Have you ever heard a piece of advice that truly resonated with you? Maybe something that changed the way you view life or made you rethink a decision. We all have those nuggets of wisdom that stick with us. Whether they’re about work, relationships, or just navigating life, some pieces of guidance are universal. We asked our wonderful community at ICIBlog for their best advice, and the responses were nothing short of amazing.

So, here are 55 essential pieces of advice that everyone should keep in mind, delivered with a mix of humor and practicality:

1. Remember, even the toughest moments only last 60 minutes. Take life one second at a time.
2. You can’t control everything around you, but you can control how you respond to it.
3. Live authentically; don’t succumb to the expectations of others.
4. If you feel ignored by a doctor, request they document your concerns in your file.
5. Avoid making decisions while you’re angry, and don’t make promises when you’re overly happy.
6. If it’s a good idea today, it will still be a good idea tomorrow. Sleep on it.
7. Don’t try to rationalize the irrational.
8. Take life one day at a time.
9. Don’t take criticism from someone you wouldn’t ask for advice.
10. Comfortable shoes are a must!
11. If the grass seems greener on the other side, remember there’s likely some manure involved.
12. Pay attention to your body; it knows best.
13. Treat others as you wish to be treated.
14. The most powerful words aren’t always “I love you,” sometimes they’re “I’m sorry.”
15. Always check for toilet paper before taking a seat.
16. When uncertain, say, “Let me think about it.”
17. Never grocery shop on an empty stomach.
18. Don’t take everything you read at face value.
19. Avoid sending that text; give it 48 hours.
20. Don’t sweat the small stuff, and definitely don’t pet the sweaty stuff.
21. Don’t let someone else’s bad day justify your own bad behavior.
22. Trust your gut instinct; it rarely leads you astray.
23. Forgiveness doesn’t mean allowing someone back into your life.
24. Pursue your own dreams, not someone else’s.
25. Marry someone you genuinely enjoy being with, not just someone you love.
26. Never lend money you can’t afford to part with.
27. You won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s totally fine.
28. The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse evades the trap!
29. The grass is greener where you water it.
30. Actions often speak louder than words.
31. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
32. Remember, courage is not the absence of fear; it’s feeling the fear and doing it anyway.
33. Choose what’s right over what’s easy.
34. Make it a habit to learn something new every day.
35. Failure isn’t the opposite of success; it’s part of the journey.
36. The only true failure is never trying at all.
37. Much of your mental stress comes from believing reality should be different. Let go of the “shoulds” and embrace the “coulds.”

39. Charge your phone regularly.

41. Don’t forget to brush your teeth!
42. Be generous to yourself; life is long, and you’ll make plenty of mistakes.
43. When you’re wrong, own up to it. When you’re right, keep it to yourself.
44. Try not to take things too personally; most people think about you far less than you think.
45. Only pack what you can actually carry.
46. Spend ten minutes each day taking a break at work; it adds up to a surprising amount of paid time.
47. Whatever you do, do it with love.
48. Get in the picture, no matter how you feel about your looks.
49. Don’t take life too seriously; it’s meant to be enjoyed.
