Best Advice You Were Ever Given

We toasted this in the Navy occasionally 

Heres to lying, stealing, cheating, and drinking.
If you must lie, lie to save the life of a friend . 
If you must steal, steal the heart of the one you love. 
If you must cheat, cheat death. 
And if you drink, drink with friends, both old and new.

Trust me... tomorrow you are going to be happy if you wake up in your own bed alone... (long story) 

 
Not sure if this was said...I only went back 3 pages.

1. Don't bite the hand that feeds you

2. This too shall pass 

 
Someone was explaining how whenever in the midst of an unpleasant situation, terrible depression, illness, etc, to have the thought that 'This *will* pass'. It sounds simple, but it's helped me. Whenever things are tough, keep reminding yourself. It will pass. (or at least in most cases). It does help...

Love this. My grandmother who passed away last month (just 5 weeks after my grandfather) used to always sit and listen to us grandkids and our troubles and then calmly reply "this too shall pass". And she was always right :) . 

Best advice I've ever gotten was a lesson from my parents growing up and watching them run their own small business. They always told me "never ask someone working under you to do something that you would not be willing to do yourself." I now run a very large equestrian center for a large non-prof and have a sizable staff and I always keep that in mind. I have a million things going on every day from working with vendors, tracking and scheduling vet, farrier, deliveries, orders, meds, feed, dealing with ridiculous requests from headquarters, meetings, scheduling program, etc. and don't have the time I used to in smaller barns to do the day to day horse care and such. But I make a point of picking up a pitchfork and mucking a stall or two alongside my girls whenever I have the chance. If a toilet needs scrubbing and I have 5 min to spare, I'll scrub it myself rather than delegating it. Because when I am busy and have to delegate, none of my staff ever grumble or slack because if the boss has done it plenty of times, it's no big for them to do it too. I have an amazing and loyal set of staff who I know respect me very much for it. Thanks mom and dad!

Second best piece of advice is a saying from Aussie horse trainer, Clinton Anderson. "Make the right thing easy and the wrong thing hard." It's always work well for me in horse training, staff training, and most successfully in husband training ;) .

My parents- Be yourself, don’t lie, don’t cheat , don’t steal and work hard because there’s no shortcuts in life. . Very simple very effective. When I was younger I couldn’t decide what I wanted to be (I come from a medical family) but i was very artistic and I felt like I would be letting them down if I didn’t follow in their footsteps. Don’t ever think that, do what’s in your heart and even if it doesn’t work out (I’m no longer in the arts) you can live with no regrets.

"Its better to be quiet and thought a fool,  than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

and the one I never think about because it would devastate all those involved.  "would you do that in front of your Mother."  or "would your Mom be proud that you did that?"  :(  Sorry Mom!!

 
"While using, I had two states of being: sick or about to be sick. That's it." --- not really advice but something a rehab counselor said one time that was the truest thing I have ever heard.

...

 
My grandmother told me never to judge anyone because you can never completely know their circumstances.

 
Similarly, a woman who lives by me who i wish was my granny, says: "People see in others what they need to be seeing in themselves". 

 
From my therapist: ‘coping with trauma and depression is a necessity. Whether or not your coping mechanisms are perceived as healthy by society,  living in constant pain or despair causes brain damage that generally lasts longer than coping with droogs and alcohol’  i find, in my deepest depressions, this is  generally true as long as my body and psyche are not in imminent peril. I don’t mean to imply that drug addiction is a suitable form of therapy, but forcing abstinence upon oneself while devoid of support and validation from people who love you can mess you up really bad. Self medication  is a form of self love and I don’t believe anyone should feel guilty for wanting to feel better 

 💙

sorry I’m doing a twofur but at least tied for best is this ‘when you don’t know what to do, do nothing until you know.’ Never fails if you’re willing to lead a fluid life💖✨😚

  1. 3 @ 3ak: @xenxra damn shame, can't find any of the rc stims
  2. xenxra @ xenxra: @3ak mostly, will prob be gone entirely by end of summer imo
  3. F @ frozenSR17: hope everyone has a nice start 2 their weekend. "keep it one hunnid," as someone once said to me
  4. 3 @ 3ak: 4f-mph dried up?
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: pretty sure black also went rogue sometime late last year
  6. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  7. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  8. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  9. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  10. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  11. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  12. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  13. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  14. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
  15. H @ hotdog45: I have never ordered mags from him I meant
  16. H @ hotdog45: @xenxra I thought that too but after digging on the site it is chemical cabinet. Either way I deleted the email. I have ordered mags from him, but I thought you guys should know he's reaching out to people again. After reading the thread if anyone gets an email from him I would suggest doing the same.
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 isn't that ghost? he threw his rep in the trash and got blacklisted
  18. O @ oh be g: thank you! hopefully this will inpsirw someone!
  19. M @ Mokachin0: @oh be g check your dms!
  20. O @ oh be g: these were instilled in me by a coworker who has had about the worst trauma experiences in life and he is still the most positive upbeat guy ive met
