What makes life interesting is that we are always learning. We learn of things that we should do or things to avoid to live a happier life and have a better future. What is the best piece of advice / pearl of wisdom you would like to pass on to the rest of us?

Good one! I have at times spoken without thinking and got into some troubles. These days, I don't speak too much anymore.

Tomorrow always has the potential to be better than today. I remind myself of that when I'm depressed.

That is true and even if it turns out to be worse there's always another tomorrow as long as we keep going.

@annierose The only way to make it through this life is by focusing on the bright side, the positive side, the sunny side of the street.

@1hopefulman Sure. Sometimes when we want to respond to certain situations, it may be better to take a step back and just say nothing. After all, silence is a response.

I get what you mean. To be honest life is filled with many awful things to one who is aware. Yet, we can't focus on the pain but on the good and the future hope.

@1hopefulman I will not say life is filled with so many awful things , life is balanced with good and tough circumstances.. we cannot just take the good and grumble about the bad.. Do we ever ask why me when good things come to us?

@1hopefulman I really believe it is the only one you need. If you try to see things from where someone else is standing you are likely to be much more sympathetic.

@1hopefulman If you have bad thoughts, you will have bad things, and if you always think positively you will attract good things.

I love this thread. As for me, just because my boyfriend and I no longer have a communication, i just tell myself don't be too sad. I tell myself that if we are really meant to be, then no matter how long we get separated, we will be together again.
