My Journey Through Life

I’ve Learned

that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.

that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.

that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

that either you control your attitude or it controls you.

that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place.

that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.

that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others, Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.

that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret, It could change your life forever.

that your life can be changed in a matter of minutes, by people who don't even know you.

that the people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon..

    i agree with everything you said especially about the learning to forgive yourself bit. Cos i know that people can forgive you but the best feeling you get is when you firgive yourself for something you have done cos you can do yourself a lot of harm.
    NB-Your blog looks great! you changed everything. The graphics didn't come up though but i could read the post clearly. I think the problem is from blogger or something.

    "that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them." nothing has ever been more true.

    you have learned a lot Clara.

    "that either you control your attitude or it controls you."

    true but some character traits are genetic. not matter how much you try you can't change the way you think and feel. You can but then you're not beind true to yourself...you also expend a lot of energy doing.
