I'm at a loss of things to write about, so I've decided to create a new small tag for this blog. The goal of it is to come up with 5 life mottos, either original or from google, and then list them off along with why they're important to you. I encourage our readers to participate in comments (or write a guest post- see my dad's older posts for details) and I out-right challenge my dad to do this as well.
Without further ado, here are the 5 life mottos that I find important and why. "Be at peace, not in pieces." If this quote seems familiar to you, you probably have read the small bio on the right side of this blog in the sidebar. It's a quote that I truly love and try to follow- it's representative of being at peace with who you are and how you're living your life. I love it because I'm on an ever-continuing journey to find happiness and peace within myself, and I've found a great deal of it as of lately. Progress is an amazing thing and is a big part of my life- as is this quote. "Enjoy life today. Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may never come." This quote is one of my mottos for the obvious reason- I hate worrying and I hate hearing people lament over the past and what they could've done differently. The past is gone and nothing can be done to change it, so regrets are pointless- and worrying about the future can only change the outcome for the worse. So it's better to enjoy the time you have and focus on making the best of what you're given. "I would much rather live a life of "oh well's" than a life of "what if's"." This quote is one of my mottos because I agree so strongly with it. It's better to take chances and end up with a bad result than to spend the rest of your life wondering what may have come of that one decision. I try to incorporate my decision-making skills into my life quite often... because I've seen the amazing results that have come of it in the past. "Treat everyone with a level amount of respect, until they show you a reason to give them more or less." This is one of my own mottos, not so much a quote from google. I was raised to show an equal amount of respect to everyone simply for existing by my dad- until they give me a reason to show them more or less respect. In my eyes, your position in the world does not determine the amount of respect you will receive from me. You aren't entitled to the respect of others, and the respect you receive from me will be determined by how you treat me as a person. "Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place." I don't think that one needs much explaining. - maddie
