Doesn’t have to be a life motto. Any motto, for any application.

Mine is: “Fear is shorter than regret.”

    “I’m just a monkey lookin’ at a monolith.” said in the strong southern drawl possible.

    Very good for technical situations where I’m stumped.

    Don’t craft a well thought out response to someone John Brown would have shot [absolutely necessary for getting through the internet] and don’t give two weeks notice to a job that makes you miserable [absolutely necessary for leaving a shitty work situation].

    “If you don’t want life you fuck you, be a dick, not an asshole” /J

    I don’t actually have a life motto, but I do like hearing other people’s. I’ll find one that jives with me eventually, till then I survive.

    Me and my wife’s motto: Vi klarer alt, translated as We can do/endure everything. Usually accompanied by us clinking our wedding rings.

    “I like my coffee bitter, like life”

    “If it tastes good It is not healthy”

    Just to clarify, I am not a super healthy eater. I like to use this expression when the topic comes up to point out that there is no magic and is a miserable experience to lose weight and eat better, better to come to terms with it.

    Yeah. I am not a super positive person.

      To follow up with yours.

      “It has to be worth the calories.”

      If you’re going to eat unhealthy then make sure it’s damn tasty and not sad eating.

        That is the worst when it happens. Like the calories sure are there how they make this pizza/burguer/soda/whatever tastes so bland?

    Be morally better than average. If you justify being bad by saying everyone else is doing it, you’re not helping the downward spiral. Because bad people and people with no choice make things worse on average.
