Knowing what you know at this moment, what's the best piece of wisdom you can muster?

Don't listen to the voices..??

If I had to narrow it down to ONE thing, it would be to ALWAYS LIVE MINDFULLY.

That means that you need to watch out for, and carefully examine, and take personal responsibility for any and all assumptions, guesses, and "rules" which you go with.

Rise above it all.

I disagree. Some of your suggestions are harmful.

And "rules".. what if they're no such thing?

Save for retirement.

To always remember you are you and that is important...

Think ... then try to do the right thing.

Don't eat the yellow snow.
Don't eat the dog doo snow cones.
Don't go where the huskies go.

Don't listen to heresay, make your own mind up about people.

I think you must have entirely misunderstood what I said. The point is to have your own understanding of how to conduct your life, to be aware of whatever rules YOU have made or chosen from others, and to take active responsibility for all of your choices. Even when "rules" are made by others, take responsibility for choosing to follow them.

If you decide not to accept or formulate any rules, then take responsibility for that, and for whatever consequences there are for you from that choice as well.

live according to your beliefs and don't let others make you doubt yourself

If you know anyone with a mental illness, and you think they're trying to offend you, they aren't. It's easy to take it personally. They always go through bad moments. It isn't on purpose.

Life is too short to be serious all the time.
If you take yourself lightly and don't take yourself too seriously, pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives.

follow your gut/instinct/conscience, others aren't always right when they try to encourage/discourage you

stop rationalizing the things you want to do,,,that gut/stigma may be an instinctive survival thing,,,

forget what others think or say...

just learn to like yourself.... its okay if you don't think. or look the same as everyone else...... you have just as much right to be out here.. as everyone else...... be..the snow flake..

.

take the time to put the seat up.... it really,really bothers them when you don't

When you find the love of your life, the one, the soulmate. When you tie the knot. BUILD a mancave!

Be who you gonna be baby. some will like ya. some won't and so be it

Fart ... then blame someone else.
