Always look out for number 1. Don't step in number 2.

"Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe."

According to Cliff Clavin, it is a comfortable pair of shoes.

To have someone to love, to have something to do right now and to have something to look forward to.

I also like my CUT as a part of this philosophy.


Edited to add: Oh yeah, and a million trillion dollars.

Life is easy when you have zero expectations.

Enjoy the journey, not the arrival

Atman is Brahman.
Form is Emptiness.
Jesus is Lord.
Hear, O Israel...
Ek Ongkar.
The Uncarved Block.

Something along that line of thinking... Endure with patience and a good will.

When Banzan was walking through a market he overheard a conversation between a butcher and his customer.

"Give me the best piece of meat you have," said the customer.

"Everything in my shop is the best," replied the butcher. "You cannot find here any piece of meat that is not the best."

At these words Banzan became enlightened.

Rule #1: Don't sweat the small stuff.

Rule #2: It's all small stuff.

Illigitimi non carborundum.

Awesome genetics.

"To plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit."

There's no better way to learn how to live than to escape dying by miracle or luck on several occasions. The secret to life for me has always been my faith (which is tested often), my daughter and wife, my German Shepherds, and a large number of close Southern family and friends, and my hobbies which have remained consistent through my prior divorce. Stay interested, stay curious.

Here's what Big Willie said:
To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as night the day, thou canst be false to any man.
Also:
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.

Couple of guys sittin' around drinkin'
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of 'em says, "You know I've been thinking"
Other one says, "That won't get you too far"
He says, "This is your life, and welcome to it
It's just workin' and drinkin' and dreams
Ad on TV says ?Just Do It'
Hell if I know what that means"
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is a beautiful woman
And Marilyn stares down from the barroom wall
"You and me, we're just a couple of zeros
Just a couple of down-and-outs
But movie stars and football heroes
What have they got to be unhappy about?"
So they turn to the bartender, "Sam, what do you think?
What's the key that unlocks that door?"
Sam don't say nothin', just wipes off the bar
And he pours them a couple more
'Cause the secret of life is in Sam's martinis
The secret of life is in Marilyn's eyes
The secret of life is in Monday Night Football
Rolling Stones records and Mom's apple pie
Sam looks up from his Sunday paper
Says, "Boys, you're on the wrong track
The secret of life is there ain't no secret
And you don't get your money back"
Hey
The secret of life is gettin' up early
The secret of life is stayin' up late
The secret of life is try not to hurry
But don't wait
Don't wait
The secret of life is a good cup of coffee
The secret of life is keep your eye on the ball
The secret of life is to find the right woman
The secret of life is nothin' at all
Oh, it's nothin' at all
The secret of life
Couple of guys sittin' around drinkin'
Down at the Starlight Bar
One of 'em says, "You know I've been thinking"
Other one says, "That won't get you too far"
"That won't get you too far"
