I've learned

     " 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 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.

      I've learned that without pursuing your dream, your life is empty, regardless of how much money you have "

      I've learned that you always have a choice.

love yourself

       It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.

         The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself. 
 Self-love is not so much a feeling as it is a decrease of self-doubt and self-disapproval. It involves an ever-growing sense of balance and belonging. 
         Respect, responsibility for self, and feeling good are important values.

• Who you are is more important than what you are.

• You are valuable. Nothing can change that.

• What you want always matters.

        'Life's a dance you learn as you go, sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow. My life is about taking chances.

 I could have missed the pain, but I would've had to miss the dance.'
