QotD is a feature dedicated to answering questions from Piccadilly’s 5 Year Question a Day Memory Journal. The journal states its purpose is to help reflect back on daily routine and to act as a “time capsule” of experiences. As someone who laments their awful memory, I thought this was a wonderful tool and opportunity.

What has been the best advice you’ve heard lately?

It was actually from a fortune cookie my partner gave me. It said ‘If you can shape it in your mind, you will find it in your life.’

This wasn’t necessarily anything new or that I haven’t heard before. But it was a lovely reminder that thoughts don’t have to stay in my head, that through my own doing I can make them a reality. I felt it was a lovely piece of advice for where I am at in life right now.
