Does anyone have a tidbit of personal advice that they stick to?
Something you heard, grew up with, or just brings you comfort and helps you move forward? Mine is something I heard in one of my favorite movies: "All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you." I like that one because it always brings me in the moment and appreciate what I have now rather what I don't from the past or the future. Very grounding. What's yours? __________________ Tales of Love, Motivation, and An Interesting Journey - Please Subscribe to my Website on WordPress: Inspired Odyssey's Path to Wellness and Love |

*Just keep pluggin' away, come what may
*Cultivate love in the heart As up & down as my life has been, those two things are my basis for anything else. My simple compass. |

There’s this song I like called Into The Airwaves by Jacks Mannequin and there’s a part that goes “don’t panic, don’t panic, there simply is no need.” I say that to myself a lot. Besides that I just tell myself I’m worrying for nothing, or it’s just my anxiety.

Be true to myself.
Seek out simple pleasures, daily. Never hold grudges, and be quick to forgive and apologize, as applicable...and mean it. What crap happens, deal with it the best you can. Say "C'est la vie". Move on. |

Sometimes you have to walk away from people, not because you don't care, but because they don't.

Accept everyone as they are so long as they don't hurt others and if you can't do that then go your own way. Though this song doesn't capture that philosophy exactly, for some reason, it started playing in my head when I read the title of this thread:

It's been a while since I made this post, but after all I have been through, I have adopted a new motto:

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. ………..avoid loud aggressive person for they are vexatious to the spirit. ……..take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. ……….many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness……..
These bits of the Desiderata guide me and have for a long time. I try to use the desiderata as a whole to guide me. These bits stand out. The Buddha philosophy guides me too. __________________ Nammu …Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. …... Desiderata Max Ehrmann |
