    When I was in the military and doing a long timed trek or such it was 'I'll just do another twenty paces'...and then another. When I had cancer it was 'I'll just do another day... and then another'..... since my daughter passed away that mantra still kinda worked 'just another day.. and then 'if i can do one, I can do two'.... but more and more since then I just have to remind myself that I've got some absolutely f*****g fantastic friends and family who have seen me through the lowest time in my life and continue to do so. I was alone in the house for 18 months during the first bit of covid and had to isolate due to being the vulnerable category because of my disabilities..and my fiance didn't live with me then... but every one of my friends humbled me so much with their help and support. Some days I'd get up and there'd just be like a note on the doorstep with a bit of shopping off one of them, or they'd organise a weekly zoom quiz to keep me socialised. They're absolute diamonds the lot of them and I tell myself I will not disappoint them.

    To clarify: I mean this is a positive way. Bad things will pass or change, which means that suffering will become something else, potentially good or a lesson in life. Good things pass, which means you have opportunities to seek out more good things. I consider myself privileged for being able to say this, because it means I grew up safe.

    OIYLI - Only if you let it

    This is the message I taped to the bottom of my monitor at work when there were some very toxic attitudes being displayed by co-workers. I will not become that sort of person here. It will get you OIYLI.

    You absolutely shouldn't! Not only is it probable that you won't be able to sell it the price it is worth, but if you want to make a living of it, you'll have to work at it so much and so hard that you won't be able to enjoy it anymore, and your love for it will probably be lost forever ! Keep something just for your personal pleasure 🙂

    Never make a permanent decision based on a temporary state of mind/emotion. (re: suicide)

    The only person not making a mistake, is the person not doing anything... which is often worse than a mistake in my experience.

    The best revenge by far, is living an awesome, full life.

    I never really tell myself this, but it's a subconscious desire that helps keep me going. "continue to be curious".

    There's a lot of things that I want to explore and encounter for the first time and that is my drive to continue on. It kept me from continuing dark paths in my life -- just super depressed points in life.

    To quote Kimmy Schmidt “Do you think you can handle this for 10 more seconds? I learned a long time ago that a person can stand just about anything for 10 seconds, then you just start on a new 10 seconds. All you have to do is take it 10 seconds at a time.”

    It sounds crazy, but i think about that quote all the time. Now i tell myself, fairly regularly, just do 10 minutes and then we are done. You would be surprised how much you can get done in 10 minutes, or even just 5 on a bad day.

    Works on pretty much anything, work, cooking, cleaning, exercise.

    3 things.

    1. Run towards whatever it is you fear. Fear causes failure. Running towards it causes change. You can't progress without change.

    2. Do something useful every day.

    3. Always be kind to everyone no matter how important you are. Everyone is struggling with something.
