A Letter to my younger self by Amy Jo Martin
Dear Young Amy Jo
I write this letter to you on a plane as I fly back to U.S. soil after spending time in Asia. Remember how we used to dream of visiting Asia? A lot of things have happened over the years and although there is still so much to learn, I’ve also learned a lot of valuable lessons along the way. Please take what’s useful from this advice and leave behind what is not. You will create your own journey which makes you unique.
- You’re going to experience some amazing things. Humble yourself or the universe will do it for you. The world is much bigger than us and it doesn’t revolve around us. The people we respect the most, including our mentors, are the humblest people we’ll ever meet.
- In third grade, you will be put in a ‘special’ reading and writing class because you’re not quite performing at the same level as your classmates. Accept, listen and learn. We will apply these skills years down the road when we write our first New York Times bestselling book.
- Read. Read. Read. Make it a part of your day, your world. Surround yourself with people who also love to read. Give books as gifts. The benefits are unmatched.
- Travel. Even if it’s an hour from where you live. Exploring will open your mind. If you have an opportunity to travel due to your career, take the ticket and explore while working — especially while you’re young and have less geographic anchors.
- Your career is going to take off, but please, make family a priority. I didn’t attend our grandmother’s funeral because I had a business trip that was “critical to my career.” To this day, I don’t remember what that very important career changing opportunity was. Show up for family. It matters.
- Be kind and smile. It’s good for the soul, it’s a mood-changer, it’s contagious and… it attracts. Kindness and a smile are the ultimate positive boomerangs.
I love you and hope you learn to love yourself at an earlier stage than I did. Ajo
