Whenever you get the opportunity to do something you want, grab it with both hands because it may not come by again. When I was 21 my father spent his final months a bitter and angry man because he would never be able to do any of a those things he had been planning to do "one day".  I decided then and there to "never let a chance go by" and I have no regrets.

Don't sweat (worry) the small stuff,,, if you can't influence it,,, don't worry about it.

If you can influence it and you want to,,,,,, go ahead.

Don't woory be happy.

Is this REALLY the hill to die on? If it is I'll die here, if not I'll let it go through to the Keeper.

Life is like a long road, with mountains to climb and rivers to cross with a few turns in between.

But at the end of the day the sun is going to rise the next morning and sure as hell it is going to set that very night.

So we just take the good with the not so good,as in most cases that part is out of our control.

Mine is a poem by Max Ehrmann that I find good to live by;

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be critical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.

© Max Ehrmann 1927
