you best enjoy it. I hope you're good with that. Remember, leave comments where you can

03:19.288 --> 03:27.558
and share a little of what you're going through, what you went through, and what you want. Life

03:27.652 --> 03:33.152
is all for the giving. It's all about it. Thank you so much for being with me, for hanging out

03:33.245 --> 03:43.951
with me. You've actually also made me reflect a lot on who I am versus who I was, if that's right.

03:44.914 --> 03:52.876
You've taken me through that journey too. So, believe in yourself. Take care of yourself. You

03:52.970 --> 03:55.071
matter. Thank you...
