Reflection on What I Have Learned

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't know how to appreciate it. 
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, & 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 it's not what happens to people that's important. It's what they do about it. 
I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides.  
I've learned that it's a lot easier to react than it is to think.

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 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 learning to forgive takes practice. 
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 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 true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.  
I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had & what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated. 
I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief. 
I've learned that our background & circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.


I've learned that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your perception towards others.
I've learned that no matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves, get farther in life. 
I've learned that many things can be powered by the mind, the trick is self-control.    
I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe. 

I've learned that nice people are often not good people & good people are often not nice people.
I've learned that never to trust anyone 100% because humans are not perfect and will never be, you can only be cautious.
I've learned that the best way to gain self-confidence is to do what you are afraid to do.
I've learned that writing, as well as talking, can ease emotional pains.
