An old Buddhist saying has carried me through a lot. Whenever you are having a horrible time, say to yourself "This too shall pass". Whenever you are having a happy time, say to yourself "This too shall pass". Ride the waves of life but if you can start to see the ocean you fear less of the crest of each wave.
Its really funny to me whenever someone thinks im old.
Thanks, @sidewalker_principle !
My best life lesson; 'Dont let a bad 5 minutes ruin a full 24 hours.'
My best friend taught me that lesson before she passed away.
Sorry to hear of your friend passing. That's never a happy moment. I guess it could be a happy thing to die if that person was in dire pain with no way out. But still, to lose somebody is terrible.
I like that saying. I'll use it, and when I do I'll credit both you and her.
She passed in a fiery car crash on thanksgiving. It was everywhere on the news.
Ive considered getting a tattoo of it, but Id rather not have a visual reminder of her.
Trust me, its helped me solve so many arguments with my peers and helped me get over issues aLOT faster.
If it doesnt work, have an ice cream cone.
There is literally no one who can change your world (the way you want) except you.
Don't let life happen to you, happen to life.
Live below your means! Lifestyle inflation will keep you poor, in debt, and working until the day you die.
Don't be afraid to start over.
Also, time > money.
You're missing out. Crazy is a good lay.
The fall-out can be brutal, but hey, great sex.
What I consider to be my greatest (and likely, only) epiphany: You know that lighted window you see off in the distance while driving a highway at night? That's all you are to most everyone else.
Don't trust/follow your emotions blindly, they are generally wrong and cause you to fuck up good things. Stop and think.
To quote Tupac: There's no need to be friends
To quote all of the ass kissers I've ever met: you catch more flies with honey
Why the fuck am I trying to catch flies motherfucker?
Psychological manipulation. It's not all malice, but there's real advantages to having people on your side. Eventually you'll need something that they have and it may very well be worth more to you than it is to them. Plant seeds, sow crops.
There's always another woman. If they aren't enthusiastic about you, to hell with them. Move on. Never chase.
