ITT: The best advice you've ever gotten from anyone (srs)

[MirinGrains]

When I was going through a bad phase of anxiety, "There are people in cemeteries all over the world that wish they had this problem". No matter how devistating your problems are, you're still breathing and that's one step above millions and millions of people who are not fortunate to be above ground.

OP I don't know about you but I live in nature, where everything is connected, circular. The seasons are circular. The planet is circular, and so is its passage around the sun. The course of water over the earth is circular, coming down from the sky and circulating through the world to spread life and then evaporating up again.

Do people live in circles today? No. They live in boxes. They wake up every morning in the box of their bedroom because a box next to them started making beeping noises to tell them it was time to get up. They eat their breakfast out of a box and then they throw that box away into another box. Then they leave the box where they live and get into a box with wheels and drive to work, which is just another big box broken up into lots of little cubicle boxes where a bunch of people spend their days sitting and staring at the computer boxes in front of them.

When the day is over, everyone gets into the box with wheels again and goes home to their house boxes and spends the evening staring at the television boxes for entertainment. They get their music from a box, they get their food from a box, they keep their clothing in a box, they live their lives in a box!
Does that sound like anybody you know? Break out of the box! You don't have to live like this because people tell you it's the only way. You're not handcuffed to your culture! This is not the way humanity lived for thousands and thousands of years, and it is not the only way you can live today!

When I was at basic training my grandpa said this in a letter he sent me(the comment obviously refers to basic training). I don't think I've ever had someone say something motivational to me that I remembered for so long. Love him to death though so that probably plays into it

I never get into that motivational quote BS but there was one I heard recently that made sense to me
“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.” - Lance Armstrong.
Only get one shot at any thing you ever do. Always pops into my head mid-set or mid-run. This is the only time I'll ever do THIS set, don't puss out.

" don't stress about the way someone you've never seen or met thinks about you, in 2 days, they will not remember you. Do not someone of such insignificance change your views, goals, or desires.)

This one really stuck with me. It's from Randy Pausch in one of his last speeches before he died.

"Couch Graham rode you pretty hard. Thats a good thing. When you're screwing up and nobody is saying anything to you anymore, that means they gave up. When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody is bothering to tell you anymore... thats a very bad place to be. Your critics are the ones telling you they still love you and care."

Honorable mention. This little quote will fill your mind full of *%*#...

�Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is...The only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds.� - Dan Millman
