The first time I heard "Forever young" by JayZ I had to find deep meaning to the song and I realise personally that it meant a wish to his younger self but then making that wish a reality in his now younger self [his son] and his son's son and more after that.... .
So that question boils down to us now if experiences makes us wiser and smarter but still some experiences are awful that we regret it ever happening, if you now have the ability to turn back the hands of time and to correct or advise yourself prior to when it happens (since you now know better) what would be your advise to your younger self
We mostly think that's not possible but it is, go back, check Jayz's lyrics on that song for ever young,...what would you advise or say to your younger self ( your son or daughters about the life you lived , the errors and mistakes you made while growing up at what point in your life did it happen and would you have known better what would you have done differently, this would make up your words of encouragement or advice.
Fortunately I was opportune to speak to few young students in the school were i teach and I keep telling them about my life journey, how I was like them then started having dreams of going to school to become a graduate even when nothing was available at the time, to the point were I felt like given up and, so this was my story to them.
No matter how wonderful you feel your dreams and aspiration is, just bear it in mind that a time will come when it will be very difficult to scale through, be pushed to make some certain wrong decisions out of certain circumstances, no matter how well planned or carefully laid out plan one makes mistakes are inevitable it will happens but however since you already bear it in mind be rest assured that even tho it happens you will bounce back on track....
The lesson is not to allow whatever past experiences or mistake define your present or future outcomes, because that's how people get stuck in their regrets till it breeds depression which further weakened their ability to do more and better .
Whatever it is be strong and be of good courage, cause you will surely over come, let's your mind not be disturbed, let worries not cloud your mind or allow certain past experiences stop you from taking the next bold steps, let not fears of the unknown keep you trapped in the now, always gear forward, cause there is more beyond the horizon....
THIS IS MY LETTERS TO MY YOUNGER SELF
