Here's what I have learned( actually still working on a few of these.)
I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. all you can do is be someone who can be loved.I have learned that no matter how much I care, some people just aren't going to care back!I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it.It's not what you have in life, but who you have in life that counts. You can get by on charm for about 15 minutes, after that you had better know something. I have learned not to compare myself to the best others can do , but to the best I can do.It's not what happens to people , it's what they do about it.
I have learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you a heartache for life.No matter how thin you slice it there are still two sides.It is easier to react than it is to think.Always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I've learned you can keep going long after you think you can't. We are responsible for what we do , no matter how we feel. Either you control your attitude, or it controls you.
Heroes are people who do what has to be done when it has to be done regaurdless of the consequences. Learning to forgive takes practice. There are people who love you dearly and just don't know how to show it. Money is a lousy way to keep score. Sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you are down are the ones there to pick us up!
I have the right to be angry, I just have no right to be cruel. I am becoming more and more like my mother , and I am alright with that. True friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance, like love. Love is not for me to keep , but to pass on to the next person. I have learned that family won't always be there for you. It may seem funny,but people who arent related to you can love and take care of you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren't necessarily biological. No matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief. Sometimes we must learn to forgive ourselves. No mattter how much you try to protect children , sometimes they get hurt and you will hurt in the process. Many things can be powered by the mind the trick is self control. Doing the right thing for the wrong reason is still the wrong thing to do. No matter how fast or far we go we can't out run GOD. Where do I draw the line between being nice, and not hurting others feelings, when I need to stand up for what I believe?
It's taking me a long time to become the man I would like me to be.
P.S. If you have led a sheltered life, or are very spoiled and high maintenance, if you think the world has victimized you, and you can't remember ever being wrong, please keep moving!! :down:

Why take the mystery out of it? Hit me up, and we'll see.......
