#31: Don’t Force It
Isn’t it funny how some advice is meant to be taken literally, but it actually applies to many other things in life? This person’s dad would always encourage them not to force anything by saying, “If it doesn’t fit, it’s not supposed to.” Although he was usually talking about shoes or clothing, this can totally be applied to many other situations in life.
“Don’t force it” is a wonderful mantra to take with you throughout life. Some things are not meant to be, no matter how much we’d like them to happen. Trying to force a square peg into a round hole isn’t going to solve any problems, as even babies know – it’s just going to make new ones.
