Oh, forgot one - from an old boss of mine. It's stood me in good stead over the years:

Faint heart never fucked a pig.

Amazing 🥲

This too shall pass.
Don’t let ‘perfection’ be the enemy of ‘done’.
You can do hard things.

My friend’s grandmother, who always used to inspire us to just do it, whatever ‘it’ might be or we thought we might want to do. Never wait for tomorrow. Have fun now.

I'm back!

An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
For every tatter in its mortal dress

From Sailing to Byzantium, by Yeats. I love that quote.

Stop whinging about crap that's happened. You can't change it, get over it.

In a similar vein:

It's a great idea for a thread OP.

Now, if I could take some of the advice in here I'd be laughing! 😎

One day or day one You decide.

Every storm runs out of rain.

The night is always darkest just before the dawn.

The key to happiness is letting each situation be what it is, and not what you think it should be.
