    ok in all seriousness the best advice i've ever gotten is to "take care of yourself because no one else will." Also recognizing that US culture breeds, approves, and praises people that DON'T practice self-care so I need to work even harder at it.

    It took me 10 years to love and appreciate myself for who I really am. I'm not giving anyone that much time to come to the same conclusion about me.

    My dad taught me, "Your word is all you have, dont lie and dont make promises you cant keep." Another favorite "Dont lend money you cant afford to live without."

    One I had to pass on to my son, engrained it in him. "You may not always be able to control the situations you're put into, but you can control how you react. You are responsible for your actions."

    Never assume that someone has placed your best interests ahead of their own.

    It's cynical, but you'll never be unpleasantly surprised by someone else's actions.

    My mother told me that you can't really ever focus/love/dedicate yourself to another without first doing it for yourself.

    She was right. :)

    My mother told me something like this as well. :smile: It's a very true statement.

    In a time in my life where I was constantly comparing myself to other people, never feeling good enough, my best friend at the time said, "Figure out what YOUR style is, and perfect THAT."

    Revolutionized how I thought about myself, and still impacts me to this day!
