I was in the hospital for depression. What helped me the most was we had to come to come up with a Positive Affirmation or inspirational mantra everyday. It keeps me from getting too negative and beating myself up.

What are some sayings you have that help you to stay positive?

Trying... is it's own reward.

All those who wander are not lost. - Tolkein

What's behind me... Is not important - Raul Julia, 'The Gumball Rally'

If you are not a little bit out of control, you are not pushing hard enough - Mario Andretti

It's not if you get knocked down. It's how quick you get back up. - Vince Lombardi

Fall down 7 times, get up 8. - Japanese proverb

A gentleman always does the right thing. It is simple, but not always easy.

May I disagree there with you, lad? What's behind you can change you from lad to lady... If you see what I did there...

I have two philosophies...
1. There is always balance, so for every bad thing, that happens to me, sooner or later there will be a good thing, that will happen to me...
2. Don't get life to seriously. You aren't going to get out of it alive anyway...

YingYang = Life in Balance.
I call Bi-Polar the scary roller coaster from hell.
Even when I am screaming towards the ground at 100 MPH, I know things will be looking up soon.

What I mean is to not dwell on our past "mistakes." We can only change our futures, so keep looking forward.
I appreciate your humor. Making life FUN is so important.

  1. Don't Panic (Shamelessly stolen from Douglas Adams. For if you Do Panic you'll break rule number 2)

  2. No Stupid (Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid ~ Albert Einstein. This will prevent 99% of mistakes/issues from happening that would of otherwise would happened.)

  3. Keep Walking (That 1% of mistakes/issues that happen no matter what is things you have to just take. Not lying down mind you, but take them as nice as you can. Don't hold grudges. You must never stop walking forward in life.)

I was asked a sick friend how she was feeling. She said "I'm slightly better, but this, but that..." I replied:
"Slightly is better. Woo Hoo!"

If you're smart and talented tell yourself, "I need more money."

You've never been spelunking or cave exploring :P If for some reason you find yourself around Austin or San Antonio Texas there's quite a few caves to explore around the area. 8/10, it's pretty cool for a small day thing.
