I've thought about this type of thing and done it mentally in the past. And it makes me think how my future self might talk to my current/present day self too--sort of observing your present day life from a objective, wiser perspective. Thanks, Michael. Good exercise.

Lets us see where they came from. It is fun to get to be part of people's lives even though you were not there at the time, you know them know and can see who they are a little from the picture. :) It is fun to see younger pictures of people.

If I wrote a letter to my younger self, it would be full of warnings, but I have to keep reminding myself that things happen to mold and to make us the people who we are. Much like a sculpture firing and hammering out the metal to make a priceless work of art. I'm so glad and honor to have people like you in my life. I love to read about the people whom you help mold and I'm sure they help make you the wonderful person you are today. It is nice to see younger pictures of people, cause you can slightly see the man who the boy will be, and you can see the child that the man is today. Michael that was so touching.

The one that makes me look like a young British boy? I must be hormonal….that just made me tear up. =)

It was a great acitivty to do. I honestly did it as a suggestion from a friend. He got a lot out of it so he thought I would too. I did it and nothing happened. When my friend asked how it went, I told him I would read it to him. As I was reading it, I started to feel a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. I had to stop reading twice because I burst into tears. I am not one to cry but this activity really hit home for me after I read it. Give it a try and see how it comes out. JM

I think we could all take this as an example and write a similar letter to our younger self. It seems very therapeutic and I can already recite the things I would say to myself. Thank you for your great blogs and helping me to grow into a better person by reading it. Have a great day! That was so deep and insightful.
