What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given, something that really stuck with you or changed how you think or live? It could be from anybody. Big or small, sometimes one simple line can make a huge difference. Mine: “Take life one day at a time.” It reminded me not to rush everything or worry too much about the future, and to just handle today as it comes.

Seize the day, that is the best advice, we never know when our day will be also our last.

"Keep moving forward" I remember the motivational speech actor Sylvester Stallone gave to his son Vito Mentiviglia on paying the price for being successful in life.

My mom once told me never to marry a man thinking you’ll change him. Because you probably won’t, and if you do it will take a lot of prayer.

My grandfather said, "Never be afraid to give air to your opinion, as it is as valuable as anyone else's."

Everyone's perspective matters, and it's important to feel confident sharing your own thoughts and opinions.

@Tendz09 Yes, everybody has a different platform to view from, and we should never put down someone for thinking differently than ourselves.

i have a few but one stands out to get over issues that look intractable to solve. "This too shall pass" - denoting nothing is permanent - the good times and the bad.

That perspective helps us stay grounded during struggles and grateful during good times.
