Sometimes people really surprise us with the deeply profound things they say to us, and that message can be life-changing.

Worry Less

"'Worry is not preparation.'"

- Big-Routine222

"My husband told me once, 'If you’re worrying about it before it happens, you’re putting yourself through the experience twice.' While I still worry about stuff, it’s really put it in perspective."

Celebrate Life

"I stopped giving a s**t about my birthday when I was 27. I used to request off or at least the day after off to recover from the previous night, but I just stopped caring."

"Last year, an old lady at my job found out it was my birthday and surprised me with a card with money in it, the kind of way a grandma would."

"I tried to tell her it wasn't a big deal and give the money back, but she insisted, saying, 'You should always celebrate your birthday. You don't know how many you have left.'"

Life Lessons for Kids

"Prepare your child for the road, not the road for your child."

- dvmdv8

"The way I heard was: You can't child-proof the world, so you'd better world-proof your child."

- CowBoyLaw

Not a "You" Problem

"A person's actions are a reflection of their character, not yours."

- YallMindIfIJoin

"Everyone is someone else and they’re all just trying to find themselves. Let them."

- bulitproofwest

A Challenge to Step Up

"'Yes, someone should do something about that. So who are you? A nobody?'"

"I have long struggled with feelings of inferiority and whatnot, that kind of helped out."

- Burning_Monkey

Live at Your Own Pace

"'Why tiptoe through life to arrive safely at death?'"

"Although you also have the opposite, 'I would rather be late in this life, than early in the next.'"

- liberaliar

Over Before You Know It

"When you're about to become a parent, the amount of s**t you get told is unreal. Parents can't wait to tell you, 'You'll get no sleep, you'll have no life, it's all changing nappies, etc.'"

"However, I was in a meeting with a guy at work, we were making small talk before the meeting, and I told him I was about to become a dad, expecting the usual."

"Instead, he just went really deep but really chilled and just went, 'You're about to have the most amazing thing happen to you ever, but never forget, they're not yours. You're just borrowing them while they need you but you need to get them ready to not need you anymore.'"

"The older my kids get the more I appreciate it."

- Educational_Act_6602

Processing Grief

"When my baby died and I was a mess, someone told me, 'I can’t imagine the pain you’re going through. I know your heart, expectations, assumed roles, and future memories have been broken. But to your child, they had a perfect life. All they ever knew was your love.'"

"I still cry thinking about it but it really did help. I know some may take this differently, but it was what I needed at the time."

- ballerinabaskets

Love with Nowhere to Go

"Grief is the price we pay for love. And it’s a bargain."

- khmergodzeus

"I’ve heard it slightly differently as, ‘Grief is love with nowhere to go.’ I like yours better."

- LB-Dash

The Power to Let Someone Go

"If someone you like doesn't like you back, as hard as it is, you have to let them go."

"If you truly care about them as you claim you do, respect them when they say their happiness is without you. Otherwise, trying to force it is now only about you, and that's not love or friendship."

- llcucf80

The Pain of Indifference

"It's not that deep, but I heard it as a sophomore in college (remember that hormonal swamp that is your late teens?) and it just floored me: 'The opposite of love isn't hate; it's complete and utter indifference.'"

- dragonfeet1

Sometimes Things End

"Something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success, doesn't do us any good."

- yakuzamax

The Importance of the Journey

​"All that you’ve gone through: the good, the bad, and the in-between have led you to exactly where you are now. You had to go through it all in order to be here, with me now."

- tvaldez19

This were powerful points that we could all learn from. It absolutely makes sense why these Redditors found these points to be so groundbreaking.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

People Describe The Worst 'Bonus' They've Ever Gotten At Work

Most of us have worked at one problematic workplace, with reasons ranging from toxic coworkers to terrible bosses to unlivable pay. Sometimes, it feels like a joke that the employees are even being paid at all!

But the biggest joke of all might be the end-of-year bonus, or lack thereof. They're at times so laughable, they take the cake for horrible work conditions, or are quite literally, a slice of cake.
