“We all step in shit from time to time. We hit roadblocks, we fuck up, we get fucked, we get sick, we don’t get what we want, we cross thousands of “could have done better”s and “wish that wouldn’t have happened”s in life. Stepping in shit is inevitable, so let’s either see it as good luck or figure out how to do it less often.”
One of my favorite reads is "Greenlights" by Matthey McConaughey. It's self-help without the BS. Old school therapy that was shaken up in a margarita glass. A mixed elixir of Kerouac, Watts, and Chesney.
It gave me a shot glass size of motivation to send some randomness your way. Greenishlights if you will (because no one can match the crystal clear green-ness of McConaughey).

The older you get, the more you will prefer Gin over Vodka.
Black coffee and neat Scotch are good for the soul.
Take chances.
You can never say "I love you" too many times.
Ernest Shackleton is still the best explorer of all time.
Don't regret your life. Live it.
PS; I tried to find a contemplative image of myself to match McConaughey. The best I could do was a shot of me on a run.
