When my husband graduated from Infantry training, the general who spoke at the ceremony said this:

"This is the life you chose."

He reminded them that they would all deploy within a year, and would many times wonder why they had to work so hard and suffer so much and be away from their families. He wasn't wrong. But my husband and I would remind each other of that phrase and move past the complaints. After all, we'd chosen it.

This has helped me so many times. Whatever happens, I have a choice about the outcome. When I wonder why my job is going crappy or why school is so hard...I just remind myself that I am responsible for it, not someone else. And I am responsible for doing something about it.

Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.

Not a Star Wars fan, but this scrolled across the screen of the computer I used for school to remind me the only option was success.

I have been using the Nemo "just keep swimming" for YEARS!!! I sing it in my head, if nothing else it makes me smile! I also pass it on to any person I encounter that is struggling.

Nemo is good for a lot of life lessons.
