Wow, I almost got confused for a second and thought I could pose a question to my blog readers...but then I realized I have no blog readers. The question was going to be, what are some of your mottos or words you live by? I have many, which manifest themselves in various ways at various times or situations in my life. After all, it's all cyclical (there's a good one for ya). I sometimes try to come up with a few overarching ones that I seem to fall back to most often. One is, "Love hard, when there is love to be had." This is one of my most central beliefs.
In wading through my many mantras, I notice the trend towards a "let it be" philosophy. "So it goes," "It is what it is," and the song "What I Got" by Sublime all fall into this category. And yet I wonder, are these words I actively live by, or are they what I strive for? In day to day instances, I feel that I embody this attitude. I feel that I maintain a calm demeanor about most things. I get called into work on my day off, "so it goes." I have to deal with a particularly stupid customer at Subway, "I don't cry when my dog runs away, I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay..." sings its way into my brain.
And yet, there are many things in my life that, try as I might, I cannot approach with such a blase attitude. I want to, but I can't always bring the cool.
In these instances, my twin mottos emerge, with the wise truths of passion and adventure. Here, I can even more readily admit, these words are goals, rather than constants in my life. Things like, "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing," may be what I want, but are certainly not my everyday realities.
Well, it's midnight on the dot, time to check my blog's stats and see that zero people have read this blog "today." And hey, share your mottos, folks!
