Whats YOUR creed?

[paigevz]

Oh my, MUST I have a creed?

I guess it depends on the situation..........often I think of songs to tell myself what I need to do........for instance, I have two for pulling into the school parking lot........one is "just keep swimming, swimming, swimming" (I use that one at other times too) and one (if I had a bad day the day before) "I get knocked down, but I get up again, you ain't never gonna keep me down".

When I am trying to decide to let my kids do something, I use "Give them wings and let them fly".

When I am worried about my son, I use "Just train 'em the best you can and then cross your fingers and hold on".

I do also use "There but for the Grace of God" especially if one of my sons says something unthoughtful about someone..........

I don't have a one size fits all.

My husband bought me a plaque-thing that says, "Enjoy Yourself: It's Later Than You Think." He didn't know it was a song.

I worried a little too much when I was younger. So, I keep the "Enjoy yourself" thing in mind.

DH also made me fall in love with him by always -no matter WHAT! - saying, "It'll be fine." That's something else I try to remember and say a lot..."It'll be fine." (It usually will!)

"Dont judge someone until you walk a mile in their shoes, that way when you judge them, you are a mile away and you have their shoes"

"change the world every day"

"Life is Good" (thats what my hat says!)

I live by what's in my signature.

When you wish upon a star - your dreams definitly do come true!!!

I have had many rough moments in my life, and this saying always kept me on track. I actually told my DH that when I die, I want When you Wish Upon A Star played at my wake/funeral because this is my favorite song, and I believe it has worked for me many many times.

Better to be alone then to wish you were.

I actually have 2 believe it or not

The other one is (stemming from my first post)

Always let your conscience by your guide

Said by our good friend Jiminy Cricket

I even have him dangling from my rear-view mirror to remind me of this everyday!!

 

[Cool-Beans]

"Less Talk, More Rock."

That's another good one.

"He who saves one life, saves the world entire"

This is one of my favorite sayings.

Its actually an emily dickenson poem

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin,
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

hm. Pretty good for not having read that in years.

 

[Stacerita]

It IS all about me!!

Also......

I took the road less traveled by.....and that has made all the difference.

Also,

Give all you can, take nothing back.

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. It has saved me from a lot of heartbreak.

Also: You DO have a choice. I apply it not only to myself, but to others.

 

[maddhatir]

this is SO true:

Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles,
it empties today of its strength!
