One of the suggested lectionary readings from the Bible for today is Proverbs 17. These sayings contain wisdom for life. I invite you to read these over and choose one to guide how you live out today.
 
Better a dry crust with peace and quiet
    than a house full of feasting, with strife.
The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold,
    but the Lord tests the heart.
A wicked person listens to deceitful lips;
    a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.
Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool-
    how much worse lying lips to a ruler!
A bribe is seen as a charm by the one who gives it;
    they think success will come at every turn.
Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs
    than a fool bent on folly.
Evil will never leave the house
    of one who pays back evil for good.
Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam;
    so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out.
A friend loves at all times,
    and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
