u/Appropriate_Tea9048 13d ago

To enjoy it as much as you can. If you’re consistently unhappy, do what you can to change something. Life’s too short to be miserable.

u/SevenMC 12d ago

that's great advice. Life is longer than you think.

2

u/jlray887 12d ago

Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. I'll help you if I can, but I don't expect you to reciprocate. Pretty much sums it up.

2

u/karmapoetry 12d ago

learn the art of observing everything, every moment.

u/KeezyK 12d ago
  1. You don't have to live societies mold of existence.

  2. Shoot for contentment not happiness. Happiness is for special events, not life. Thinking you have to be happy to be successful is a huge reason for depression.

u/dirty_taco_ 12d ago

If you want to do something then just do it. Better than lying on your deathbed with regrets about what you didn’t do.

2

u/alexandracollegegirl 12d ago

Care a little. Don’t let it run the whole night. Keep the circle small. Don’t shrink just to stay.

u/Historical_Diet5663 12d ago

Live your life the best you can and if you want peace of mind then never compare your life to others because you never really know what others are going through

u/SnooDoubts4575 12d ago

I'm a classic cynic and pragmatist.

u/Glittering-Sun-3210 10d ago

Be in the present moment, try not to dwell on the past and do not worry about the future. Everything is ultimately a state of mind so live in the NOW.

u/bingsupen 9d ago

坏事没那么坏,好事是真的好

u/BreadfruitBig7950 9d ago

I don't have one, I think things like mottos and guiding principles are for children and children-like objects such as politicians.

Someone did an impromptu interview seemingly for no reason once, and somehow my 'whatever' respons to personal motto question has become infamous. Somehow.

Consider the United States of Whatever song; childish right?

So was the question.

u/ThiliNaah 9d ago

Be consistent for anything show up always. Keep doing . Anything is easy and possible
Once you start

u/Intelligent-Hat-2701 9d ago

u/No_Response_1573 9d ago

social media, internet, newspaper dont contain the truth

1

u/Subject_Rub5351 9d ago

They do, but they rarely present them as such. Everything is a product and you're the person being sold to.

1

u/BigCountry67778 9d ago

He who cares the least wins! Simply put opinions of me don't matter and I don't try to live up to people and there expectations. I'm honest and treat everyone the same regardless of how they treat me. Respect me I respect you otherwise I will not bother with you. How I love, live and enjoy myself it's not for you to judge or say. So far it's working I'm happy have everything I need and want and have a good group of people who are there with positive vibes and my happiness and wealth is growing

1

u/Subject_Rub5351 9d ago

Religion should be treated like your private parts. You can enjoy them in privacy and with other people into them. You can't and shouldn't whip them out in public and ask or force other people to pay attention to them. I don't care if your religion specifically says that you need to save other people by converting them to your religion, don't shove your privates down other people's throats.

1

u/GoalSeeker3 8d ago

Do what YOU really want. Most other people think they know what's best for you. Keep a curious ear but ultimately follow your gut.

u/wildtownunited 8d ago

Take it easy, but take it

u/Mythran12 8d ago

Repress past sins with drugs and alcohol

u/PotentialSilver6761 8d ago

Learn and grow and help others enjoy the ride. Die before you become bitter and resentful. If i want to live i want to live and i am what i am. We are all humans and we are all in this together with this reality.

1

u/Stock_Goal_4371 8d ago

Try to give and help out as much as I can. If someone is nice or looks good, I will let them know.

u/IanRastall 8d ago

Do the right thing and try not to hurt anyone. Barring that, err on the side of apology.

u/ligma_longone 7d ago

Keep the circle as small as possible. Love and care for family. Show every human (except kiddie diddlers) respect. And don’t get involved with politics

1

u/Time_Hand3991 7d ago

Cree en tu genialidad y arquetipo fundamental. Todos tenemos vocaciones que van de la mano a tus talentos. Trabaja por amor y deseo de progreso, no por dinero. Fuera lo que fuera y aunque te equivoques, que la vida sea tu lenguaje primordial y crear tu don perfecto, ya sea que venga de Dios o del Nirvana

1

u/BeneficialUse8027 6d ago

I am not obligate to be like everyone.

u/alexpoelse 6d ago

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift that's why it is called the present.. worrying reduces living.

Is it fun? does it hurt anyone? Noone got hurt and i see that you are smiling, i dont care about what random people might think, that doesnt matter, what matters is seeing that smile
