This too shall pass...
Be kind, everyone is fighting a battle...
Listen to the right voices, so you can make the right choices...
You must look at what's left, not at what's lost...
Stability in the storm comes not from seeking a new message, but from understanding an old one.
The most reliable anchor points are not recent discoveries, but are time-tested truths that have held their ground against the winds of change.Truths like:
My life is not futile.
My failures are not fatal.
You can never get to the right place on the wrong road.

From a friends dad when I was abt 19.  "Don't leave a pot full of screamin' hot oil and french fries on the stove cooking and go outside to smoke a cigarette & talk on the phone."  This was after I asked what had happened to the cabinets in the kitchen.  They were all burnt!  He got the fire out before it took over the entire kitchen but the front of the cabinets were all charred.  Lucky for him they had fire extinguisher nearby!

"Remember to blow the pilot light on the furnace out and shut off the gas before re-tiling the kitchen floor!"  When I was 6, our neighbors hired people from their church who didn't know what they were doing and weren't licensed or bonded!  When the glue fumes ignited it sounded like an explosion.  The fire caught our house on fire too but the fire dept. got ours out with minimal damage.  The neighbors house burned to the ground.

One saying that helped me a lot was one I got directly from a older patient when I first started dialysis

He said to me "If you can beat it here *pointing to his head* then the rest is easy"

It was not especially eloquent but I have found it to be very true

Suicidal Tendencies (my fav band) have a song called "No F*** Problem" which contains the line "You aint alive, if you aint living" - sounds fair to me! But more than that, their song "The Feeling's Back" is one that I find really positive. I posted the lyrics in that thread for song lyrics, whatever it was called.... it must be in this Off Topic section somewhere.
