YPRichB: I came across this article a few days ago and I thought it was very insightful. As we get older we get more opportunities to look back and reflect on decisions we’ve made and how they’ve affected our current situations. In this particular article the writer is thinking of things he wishes someone told him when he was 18 years old. Although the article is intended to give advice to the youth, I definitely found some things I could apply to my current situation. YPs should always be looking for personal and professional growth so check out this article and make whatever changes you feel are necessary.
Commit yourself to making lots of mistakes. – Mistakes teach you important lessons. The biggest mistake you can make is doing nothing because you’re too scared to make a mistake. So don’t hesitate – don’t doubt yourself. In life, it’s rarely about getting a chance; it’s about taking a chance. You’ll never be 100% sure it will work, but you can always be 100% sure doing nothing won’t work. Most of the time you just have to go for it! And no matter how it turns out, it always ends up just the way it should be. Either you succeed or you learn something. Win-Win. Remember, if you never act, you will never know for sure, and you will be left standing in the same spot forever.
