What have you learned? - Page 13

Venus007 · 06-23-2015, 03:46 AM

I am ultimately only responsible for my own thoughts, deeds and actions

Orema · 06-23-2015, 04:03 AM

When I get back up after falling down, I'm a little smarter, a little more resilient, and grateful for the opportunity.

Tierney · 06-30-2015, 04:53 PM

That Life does not come with instructions nor a manual to go by. I have also learned that sometimes I wish I had that ability to flip a switch and just not care - but then - I would never feel what I am meant to feel.

When someone shows you who they are the first time, believe them!

This will happen many times in your life. Don't think they will want to change, they won't. I've learned the only person you can change is yourself.

I've learned that kittygrrl is right.

Eating watermelon seeds does not make a watermelon grow in your belly.

Brown cows do not give chocolate milk.

Grandpa could not really piss up a rope.

If I cursed lightning really did not strike me down.

ps. I miss you Gram.

Sex takes the least amount of time, and causes the most amount of trouble

Love is not enough
True friends are rare
I am enough, just the way I am
First impressions aren't always what they appear to be
No one controls me, but me
Jealousy truly is evil
Anger and resentment only hurt me
Life is short
Your health is not guaranteed
Looks are not everything
Money is not everything
The only opinion of me that truly matters, is mine
I am strong all by myself
There is nothing wrong with being a strong independent woman
That broken hearts do heal, eventually
That a broken heart doesn't mean a broken person
That what someone says isn't always what they mean
Revenge is pointless

Expecting the worst causes a lot of stress.

...I have learned that it is okay to take time to self nurture and allow myself to feel self compassion, without feeling guilty. I still have time for those that are a part of my life at the same time*S...

I have learned that there are some people who will never understand you.

kittygrrl · 08-21-2015, 12:38 AM

it's much better to give, then to receive

Tierney · 08-21-2015, 04:58 AM

I continue to learn and practice, just let it go, and be.

Sadly not everyone has my best interest at heart....

That for me, I must respect the one giving the advice..as well as, see proven success in a given area before I can even begin to take it seriously, or at all.
(Thank you, Father).
You wouldn't take a podiatrist's advice for a toothache, now would you?

Folk who insist they have "their sh*it together", are usually standing in a boatload of it.

You teach people how to treat you. IF someone says something extremely negative to you or about you, don't respond. If you don't, it still belongs to them.
