What is the motto or creed you live by?

DJ Bear · 04-26-2013, 06:50 PM

This question has been bumping around in my head for some time. I thought it would be interesting to know what others motto or creed is.

For the longest time I really didn't have one. I was really only existing but existing in my head.

For the last few years I have been living my motto/creed, it is from the Bushido Code of Ethics, the Japanese American fighters from WWII.

These 2 mottos/creeds have spoken and stay with me.

Duty and honor bound.

Troubles are to be kept to oneself. Do not show hurt.

So, these are my, what are yours?

Kindness is my religion

Don't take the free ride in your own life

I have two that resonate with me to the point they have become personal mottos.

1. Keep moving forward. (I have always said this to myself but it really hit home when I saw it used in the animated movie "Meet the Robinsons." )

2. Trust Your Journey. (I say this so much I even had someone special send me this quote on a bracelet that I wear often, and especially in times of distress.)

Katniss~~(Of course my grandmother also raised me on 'Keep it classy, always' and I would never let her down.

"garg'n uair dhuisgear" which is gaelic for "fierce when roused" The Roberston clan family motto
and
"Don't let the bastards get you down" what my family have been saying for years.

I have no need to conform to the stereotypes others have defined for me!
