Cough Drop Philosophy

 

Did you know that the Halls brand of cough drops contain wisdom and encouragement beyond the ages on their wrappers? You can do a little meditating/self-affirmation while soothing your throat. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without these words and phrases…

 

March forward! (But not into a wall)

 

Turn “can do” into “can did!” (Also, brush up on your grammer)

 

You’ve survived tougher. (That which doesn’t kill me just makes me really annoyed)

 

Dust off and get up. (Actually, you should get up first. Then dust off and put a bandaid on your skinned knee)

 

Put your game face on. (Unless it’s the kind where your team colors are split on each side of your face – no one wants to see that)

 

You can do it, and you know it. (Yes, I know it…I just don’t wanna right now…)

 

Seize the day. (Strangle the life out of it, if you have to)

 

Let’s hear your battle cry. (Yee-haw!! You asked, and that’s it)

 

Be resilient. (But don’t forget you have a spine. Use it!)

 

Tough is your middle name. (Along with “cheap and easy” “trouble” “look out!” and a few others)

 

Inspire envy. (And if not envy, then fear is good too. Also trepidation. Don’t be predictable)

 

Impress yourself today. (Look in the mirror. If it doesn’t crack, you’re doing just fine)
