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.
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?
