No murders. Everything else you can apologize for.
Before you criticize a man, you should walk a mile in his shoes. That way if he gets angry, you’re a mile away! And you’ve got his shoes!
Try to live a happy life imposing as little as possible on others.
Paraphrased from Forrest Gump.
“Well, I’ve come this far. Might as well keep going.”
It’s great, because you just lie to yourself about the starting point of any task, and it doesn’t seem so bad.
If I’ve survived from birth until now, then I guess I can survive doing the dishes.
I was just about to give up on dishes thank you kind stranger
"Anything that isn't nothing"
Helps me push through when executive dysfunction hits. Getting outside for even just a little bit is a whole lot better than staying inside while telling myself I'm going to run 3 miles, for example
"Don't say things about someone behind their back, if you wouldn't be prepared to say it to their face"
I like this one, but looking at it from a different angle I say nice things about people behind their backs pretty regularly that I absolutely would not be prepared to say to their face cuz toxic masculinity. Anybody have tips on how I can keep working on the opposite of this problem? 😭
Funny... I think the internet's motto is the exact opposite of this lol
