Some motivational words to think about next time you’re sad, upset, or just plain feeling “blah”. I love finding stuff like this, it helps to lift my spirits and help me remember that life isn’t really all that bad. I came across this article on stumbleupon called “45 Life Lessons, Written by a 90 Year Old”.

Here are some of my favorites that I really like as someone dealing with Bipolar

- When in doubt, just take the next small step.
- Life is too short not to enjoy it.
- Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
- Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
- Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger
- It’s never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.
- Overprepare, then go with the flow.
- Frame every so-called disaster with these words, ‘In five years, will this matter?’
- However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
- If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d
grab ours back.
- Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

I have read this before and agree with most of it but the part about grabbing your troubles back from the pile I do not agree. I would leave my bipolar in the pile for sure

Thanks manicdepressive07, loved that. I think it sums up everything. And even mental illness, because everyone else, the rich, the so called healthy, all have problems that we can never know about. The only life we can live is our own.
