What have you learned?

[past7]

A friend sent this to me recently.. A little trite perhaps, but I quite like it. Many undeniable truths. Happy Holidays!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

I've learned- That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to
be.

I've learned- That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It
may be the
last time you see them.

I've learned- That you can keep going long after you can't.

I've learned- That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I've learned- That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I've learned- 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.

I've learned- That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it
needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

I've learned- That money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I've learned- That my best friend and I can do anything, or nothing and have
the best
time.

I've learned- That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're
down, will be the ones to help you get back up.

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

I've learned- That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest
distance. Same goes for true love.

I've learned- 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.

I've learned- 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.

I've learned- 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.

I've learned- That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes
you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I've learned- That no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't
stop for your grief.

I've learned-That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we
are, but we are responsible for who we become.

I've learned- That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't
love each
other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I've learned- That we don't have to change friends if we understand that
friends change.

I've learned- That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could
change your
life forever.

I've learned- That two people can look at the exact same thing and see
something totally different.

I've learned- That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people
who don't even know you.

I've learned- That even when you think you have no more to give, when a
friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

I've learned- That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human
being.

I've learned- That the people you care about most in life are taken from you
too soon.
