Absolutly I do. I have a few. The primary one being Identify Adapt Overcome, which if I am not mistaken is from the navy seals. It is true. Identify the issue, figure out how to adapt to it and over come it. It applies to everything in life and I do mean everything. The other one that is big is “live in the time you can thats all” meaning if you need to live life for a bit second by second, you do. If you need to live minute by minute as thinking ahead is to much then do so and do it with pride. If you need to life hour by hour, or day by day, it doesn’t matter as it is what YOU need to do to get through that spot in life. The third is Attitude is Everything. And it really is. Would you rather care for a patient who while they are in pain and so out of sorts who is cracking wise even if they fall flat and who is smiling. After all no point it making them miserable because we are. Or would you want to care for that patient who is buzzing every two mintues for something, and complains your to slow and that they hurt and etc. Its easier to get through with a smile and bad humor then making everyone else miserable as they also make you smile in return.
So three sayins:
Identify, Adapt, Overcome
Live in the time you can that’s all.
Attitude is Everything
These are the sayings that get me through anything life throws at me, even the days I am struggling and are darker, they even got me through the loss of my daughter before she could go to preschool. I can think about the happy times and not shatter instead I can have that wistful smile that shows the pain and yet you can see the happiness through that dark cloud that covers things in life. These sayings have kept me alive when nothing else could cut through the darkness those sayings were light houses in the night on a stormy night. They guided me through safely to my next destination on the path we call life. These three sayings are all I have ever needed and they were hard to learn to live by but oh so worth it. My sincerest hope is that if you need to hear one of those sayings that you find this post and you read what you need to read. Also if you need send me a message and vent it all out, I may not respond in depth however I will always read the entire thing and be there to listen and go through the storm with you. I thrive helping others so you are not putting stress on me if you do this. You are actually helping me answer my calling so you are not alone m’kay? There is always someone to lean on and be your rock and it is perfectly ok to say “i need help” in fact that is a sign of sheer bravery and wisdom to say those three words. It is ok to say “I am not okay” in fact as hard as it is to say, it is helpful in a strange way. It makes you normal, everyone has those times in life. Your reaction to those times define you and have made you who you are. Be fucking proud of your battle scars, they say you made it. You made it.


I would love to hear from you!
