My Guiding Principles: My Quote and Mantra

By Tracy Schruder

I live my life guided by two powerful reminders: a quote that resonates deeply with me, and a personal mantra that keeps me grounded. The quote that shapes my perspective is: “Everything is Temporary.” This simple yet profound truth helps me approach life’s challenges and joys with equanimity, reminding me that nothing lasts forever – not the hard times, nor the good.

Alongside this quote, I repeat a personal mantra to myself: “Everything is working out for me.” This affirmation helps me stay focused on the positive, trusting that even in uncertainty, things are unfolding as they should.

Together, these two principles remind me to stay present, appreciate the moment, and trust in the journey. They inspire me to live with intention and gratitude, embracing each day with an open heart and mind.
