If You Could Send a Letter Back in Time to Yourself, Would You?
Hey Readers!
Have you ever written a letter to your past self? It’s an incredibly powerful way to reflect on all of things you’ve overcome and lessons you’ve learned. Not only that, it’s a great way to build compassion for yourself and others as you realize we are all in different phases of this journey of life.
I was thinking about this recently. Imagine if you could send a letter back in time to yourself? What would you say? Would you share advice or encouragement? Would you give yourself a warning of potentially hazardous events to come? Or maybe share lottery numbers? I can’t help but think of the movie Back to the Future as I write this! While Biff’s knowledge of what to bet on from the Almanac turned out negative, the fact that Doc opened Marty’s letter ended up saving him. So, who’s to say if doing such things would be good or bad for the time continuum? Seems like it matters what kind of person you are.
