Life's Little Lessons
There’s always ups and downs our lives. Sometimes, we just need a little help to lift us up when we are down – a hug, a kind word, or a word of encouragement. There is power in words. The right words at the right time, at the right place can change a person’s point of view, or in some cases, a person’s life. It is like a key opening the lock to a recess of the mind which we did not know existed. Here are some aphorisms, maxims and truisms – motivational and inspirational words to nudge you along life’s journey during your moments of doubt.

howdy sir Vincent! These are great, many of them are brilliant in fact. My voting power is low and I gotta rebuild but maybe I can give you a couple of cents.
howdy @janton. Thanks for taking a look. Every upvote helps, but I do understand how it is with voting power and RC. So, don't worry about it.

Thanks sir Vincent! What are your plans for the weekend? Wild parties again or trying to pick up more bad habits?
Wild parties sound like fun, and we are never too old to pick up more bad habits. (I thought I had picked up all the bad habits.) But nah, not this weekend, I will have a quiet weekend, for a change.
haha! this weekend you need to take it easy because all the wild partying has worn you out huh? lol.
