Thinking out Loud...Inspiration for Life November 10, 2018 18:25

When I was growing up my mother was full of wisdom and had a saying for most situations…

“If it doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger”

“If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”

“Shit happens…it’s how you deal with it that matters”

“Who said life was going to be easy?”

“Treat others as you would wish to be treated”

Unorthodox to say the least, parent in her parenting approach she understood that life is a complex game and you have to stand true to your beliefs and your values.

So if life is a game… its ‘lessons’ are the cards you are dealt…a mix of chance and luck (and hopefully not too much cheating) but most importantly they are ‘character building’…that was what I grew up believing, there is something to be learned from the hard times, even if you can’t see it when its happening
