Words to live by

We all know the 'dance like there is no one watching' saying. I think there are many other words of wisdom that are reassuring and reaffirming when the going gets tough. It might be interesting to post your favourite. Here are some of mine

I WILL NEVER SACRIFICE JOY OVER PRACTICALITY.

or

WE ASK OURSELVES
WHO ARE WE
TO BE
BRILLIANT,GORGEOUS,TALENTED AND FABULOUS
WE SHOULD ASK OURSELVES
WHO ARE WE
NOT TO BE

my new favourite

THE LONGER I LIVE, THE MORE I REALIZE THE IMPACT OF ATTITUDE ON LIFE.
ATTITUDE, TO  ME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FACTS. IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN
THE PAST, THAN EDUCATION, THAN FAILURES, THAN SUCCESSES, THAN WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OR SAY OR DO.
IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN APPEARANCE, GIFTEDNESS, OR SKILL.
IT WILL MAKE OR BREAK A COMPANY...A CHURCH...A HOME
THE REMARKABLE THING IS WE HAVE A CHOICE EVERYDAY REGARDING THE ATTITUDE WE WILL EMBRACE FOR THAT DAY.
WE CANNOT CHANGE OUR PAST. WE CANNOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WILL ACT IN A CERTAIN WAY. WE CANNOT CHANGE THE INEVITABLE. THE ONLY THING WE CAN DO IS PLAY ON THE ONE STRING WE HAVE, AND THAT IS OUR ATTITUDE. I AM CONVINCED THAT LIFE IS 10% WHAT HAPPENS TO ME AND 90% HOW I REACT TO IT. AND SO IT IS WITH YOU....WE ARE IN CHARGE OF OUR ATTITUDES.
