A new look on life #MentalHealth #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Addiction #PTSD #Selfcare

In therapy one day this lady shared something about life she was taught. Here it goes;
"Life is like a dollar, four quarters. You're first 25 years (1st quarter) of life you make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. When you've reached the second quarter and 50 years old your life if half over, let's assume you live to be 100. Kids are almost or are grown. You're still working, paying a mortgage but your much wiser. When you turn 75 3/4 of your life is gone. Friends and family members your age become fewer each year. Now you look back and remember growing up, raising a family and are enjoying retirement. At this age you have much wisdom. At one dollar or one hundred years and you know how short life truly is. Putting life into 4 quarters made life span even shorter. I try to keep positive, tell those close to me I love them more often. And try to make good memories.

Accept what is,
Let go of what was,
And have faith in what will be.

The best things in life aren't things.

Memories take us back,
Dreams take us forward.

Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.

When I hear somebody sing, "Life is hard," I am tempted to ask, "Compared to what?"

Hope ya liked these. Stay strong!!!
