(no subject)
Well, its been over a day now in 2007. So I suppose I’m a little late in my New Years post. I wasn’t going to make one at all, honestly, but something made me want to. I went through a lot of bad things in ’06, and I know many of you did too- but there were also good things.
Last year, what got me through a bunch of tough situations was repeating to myself “Observe, don’t worry. Learn, don’t hurt.”
It sounds terribly lame, I know, but when I had to face people that had hurt me- or even things as simple as seeing them laughing with someone else I would repeat that over and over in my head. And I did learn a lot last year, if there was nothing else to say about 2006- I learned a lot and improved a lot.
I kind of live my life by two words, and often repeat just the two in my mind- “Observe,” and “Truth.” But that one phrase was just mine.
So, in a kind of meme-ish question- do you guys have any phrases or habits you do to help get you through?
