What I Learned in Life (Part 1)

I started a weekly series dubbed “Inspirational Sundays” last week, for people searching for motivational posts. I am not sure how far I could go with these, but sometimes, we just need a good read to make us realize that life is not so bad at all.

This week’s feature is a very nice reflective post. I find it quite lengthy so I decided to cut it into two parts. Hope you guys like it.

*******************************
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 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 who you have in your life that counts.

I’ve learned – That you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you would better know something.

I’ve learned – That you shouldn’t compare yourself to the best others can do.

I’ve learned – 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 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 it’s 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.

Second part will be next week on “Inspirational Sundays.”
