To me realisation is key, for instance once you realise if something is good or bad for you, you can make the decision on how to change it. Never take your self to seriously and my person big one - dont live in the past - the mind is a powerful thing, I believe, if you have the mindset, be positive you can do, achieve anything.
So they are a few that I've learnt while growing up, however, I want to know more, I don't quite no what to call them, but what things have got you through your life?
What do you tell your self when your at your lowest? Or just need that little push?

Main thing that's gotten me through life is knowing that I have made it this far.
I used to be a born-again christian. When I was in my early 30s, I worked out that it's all nonsense and that there is no God. Thinking about my future, I was frightened, I felt like I was walking a tightrope and always thought there was a net there to catch men, and suddenly found out that there is actually no net at all.
But then I noticed that, well, most people make it through life reasonably ok. Bad things happen, but mostly they don't. I wasn't any less able to navigate life than all of these millions of other people.
So maybe what got me through that stage was deciding that I wasn't so special, that the world isn't all about me. I'm just people, and that's ok.

My husband has one "You haven't failed until you're dead." Not as good as Advicemans motto, but it means basically the same thing. We all fail in life at something, but the option to get better is always there as long as you are alive. In this way, you learn to treasure life and not let the learning process failures hold you back from actually living your life and striving to improve.
I tell myself often, "Life is like being in school lifelong as we never stop learning something til the day we die." This helps me to not compare myself or my lot in life to someone else. Because like school, people can be at different grade levels in their learning adventure or what they need to learn is different path than mine, like a different school, privare tutuoring, etc... so I never look at someone else and say, "It's not fair I don't have...."

I have had a motto that has stood the test of time and made me one of the top sales man in my company just about every year until I had to retire due to an auto accident I was in. Even then this motto still motivates me daily.
The motto; "The only person I have to be better than tomorrow is the person I am today."
What does this mean? To me it meant I didn't have to buy into all the motivational gobbly gook management spews out to get us to promote more orders. I knew I was a good salesman. What I need to do to both motivate myself and to help me grow my business was to learn something new each day. I felt if I learned something new each day either about my business my customers business or myself than I was a better person today then I was yesterday.
As a result of adopting this motto I never worried about how may orders I wrote. I knew if I didn't write one today I would write two or three tomorrow. What really caught my sales managers attention was after I was injured my sales for the following four months did not decline as by living my motto I had learned how and taught my customers how to program their needs and order placements along with procuring future orders from their customers for them and with them.
I don't know exactly what it is you are trying to achieve. What I do know is if you set a goal to learn something new each day that will propel you towards that goal. You will grow as a person, you will be a better person each day then you were the day before and you will obtain your goal.

I find "You won't always feel the way you do right now" isn't a bad outlook. When things are bad and you've got a crap hand, it will pass and there'll be another game. When things are going great and you've got a good hand, have fun and make the very most you can of it...because although you'd like to keep them, the great times pass too. And learn to recognise when a thing's dead in ther water and don't waste any more time wishing and prodding at it. It ain't gonna happen. Accept it amd move on.
