Life lessons
Due to a busy me (YEAH! HAHA), I did not realize that it's almost CHRISTMAS! Yes, if it werent for some pinoy talkshow I saw discussing noche buena I won't even have a hint. HAHA! Well..to be honest.. I don't really feel like celebrating since this Christmas is different.. WAAAAY DIFFERENT.. than the previous ones our family used to have.
And yes, in less than 3 months we'll bid goodbye to 2008:) I really can't wait! I mean dont get me wrong, there are a lot of moments worth remembering from this year.. but I rather start on a clean slate since pretty much everything in my life changed in less than 2 months...and those changes were MAJOR changes. Haaay..
Since I'm being sentimental these past few days I tried looking for some inspiration when I saw a blog of a friend bookmarked in my laptop. I remember how I used to read this one a lot and learn a thing or two every single time I read it. I believe every statement of this blog and I just like to share it to you guys:)
LIFE LESSONS
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I've learned that no matter how much I care some people just don't care back.
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 it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but whom you have in your life that counts.
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 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 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 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 two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
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 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 no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn’t stop for your grief.
I’ve learned that no matter how you try to protect your children, they will eventually get hurt, and you will hurt in the process.
I've learned that you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.
I've learned that heroes are people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I’ve learned that you can keep going long after you can’t
