Advice from a Bear

This quote is from a bookmark my wife gave me:

Live Large

Climb Beyond your Limitations

When life Gets Hairy Grin and Bear it

Eat Well

Live with the Seasons

Take a Good Long Nap

Look After Your Honey

 end quote.

I found this to be good advice for people who want to survive their lives.

I have noticed that people who don't survive long often don't follow this kind of advice. The Bear has survived for thousands to millions of years just like the Buffalo. To underestimate either creature is to be a fool.

Getting too citified can interfere with your own long term survival when things get bad.

It's important to be wild enough to survive in life whatever you are going to encounter. Just hiding from problems doesn't solve them.

It took me into my mid to late 20s to realize that when you identify a problem you might solve this problem right away so the molehill doesn't become a mountain and then you are finished.

So, learning to take one thing at a time and solving problems as they come is the mark of a long term survivor here on earth. 

Almost anything can or will happen to you as you move through life. Being adaptable enough to survive all these changes one way or another is the mark of a true survivor into a remarkable old age.
