You can only live your own life.

5 steps to a happy life

  • avoid introspection
  • embrace change
  • develop a passion
  • live now
  • be a leaf on a tree (i.e. connect with people and be part of something)
I check I'm doing this often and it really makes a difference.

That sounds profound and very lovely. Out of interest, how do you check in that you are doing this? Thank you.

Don’t waste your breath giving advice: people will only do what they want do.

Give people as much as they give you. Don’t waste your 100% for their 10%.

Agree with Fuck ‘em.

” Dump him and move to London”. Best advice ever from an older woman I didn’t know at a party. I was 26 living in a city I’d out grown in a relationship with a difficult man. Moved to London doubled my salary lived the high life in a global city and met dh.

Don't wait until you feel confident before doing something - confidence is built by doing things before you feel ready for them (eg presentations at work; not skydiving!)

We’re all going to die one day - might as well make the most of now.

“The person you choose to marry and have kids with can be the difference between true happiness and major turmoil in your life; choose wisely”

True, but major turmoil can lead to true happiness!

everything will be okay in the end. If it isn’t, then it isn’t the end

Plough your own furrow.
My Dh’s mantra and I only began to get it as I got older. My own dc’s were very u sure of themselves and there was a Time I thought they would never do anything without me holding their hands ( literally) but turned out I was wrong. 🥹

The trick is to keep breathing. Do that and everything else has a habit of sorting itself out in the end.

Don’t argue with stupid people; they’ll only drag you down to their level and beat you on experience.

i must remember this when I occasionally go on x

Do as you would be done by.

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Don’t look for trouble, it will find you soon enough.
