What advice would you give to a girl turning 14 in 3 months? Basically things you wish you knew while you were 14.

Edit: I'm going into 11th or 12th grade by September. Due to my Country's education system. Any advice for that would be appreciated too. Thanks

Thank you all for the advice ๐Ÿ˜Š

Fail fast and fail forward. Don't be afraid to start, be afraid of looking back having never done anything. Regret is poison.

Learn what the pareto principle is and live by it. Be efficient.

When life gets hard focus on what's in front of you not on the world, ideology, news, thats all distraction. Learn to stay in the moment, what's right here, right now, infront of you.

Cherish loved ones. Focus on your health now. Your health can be gone at a moments notice, life is about balance. Every action has a reaction.

Focus on your strengths not your weaknesses. You have infinite weaknesses. Your strengths will be your lynchpin at times.

Always be curious. Don't lose the will to learn and ask questions. Knowledge is everything.

Always stay moving physically. Stay doing something productive.

Listen to your gut during times of uncertainty. Trust very little of others. Words mean nothing. Actions never lie.
