Always check for toilet paper before you shit
-
It’s possible to make no errors and still lose.
-
Some people are dealt a worse hand in life than others and some people are better at playing their hand than others, so don’t assume you know why people are the way they are.
-
Patient compassion will never make you look like a jerk, but snap judgements will.
-
- Be comfortable in your own skin.
- Know why you have boundaries, and keep the good ones.
- They either want you to listen, or to help. They rarely want both.
- It’s only a “Teaching Moment” if they want to be taught. Otherwise you’re just annoying.
- Try not to confuse politeness for friendship.
- Chew each bite of food into a paste before swallowing, with your eating utensil on the table or the hand meal out of your hand.
- The true you is the you that you do when no one’s watching. (See #1…)
- A happy life is 51% happy. Settle for nothing less, strive for something sustainably more.
- If you’re feeling depressed take a step back and make sure you haven’t accidentally surrounded yourself with assholes.
- Only ever brush and floss the teeth you want in your head when you’re old.
Nothing matters but family and friends. The rest will pass sooner or later, there is no need to cling to it when it is time to let go.
Including family and friends.
Stoic/Buddhist wisdom
Nobody is coming to save you. Nobody. If you want help, ask. If you don’t want to ask, learn to save yourself.
Drugs and alcohol don’t make things better.
But they do make things less boring
Only accurate if it’s Bailey’s, from a shoe.
Drink more liquids.
Cheers, I’ll drink to that!
Don’t waste your time keeping toxic “friends” around. People who exhibit behaviors that demonstrate a low maturity level at an age where they could/should have grown out of it twice aren’t going to by the time they drive you insane.
Trust no one absolutely.
When life brings you to the point where you cannot sweat the small stuff anymore, it’s liberating and you better keep it as a habit. I did.
I’ll never forget the day I realized I was just exhausted at being angry all the time. I was holding onto so many grudges, something my mom does.
It took me down a path or learning why I was so mad at everything and what to do to fix that.
Sleep, or you will need to fix all the shit made half-asleep in the next day
If you don’t fit the typical mold of “perfect” you have to step outside your comfort zone and take some risks if you really intend to pursue your goals in spite of arbitrary rejection.
No one has to care about you. No one has to be nice to you. No one has to be fair to you. Expecting otherwise is just going to leave you open to getting fucked over. People are only out for themselves and if you don’t want to be taken advantage of you have to watch your own ass.
Just because someone love you doesn’t mean they will treat you even close to civil.
Some people truly are that bad. They can look like a normal person but in reality can not be redeemed. It’s not a communication issue,you don’t need to work harder. These people ARE the problem. When you live with normal people for your life , you can’t even comprehend that people like that are real.
Selfishness within reason is good.
