Life After 16

Robert Kennedy III
2 min readMay 13, 2019

Just about 2 years ago, I was thinking about what my life was like and what it would be like to be younger. Would I do anything differently? Would my life have been different if I had made different choices?

What would it be like if I was 16 again?

I came up with a Top 5 list. But, I left out one important message.

Here it is!

It’s going to be okay.

You will mess up and make mistakes.

You will miss opportunities.

You will have some great days.

You will have some doggone AMAZING days.

And you will have a lot of days where you wish you could just skip forward.

But, you can’t skip forward.

And you can’t jump backward.

You can only live in the day you have.

So, make the best of it because it’s going to be okay.

Look for the best moments in every day and treasure them.

This is life. You live, focused on being your best, while celebrating as many of the milliseconds of joy possible.

Don’t get comfortable. Don’t get complacent. Always seek growth. Always want better. And don’t forget to breathe.

If your final failure is your last, then you won’t remember.

Live courageously.

Live like every decision makes a difference.

Live like you can’t go wrong!

Live like you own the world!

Live with integrity!

Live with kindness!

Live with excitement!

Live with positivity!

Live with love!

Live!!
