I love it too. And *try* my best to live by it.
I started using it first a couple years ago, when I was in serious pain from another medical condition. It's always hard not to sink into that "poor me, oh well, the day is wasted already, I won't even get out of bed" type of thought. Some days, excruciatingly hard.
But, in that instance, I started doing better (and feeling better) on the days I did *something*, even if it was to meet a friend for tea for just half an hour. That made the day worth it. (Because that was the *whole* day for me then.)
Then "this" IBS thing happened. And it was back to the same cycle of being brave enough to go out, even if I had to leave 100 times because of D (only barely an exaggeration). I'm working, and I'm trying. But...I'm living!
It helps me to have that as my sig. Makes me accountable to my own philosophy, hehe.
