Eventually you realize there isn't always somebody handing out permission slips. Sometimes you just have to decide you're going to try.

Marriage isn't built only through anniversaries and vacations. It's built through coffee, errands, conversations, favors, patience, and thousands of ordinary acts of love.

Teach your children to work hard. But also teach them that their value isn't determined by how productive they can be every minute of the day.

Stop always being the person behind the camera. The people who love you will someday want proof that you were there too.

[Jason Deihl @JackOfAllRandom]

Do one thing today that makes tomorrow easier. Small favors to your future self eventually become a different life.

[Jason Deihl @JackOfAllRandom]

You are allowed to hear something and keep moving. Not every topic requires your reaction.

[Jason Deihl @JackOfAllRandom]

Sometimes the five-minute answer isn't enough. Put the phone down, stay a little longer and have the conversation that actually needs to happen.

[Jason Deihl @JackOfAllRandom]

You can be kind, respectful, and do the right thing—and somebody still won't like you. Don't sacrifice yourself trying to accomplish the impossible.

Maybe getting older isn't about becoming less capable. Maybe you're finally experienced enough to stop wasting so much time on things that never mattered.

There's always going to be another "more." More money. More time. More success. Don't become so focused on getting more that you forget how to enjoy what you already have.

You can't change what an older version of you did with what they knew then. Learn from that person. Don't spend forever punishing them.

[Jason Deihl @JackOfAllRandom]

One day you'll look over and realize the person beside you has been growing older with you the entire time. Don't forget to notice them along the way.

[Jason Deihl @JackOfAllRandom]

Pay attention to who you become around certain people. That's often more important than whether you like them.

[Jason Deihl @JackOfAllRandom]

Bad days distort things. Give yourself enough time to see the situation from somewhere other than the middle of the storm.

[Jason Deihl @JackOfAllRandom]

When your child is overwhelmed, they don't always need you to match their emotion. Sometimes they need somewhere safe for that emotion to land.

Unspoken expectations create unnecessary resentment. If something matters to you, communicate it. People who love you still can't read your mind.

Save for your future. Pay your bills. Be responsible. But occasionally spend some money creating the story your family will still be telling 20 years from now.

They may forget what you bought them. They'll remember whether home felt safe, warm and somewhere they wanted to be.

[Jason Deihl @JackOfAllRandom]

There will always be another deadline, problem or responsibility. If you wait for life to calm down before you start living, you may wait forever.

[Jason Deihl @JackOfAllRandom]

Imagine the younger version of you standing beside you today. Would they feel safe handing you their future?
