A Letter to My Future Self

I wrote a letter to myself on Monday, December 4, 2017. It was labeled: Read this when you feel like a failure.

Dear Future Self,

You are letting the little things distract you from your main goal – being the best version of yourself. You try too hard at being perfect and stress out about things that in retrospect may not be a big deal. You can be a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time. Take things one day at a time and know that great things are done by a series of small things brought together. Don’t forget where you came from. If you keep that perspective, you’ll realize what situation you are currently dealing with is probably not that bad. Just remember the days in college when you only had a part-time internship, lived in an off-campus apartment, and had to live off credit cards. Work hard; be kind; stay humble. The only person you have to compete against is the person you were yesterday.
