What's A-Motto With You?
How many among you have seen Lion King - the movie or musical? The Lion King is special to me for a lot of different reasons. One of my favorite songs is Hakuna Matata. Here's a clip that makes me laugh.
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase. Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze. It means no worries for the rest of your days. It's our problem-free philosophy. Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata?
Yeah. It's our motto!
What's a motto?
Nothing. What's a-motto with you?
Those two words will solve all your problems.
The song got me thinking about personal mottos and mantras - little sayings that help us get through the ups and downs of life. My dad used to say "Do Your Best and Have Fun" (along with other things like "To Make Little Girls Like You Ask Questions and It Worked Too, Didn't It") but I digress. Anyway...a few of my other favorites are:
Positive, Professional, & Proactive
Tomorrow is Another Day
It Is What It Is
It's Not About What You've Done, But About What You Do Next
So my question for readers is this:
When you are worried about passing an upcoming test, getting all your projects done, making a good impression in an interview, going on a first date, playing in the big game, or just getting through another day during a stressful time in your life, what mottos or mantras help provide comfort for you?
