Writer Nyasha Junior‏ asked women in their 40s to describe one piece of advice they would give to their 20-something selves? Many women decided to answer this question. And even though their young selves aren’t capable of hearing this advice, we still find it pretty useful.

We at Bright Side selected a few pieces of advice that remind us of what is really important and valuable in our lives, and what we can easily sacrifice.
