Wise words

Do you ever come across a saying (or make it up) that is meaningful, perhaps motivates you to do or think about things differently.

For example, I read that 
"Nothing is waste until its thrown away". 
So those plastic pots that are reused every year are not waste until they're cracked and useless. If they're thrown away immediately after purchase, they are definitely waste. Made me feel better about hoarding them. Big Grin

Another one, when I was in the garden and didn't know where to start weeding. Everywhere I looked there were docks that needed to be dug up. The more I thought about which ones to start with, the less time I had to get on and do it. Then a thought came into my mind:-
"Every journey starts with a single step" so I grabbed the nearest dock and pulled it up. There was no stopping me then because, it just didn't matter which ones came up first as long as some did.

Any words of wisdom to share please?

"Do something every day that scares you"

Acknowledge the fear, trust yourself and do it anyway Smile

Not sure I like that one, I'm scared of a huge amount of things, decisions mostly. Probably not scared of making a fool of myself though  Tongue

There are a couple that I think apply to Veggie and her life ethic ATM Smile

'Waste not want not'

"If you don't start, you won't finish."

One for us prevaricators, that. Alternatively:

"You're going to have to do it sometime, why not do it now?"

We always said to each other "Don't put it down, put it away".
I often hear my inner voice telling me that - most times I can ignore it. Big Grin

Sounds like P, I'm a procrastinator so I leave him to it.
