Today? A round-up of wisdom, some clichéd and others not, that bears repeating.*
The world will not end should you decide not to engage with it.
"Be different from one another, and love our differences with big, open hearts." - Sally McGraw from Already Pretty
The memories you make are all you get to keep.
"Most of us have an invisible inner terrible someone who says all sorts of nutty stuff that has no basis in truth." - Sugar via The Rumpus
Loving yourself is not an option - rather, it is the denial of an essential truth.
"Saying I have to suggests that we do not have a choice, and that we are not in control of our lives... For starters, you don’t have to do anything! You know that. The world will not come to an end if you don’t do something (in most cases)." - Vanessa Paxton via ThinkSimpleNow
Take care of your emotions as if they were a bath: too hot and they burn you, too cold and they make you shiver. Let them drain out when it's time and build up when you need them. Don't leave the water unchanged for too long.
"You have permission to: not ever feel the need for permission." - Danelle LaPorte on White Hot Truth
Revision to the Golden Rule: Don't treat others the way you want to be treated - ask them how they want to be treated and honor that decision.
"…What matters is the work: the string of words propelled by God becoming a poem, the weave of colour and graphite scrawled upon a sheet that magnifies His motion. To achieve within the work a perfect balance of faith and execution. From this state of mind becomes a light, life-charged." - Patti Smith via Nextness
Love the challenge. Love the process. Don't settle for less.
*If you're counting the picture, we have 12 True Things. Good eye! Here's a bonus:
You will become what you manifest.
