Any advice you’ve ever heard or given. I linked a great video that I think would be my answer, combined with the “stop caring what other people think about you” and “comparison is the thief of joy” comments below. Just do stuff that you wanna do, don’t compare and don’t care what others say. It’s awesome advice.

    You don’t have to be good at your hobbies—you only need to enjoy them.

    Never loan anyone anything unless you’re willing to give it to them, because that could well turn out to be exactly what you’re doing.

    ETA another one that just came to me, that I’ve always liked because it’s a witty turn of phrase in addition to being useful:

    If you’re doing something that leads you to wonder if you should have some safety gear (gloves, particle mask, hearing protection, etc.), then the answer is “Yes.”

    Take care of your body. Teeth, bones, joints, muscles, and skin can all be repaired but it’s never as good as a factory original.

    Also, those repairs cost time and money. My father in law is almost 20 years younger than my dad and can’t do as much in a day as my dad. He’s shortened his quality life because he thought shrugging off problems was what you should do.

    “Don’t compare yourself to others.” Everyone develops at their own pace. This also helps in building a good self-esteem.

    “Treat others as you would have them treat you” is garbage, utter fucking trash

    instead of the shitass golden rule, I prefer the platinum rule: “Treat others how they want to be treated”

    IDK about advice per say but it kinda fits. My favorite quote from rocky.

    “The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward."

    I shared this before here, but it completely changed the way I live my life:

    Perfect is the enemy of good enough.

    So please, give yourself grace and understanding especially if you are a perfectionist. Go at your own pace.

    I hate this advice, but because its true for all tasks also:
    “You don’t need to wait til 1:45 to start studying.”
    So just start at 1:32:30.

    When dropping into a half pipe, overcommit the lean. The last thing you want is to slip over backwards. Slipping forwards is fine, you just might have to roll.
