What have you learned that you consider valuable?

Okay this may be a stale saying to some...but I still like "what doesn't kill you will make you stronger".

If your overwhelmed with worry or anxiety, sleep on it (either a nap or overnight). Things always seem better afterwards.

"If at first you don't succeed, try and try again - then give up .. there's no need to be an idiot."

" Love many, trust few and always paddle your own canoe." :-4

"Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday." :-2

"Before arguing with a fool, make sure he won't be doing the same."

"If you decide to hit some one, make sure it's just a slap on the back!"

Whatever doesn't kill you makes you wish you were dead. :wah:

What I can think of at the moment is probably just the life lessons that I'm being reminded of at the moment hence not a complete list.

Whatever is aggravating me tells me more about myself than about the person in question. (Doesn't mean I can't tell them off though)

You can help someone rise above their problems but if they try to drag you down cut them loose.

Being in control is only an illusion.

Not being in control is actually ok. Sometimes.

Trust but don't be foolish.

You get what you expect.

live for today, tomorrow may never come

never let the sun set on an argument (i.e make up before you go to bed/to sleep)

never let the ones you love go anywhere without telling them so

Racism comes in all sizes, shapes and colours.

When a pick pocket sees a holy man all he sees are the pockets.

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

Thanks for bringing that one up. I had completely forgotten I wrote it! :wah:

Guess I'll have to read my own journal again.

For people who fret they may never meet 'that special someone' or 'soulmate'

my Grannie would say: "Don't worry my dear, there's a lid for every jar!"

:wah: how cute is that.
