What is a life motto? A life motto is a tool a person uses to define who they are, set goals, and to make decisions. It’s a phrase a person may ultimately begin to live their life around. I didn’t always have a life motto, but I’ve adopted one throughout the years that has stuck with me. My life motto is to never compare myself to anyone else, and to try and become a better person every day. I try to become better than the person I was yesterday daily. Life is about growth, and I don’t ever want to become or remain stagnant in life. My life motto is what it is because I believe that comparing yourself to other people is a waste of time. We were each born with a special purpose and calling we were put on earth to do, and that only we can fulfill. No one can be us like we can! To add to, I don’t beat myself up over things I wanted to accomplish or regretted not doing yesterday at the beginning of each new day. I also don’t beat myself up over my faults and failures at the end of each day. I simply start over at the beginning of each new day, and try to do better (become a better person daily) after accepting responsibility and accountability for the previous day’s actions. I chose this life motto because in the past I had a bad habit of comparing myself to others before I adopted it, and I’m very hard on myself. My life motto prevents me from comparing myself to others, beating myself up on bad days, and becoming stagnant in life daily. I don’t think my life motto defines who I am, but it has helped me to set (mentally) healthier goals and to make better life decisions. My adopted life motto is a phrase I live by every day.

Yes, I have a life motto. I want to love people like God loves me and the whole world. I try to live obeying the percepts and principles set forth in the bible. You message today is wonderful and shows great wisdom.
Thanks, likewise. I’m an Christian and never do anything without consulting God and His Word first. I just didn’t include that tidbit in today’s post. Great motto, Mary! Take care āŗ
Be true to yourself āš
