Advice

I've gotten some useful advice throughout my life--especially as of late--so thought I'd pass it along :) Feel free to share YOUR best advice, too!

"Explore the gray; don't look for black and white answers. Allow for there to be uncertainty and eventually an answer will come to you." (via Melissa Klein)

Regarding finding "balance" in life (paraphrased in my words): "Most people think of achieving balance as reaching a stagnant state. But if you look at balance in nature, the tide goes in; the tide goes out. Molecules diffuse across a cell membrane in one direction, and then move back again. [Things are in a constant state of flux, and therein lies the balance]... You can either hang on to the dock and try to stop the tide from coming in, or you can let go and just bob along in the water for awhile."

"Sometimes you need to smile and nod, and then go do your own thing."

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." (Dr. Seuss)

"Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize of change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time." (Sara Paddison)

"Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out of it alive." (Elbert Hubbard)

"Everything works out in the end. If it doesn't work out, it's not the end." (my mother)
