Life Motto

[cocktails4two]

Busy Mum of 2, DD 6 and DS 3 months. Live with partner (kids Dad).

Mine is everyone is fed, no one's dead. Gets me through on the daily.
What's your life motto?

Just for fun x

Better the day, Better the deed!...just wish I'd follow this motto more often.🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣

Nothing's so broke, that it can't be fixed.

Growing older is compulsory - growing up is not.
Oh, and ‘we can get better because we’re not dead yet’ courtesy of Frank Turner.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Everything is figureoutable

“Do your best, and fuck the rest”

Helps me with my perfectionist and anxiety tendencies. Yes, put in an effort and do things to the best of your ability, but also know when something’s good enough and/or out of your control.

If you can't get out of it, get into it.

This too shall pass.

80/20 rule applies to all things.

To the kids, regularly " we don't hold grudges in this house".

There's my future excuse!

Keep trying. Failure is not trying.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Dr Seuss

Ahhh fuck it, that’ll do.

Dream, but don't sleep.

(Andrew Hem)

From Angel

”in the grand scheme of things nothing we do matters, so the only thing that matters - is what we do.”

If it doesn't harm anyone, do what you will.

My user name 🤣

Or family one was "Don't be a dingbat"

Covered most things!

54321 - to get going
It's non negotiable - for maintaining good habits
I also say 'put it in the fuckit bucket' from time to time
Not my circus not my monkeys - I first saw this on MN, now DH and I say it all the time, mainly about his defunctional family

Applies equally to significant career changes and doing the vacuuming.

Your (or anyone's) opinion of me is none of my business

The regrets I have are about the ooportunities I didn't take rather than the mistakes I mad

It's actually a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt many years ago.

Focus on what you can change and not what you can’t

if nothing changes then nothing changes

keep on keeping on - never give up

It is what it is

You must go on. I can’t go on. I’ll go on.
Although (since we're talking Beckett) I like the idea of:
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

Work hard and try not to be a dickhead
