I keep seeing the other post "Ignorant things people have said to you".

How about good advice, or encouraging stuff, surely some of you have been told things that were really helpful. or amazing advice you have been given. and it doesn't just have to be dialysis related just useful life advice ???.

 ??? ??? :-\

Great idea for a thread, however lets keep it dialysis related or we will have to move this thread to Off-Topic.  :) In fact I think this would be a great Off-Topic thread.

You know what? With recent events that have taken place I think this is perfect and just what we needed!! Thank you for this!!

here is good advice my mom has told me:

  • Not everyone has to like you! Just be YOURSELF!
  • Always talk things out! If you are too mad to talk without trying to hurt the other person, write it out and read it later! Give yourself time to think about how you feel before you blast the other person!
  • Always try to put yourself in the other person's shoes! Life is not always greener on the other side once you have to mow their lawn ...

I've heard something similar...before you judge someone, walk a mile in their shoes.  Then you'll be a mile away AND have their shoes. LOL   ;D

"Never Give Up!"

"Don't talk about death, I've got too much life to live, To many orders to give.^^"

"I'ma live my life until the last sin, then resurrect through the birth of my son and live again.^^"

"I hope to go to Heaven but I got friends in both places"

"The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be."



I don't know where they got it from but I thought some were funny and some helpful

When you are going through hell keep on walking.

You are one hell of an example to others.

If you are going to be worried every time the universe does not make sense you are going to be worried every moment everyday for the rest of your life.  spoken by G'Kar on Babylon5 TV show

Courage does not always roar, sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying :"I will try again tomorrow."
