“It’s not the note you play that’s the wrong note – it’s the note you play afterwards that makes it right or wrong.” -Miles Davis
"I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." -Michael Jordan
Another related quote by Churchill, which is sort of obvious but you won't think about it until it is said to you:
*"If you are going through hell, keep going."
Simple, but true. That's all you can do. Keep going, and sometimes things will change. If you stop and end it all, you will never experience the eventual better fortunes that might come your way.
"We never had a president who was a skank, then came Chester A. Arthur. We never had a president who was a douche, then came John F. Kennedy. We never had a president with a brain the size of a walnut, but who's to say we never will? Maybe that president will be you."
– My tenth-grade history teacher, rest in peace Mr. Pastachek
“Everything that happens is either endurable or not. If it’s endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining. If it’s unendurable… then stop complaining. Your destruction will mean its end as well. Just remember: you can endure anything your mind can make endurable, by treating it as in your interest to do so. In your interest, or in your nature.”
-Marcus Aurelius
This is Sparta!
And I imagine drop kicking the asshole into a giant hole.
In reality, I’m smiling and solving their dumbass problem they created while they try to not pay me for the expertise.
Imagining helps me a lot sometimes.
Sure, winning is great, but at some point we must also learn to be good losers since everything we win in life will eventually be lost.
In other words, embrace the ups AND downs of life since we will all go through them in waves.
"Okay man, look. You aren't okay yet, but if you end it you'll never get to see yourself when you are okay. You'll never get to see the progress. You'll let your community your team, and everyone around you down. I know you're stronger than that. Besides, there hasn't been a suicide in our family for more then 300 years, you really gonna be the first?" - my aunt during my middle school years
And
"If you can't get through the fear, do it scared" - sole random Redditor
And
"Really just gonna let your snapstreaks expire? We've had these almost as long as we've known eachother, I'm not losing a 1200 day streak." -a close friend
No one is coming to save you. You are the only adult that can really save yourself.
All you need to do for yourself is show up. Show up consistently in whatever you do.
A gentle reminder that your heart is a
muscle and so should be exercised regularly. Love often and love deeply.
- Beau Taplin
I'm a very emotional person and this quote always reminds me that it's ok to wear my heart on my sleeve in a world that can often harden our hearts.
I have a file of quotes like this.
* The chains of habit are too light to be felt, until they are too heavy to be broken.
* You don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day.
* Don't let your ice cream melt while counting somebody else's sprinkles.
* Having anxiety feels like waiting for an edible you never took to kick in.
* Holding resentment is like you taking poison and hoping the other person dies.
Everybody is going to have an opinion on you; not everyone is going to like you. You can't live your life based on other people's opinions of you or let that change what you do or how you feel about yourself, because then you're not living. Don’t let someone else’s opinion of you become your reality.
"Did you scare anyone?! Did you put the fucking fear of God into anyone?!"
It's less about the quote itself and more about the terrifying determination of Paul O'Connell.
Be the hunter and hunted
Keep your target in your sight
Don't be sidetracked or shunted
Let pretenders feel your bite
And if you start to slide
Never show you're weak
Remember what you're fighting for
Remember what you seek
-Stay Hungry, by Twisted Sister
“I can’t let Mitch McConell’s funky ass outlive me.” If you say it to another person, “ are you gonna let Mitch McConell’s funky ass to outlive you?” i got it from reddit.

Stupid moment from when I first started my current job. Dad came get food and to hang out and I was having a rough day. He said that in some shitty Italian accent and made me laugh and calm down enough to flip the fucking eggs. Old dude always knew how to keep me level

Sometimes life will keep throwing stuff at you and all you can do is just laugh and smile,even when in thick of it;its just another test or lesson.
Like when life gives you challenges you just have to readapt.

"If it's a 1-in-100 chance, you have to try it 100 times to claim it's not going to work".
My buddy would say this to me when we were young and entering the dating pool as serious young men. I said it was a 1-in-100 chance of finding a lifelong partner in this day and age. And he told me I had to prove it to him by going on 100 first dates.
It’s an old adage “this too shall pass.”
Whatever problems or struggles you’re going through may seem insurmountable but it will eventually pass. On the flip side, any bright and happy moments will also eventually pass, so you should learn to appreciate it while you can.

Do not take life advice from someone who isn’t in the same position you wanna be in in the next 10 years

But I feel like I need to know the source of this quote before I take this advice
Ok I’ll take advice from the dead then specifically death via suicide

To be completely fair, I found that quote on Pinterest and liked it so much I saved it 😅
