To ask for the life advice that has served you well?

[mumofoneAloneandwell]

The truth shall set you free

Always store a torch on its side.

Make sure you’ve got a comfy bed and a comfy pair of shoes, cos if you’re not in one then you’re in the other!

What’s the worst that can happen? The world will still turn.

or my current favourite:
Just because you can, doesn’t always mean you should

Always take your own tea bags to Spain

What you think is your business, and what I think is mine.

Nothing stays the same, everything changes.

When they go low, we go high

What other people think of you is none of your business

I dont get this one? 👀

There but for the grace of God go I.

Start paying into a pension young. Only useful bit of advice my father gave me.

This too shall pass.

Treat others as you’d want to be treated yourself.

Go placidly amidst the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence

(and all the rest of Desiderata)

Does anything have to be done about this?
Does it have to be done now?
Does it have to be done by me?

Just get on with it.

You get more honey with sugar than shite
Now. I realise this isn't right but the sentiment is clear. Be nice to someone and they'll be nice back.

Waste not, want not.

Don’t borrow problems from tomorrow.

If you store a torch end on you might accident be wasting battery. But if you store it on its side you can easily see if it is on or off.

You only about people what they choose to tell you

The sweetest honey is loathsome in its own deliciousness.. Therefore, love moderately

(paraphrased, warning about the hormonal rush of lust, and basically, people having shit in their eyes)

Never take criticism from someone you wouldn’t ask for advice. Hard to do but it’s a good saying, I think.

Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.

Always a borrower or lender be - life is TOO short
Love freely and openly
Let the small stuff slide
What is meant for you will never pass you

You miss 100% of the chances you don’t take

When I was moaning about turning 30 my friend said 'well your either 30 or you're dead' and it really resonated with me! I'm approaching 40 now and happy to be alive 🤣

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Genuinely makes you a much more tolerant person, particularly around bad driving.
