What is the best advice you have ever received?

[Josefine]

A child who has gone to bed hungry for days will not complain about the texture or flavor of the food he's been given. A king who has gained riches, influence, and wisdom from being on the throne will not complain about the weight of the crown on his head.

This is another piece of advice that I find very powerful. I take it to mean that we should always be grateful for the things that we have in life. God has given us so much, and we should never complain about things that we are so blessed to have in the first place. Any time I find myself complaining about something such as having to go to school, I remember this advice and remind myself that it's a blessing that I even have access to a good education. It shouldn't be "I have to go to school", it should be "I GET to go to school".

This is something that I think is always important to keep in mind.

Have a blessed day, everyone ❤

do not be afraid to fail.

A powerful message. It reminded me of this quote from one of my favorite books:

“Inej had once offered to teach him how to fall. 'The trick is not getting knocked down,' he'd told her with a laugh. 'No, Kaz,' she'd said, 'the trick is in getting back up.'"

― Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

Respect is earned not entitled

Exactly.

Well, I had one, but everyone else is being serious, so I'll just keep it to myself....

As a person who has gained much , lost a lot also, but still has enough. I can tell you that perspective is everything.
Only the Lord was able to open my eyes, the natural man would have been broken going through what I went through.

My mamma told me, "Never lose your sense of humor". That was valuable advice.

Mamma always gives good advice.

Respect is a two way street.

Since when has that ever stopped you?

For that matter, since when has that ever stopped me?
