    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!

    Don't worry about what you will eat or what you will wear, but seek first the kingdom of heaven and all these things shall be added to you.

    Second best advice: don't worry about doing that big thing. Do what you need to do today. Do that everyday and it will happen.

    Third best advice: don't worry about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be all right.

    Fourth best advice: don't worry, be happy.

    Seeing a pattern here?

    Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

    Awful advice. Makes miserable both the sadist and the masochist.

    You're better off with "Do unto others as they would have you do unto them." Forces you to actually find out what they want first.

    What I tell my kids:

    You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

    Applies to life and to them playing soccer!

    You choose how to react to a situation. If you choose to be mad, glad, or sad, thats your choice. No one controls your feelings. So its not anyone else's fault how you feel.

    My great aunt (like a grandma to me) always used to tell me when I was a kid "Don't wish your life away" when I would tell her I can't wait for my birthday, can't wait to graduate from high school, or whatever. It took me years to figure out what she meant--enjoy the here and now. I only wish she was still around so I could tell her :(

    (About being alone or lonely) Learn to love yourself and enjoy being alone. If you don't like you and don't want to be with yourself, then what makes you think anyone else wants to be around you?

    If you would have started your workout when you first though of it, you would be done by now!

    (Not sure who said it, but it always applies in my case!)
