Don't let the fact that you can only do a little stop you from doing anything at all.

I like this one! I needed a good way to wrap my head around jumping into the uncertain. Thank you!

Stay in your lane, and don't spend time worrying about what other people have and do not have, even though that is the DCUM way!

Don't make a choice because everyone says it's what you're "supposed" to do.

+1. Whenever I've gone through a tough time, I've turned to meditation. Not trying to be an advertisement, but Deepak Chopra's 21 day free meditations changed my life. They gave me a totally new perspective on every difficulty I've ever faced.

Is your childhood friend actually a liar who only cares about herself? Don't speak to her anymore!
Is your boyfriend unfaithful and rude to his mom? Dump him!
Is your boss a racist and expects way too much from you for the little pay you receive? Find a new job!

This has been my mindset for years and I am happier than ever. Of course, many people do not have the privilege of moving or changing jobs, so there are a lot of caveats. But if you have the chance to leave a bad situation or remove someone toxic from your life, do it. Its hard because we crave stability and long-term connections, but if someone/something is dragging you down, its best to cut it off.

I think this is incredibly important. It took me a long time to realize this. Will teach it to my children as they grow up.
