I don't have to win every battle to prove I'm right. What is meant by that is that I can let people have the last word, but that doesn't mean they've won 😉

"Happiness isn't in the having. It's in just being. It's in just saying it."

That line sticks with me every day.

A piece of advice that’s stuck with me is, “You can’t control everything—only how you respond.” It’s helped me stay grounded during stressful moments and focus on what I can influence instead of wasting energy on what I can’t. That mindset shift has made a big difference in how I handle challenges.

"If you can pay your rent/mortgage with one week's worth of your pay, then you can make it." (financially speaking)

This piece of advice was given to me by my husband's grandmother and it's actually worked for us.

Live your life the way you want to live because in the end if you end up unhappy with the outcome there is nobody but you to blame for the life choices you've made.

When I cashed in my woefully failed pension fund and looked to invest in the stock market, everyone told me not to and to stick the money into a savings account instead.

I took their advice, binned it and made enough money investing to buy a good sized property in a really nice location and add a professional grade, soundproofed recording studio.

Not all advice is good advice!

"As long as you try your best, that's the best thing that you can do." - My grandparents and parents told me this on numerous occassions growing up and it has stuck with me ever since.

One advice that sticks with me is taking care of myself because It is so simple to become burned out in this digital world. I just want to be productive and healthy.

My dad always said other people's opinions of you don't matter all that much, and I can understand where he's coming from. I was self-conscious and anxiety-ridden for the longest time when I cared too much about other people's judgment, but it seems I've grown enough to get over that stage of life finally.
