Life is too short. And then I fill in the blank. "life is too short to wrestle with these sterile gloves, get a new packet", "life is too short to worry about a fruit or veggie at every meal, go ahead and have Cheerios for supper" You get the idea

"Don't do what you want. Do what you don't want. Do what you've been trained not to want. Do what scares you the most."

This helps me a lot when I'm in a situation that feels uncomfortable, stressful, or maybe just downright gross. It's a reminder to myself that I'm pushing my boundaries and, in turn, becoming a stronger person.

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." I have had lots of opportunities through the years to prove that one. Also, "Weeellllll, it could be a lot worse."
