Things to Live By


Life advice we have received:

General
  • I am the only constant thing as the world changes around me. I need to find the joy, power, passion, excitement, fulfillment and love in myself instead of hoping the World will create that experience for me. No matter the circumstance the roller coaster of life doesn't determine who I am. I am what I choose to be.
  • Instead of having to do things I choose them.
  • Any task or challenge can be as enjoyable as you choose it to be.
  • My life's experiences and journey is only limited to my imagination, choices and commitments.
  • This is not a dress rehearsal life is now. Life is not the next moment, the next experience, the next accomplishment. Life is in this moment.
  • If I am not getting the results that I say that I want then I never had the intention to do so. Intention + mechanism = results.
  • Where I choose to put my attention is what gets my power. - You can have it all, you just can't have it all at the same time.
  • Life doesn't have to be either/or it can be both/all.

Relationships
  • Take time apart. Go off and explore something on your own. When you come back together you will have missed each other and there will be more storied to share with each other.
  • We are bound to get nit-picky and quarrel. But take a look around at where we are in the world. Remind yourselves that you are lucky to be where you are right now and that these little things really don't matter. Have enough humility to let bygones be bygones.
  • Often someone escalates a fight because they are not being heard. When this happens take a moment to slow down and make sure you are trying to understand what your partner is saying.
