Depression cannot hit a moving target 🎯 😀

i’m not sure if it was Marcus Aurelius or Sigmund Freud, but the saying is 99% of the things that we worry about never happen.

Buy Land, they’re not making it anymore I think that was Albert Einstein

I only found a book with this title: "Depression Hates a Moving Target: How Running With My Dog Brought Me Back From the Brink" which is a sort of autobiography by Nita Sweeney, documenting her struggles with depression. 

I also remember this saying by Mark Twain: "I had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened."

Marcus Aurelius is credited with this beautiful quote: "Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready... The teacher will Disappear." This is Lao Tzu.

"Buy land, they're not making it anymore." This is Mark Twain. 

We can never be sure about the author of a particular quote. The internet often misquotes sayings. Therefore it's best to write "Anonymous" when we are not really sure.

Anyway, it's only human to make mistakes. So even if we misquote a good quote, this certainly won't be the end of the world😊 I always say: "We'll all be perfect when we are dead."

Money doesn't matter.  Yeah, right.

Becky🤍 Of course, money does matter.

I particularly like this saying by Jonathan Swift: "A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart."

Or this one by Will Rogers: "Too many people spend money they earned... to buy things they don't want... to impress people they don't like."

Check out other interesting quotes on money here. This is a perfect source for us, barely making meets end, to acquire this "money-making mentality" of the champions.

You are sorely missed here on BB. This is your site, as well as it's anyone else's:mybuddy:

Expect a Xmas visit from me on your blog🤍

Quotes aren’t necessarily true, just very witty and designed to take the focus off life is difficult for some of us who can’t afford to buy land. Let alone afford a place to live
