Tell us about a value that you live by, whatever it might be. Try to stick to just one principle per post, with only short examples, instead of writing a full detailed list. For the sake of not derailing the thread, I would be glad if we didn't directly mention politics or religion.

I'll begin:

When dealing with difficult situations, detach yourself from emotions of fear/anger/stress by thinking of them as clouds passing by, rather than storms that you get sucked into. This means that in your mind, instead of saying "I'm scared" you should detach yourself from that emotion by saying "I feel fear". This makes you think of fear as a separate entity from you, which will make it easier to take the next step in whatever you are doing, or going through.

Take care of yourself before you take care of others, you have to make sure you are doing okay and are capable first.

Its okay to be vulnerable and to ask for help.

Make sure you look after your money and it will look after you.

Be kind but dont be foolish, you have value so make sure people want you, not what you have or can give them.

Smile when you are upset and learn to laugh when you are angry <3

If you want something dont stop until you have it.

Take a moment every now and then to evaluate your life and to appreciate what you have, in those moments think about what you need to improve and what you want to do next. Compartmentalization is extremely beneficial

So much stress from work, family and society, it's hard to hold it together sometimes. Luckily I just killed a raccoon with my bare hands and ate it raw, then I took a ♥♥♥♥ in the woods.

I was about to tell you you've clearly never seen how vicious a raccoon can be when threatened... and then I realized you're the Keymaster, a minion of Gozer.

Though, why not simply hunt prey in your Terror Dog form?

Do understand that you're on your own and always will be.

Sure, sure, people do care about each other, but it only ever goes halfway through - Nobody's got the time or resources to do things for two..

What I mean to say is, don't expect other people to return the favour. Most people who do that are already doing so out of their own will without expecting anything in return, though it isn't exactly pleasant to not even receive a thank you to highlight the lent hand. Everybody loves attention, and this little bit of a gesture doesn't even take much effort.

Life is suffering, loss, and hardships. Understand that god is real and actually read your bible. Do the dishes immediately after dinner and clean up messes right away to avoid giant messes that suck. You could either spend 30 minutes a day picking up/cleaning or hours cleaning once in a while. The hours feel way worse.

Chose the people you surround yourself with. They effect you in many ways you will never know.
Likewise, look carefully at your friends. Sometimes they really aint your friends after all.
Also, its not selfish to need space.
